Advantages: Plenty to see and do Disadvantages: I don't live close enough to take advantage of it any more
Whilst I wait for the inspiration to write about some new places I've been, my thoughts were turning to an old familiar and favourite attraction - Kentwell Hall in LongMelford, Suffolk. And since this is very much the year when staying home became the new going out and the staycation hit the headlines, I thought it would be fun to share this lovely place with you before the forthcoming half-term holidays.
I used to live a few miles away from Kentwell Hall and I loved this particularly beautiful stately home so much that for three years I had annual membership which enabled me to visit the grounds and farm whenever I wanted. Unlike many of England's stately homes which have to resort to the support of the National Trust or English Heritage, the family who own Kentwell have succeeded in building a self-supporting attraction that has ...
Advantages: A wonderful place to visit, either for a short break or a day Disadvantages: It can get busy in the tourist season
LongMelford is a large village in Suffolk, close to the market town of Sudbury, and 20 minutes away from Bury St. Edmunds. The village lies on the A134.
So how did LongMelford get it’s name? The village street is nearly two miles long, and I was always told as a child, that it boasted the longest main village street in the country, although I am not sure if this is true. Whilst the length of the village is impressive, its width is only a quarter of a mile, hence the name. The village dates from Tudor times, and many influential people have lived there. http://www.longmelford.co.uk/village/people.html sets out a brief history of the village.
LongMelford is a tourist attraction and people come from all over the country to visit the village, either as holiday makers or just out for a day trip. I lived in the village ...
Advantages: Fantastic staff, individually decorated rooms Disadvantages: Unfortunately, I have no excuses to go there now
stay the night.
I've eaten breakfast, lunch and far too many dinners both in the bar and the restaurant. I've also hosted some rowdy business meetings there - if the owners should ever come across this review, they may still remember some vodka tasting sessions that quickly degenerated to lots of hysterical giggling. I was the one booking the hotel on those occasions. As well as colleagues, I've also booked friends into this hotel when we ran out of space to squeeze them into the house we lived in nearby.
The Black Lion is a real 'one of a kind' country hotel, located on the green at the north end of the Suffolk village of LongMelford - much loved by antique collectors and people who enjoy visiting stately homes (there are two, Melford Hall and Kentwell Hall, which can both be seen from the hotel). Melford is a lovely place ...
