The Mill - Bed & Breakfast in Suffolk
Hall Mill House, Hall Street, Long Melford, CO10 9DY, Suffolk
England,
Regno Unito
Your comfort is Paul and Clare’s priority. They’ll happily run you and the kayaks up to Sudbury for a day on the river, or lend you bikes and give advice about where to cycle. There are wonderful walks straight from the door too – return to chocolates and fruit cake in your room.
Attention has been lavished on the guest bedrooms in the converted cottage by the front gate. The Melford room has views over the Tudor turrets of Melford Hall and a great brass bath. The Garden room has its own log-burner and a private walled garden. Everything under the old beams is bespoke, interesting, immaculate.
Ask your hosts about the rich history of the house and its most famous occupant, the WWI poet Edmund Blunden – they’ll show you his first editions. You have a generous and relaxed breakfast in the main house conservatory; forget the car and spend days enjoying the village treasures and shops; stroll out to a different place to eat each evening.

Paul Jarrett & Clare Livens:
- Its all about location! Gaze from your room or private garden toward the soaring spires of Melford Hall. A couple of steps east from The Mill brings guests to the square pond and moat of the Hall; look out for swimming swans and Muntjac deer.
- Sample great food in numerous eateries and sip craft beer in our very own brewery overlooking wheat fields. Long Melford has a fantastic choice of bars and restaurants with some outstanding fine dining options all within 5 minutes walk from The Mill.
- Do you like to walk, paddle or cycle? The Mill provides free bikes & kayaks to explore nearby areas, so you can get lost on a hot summers day in Constable country! Explore Flatford Mill, Dedham &Stoke-by-Nayland; paint your own picture of sleepy Suffolk!
- Long Melford is renowned for having an excellent variety of independent shops & vibrant art galleries. The TV series 'Lovejoy' was filmed in the village so prepare to search for treasures and curios in some colourful and quirky shops.
- Immerse yourself in the writings of the war poet, Edmund Blunden, whom lived and died at The Mill. He wrote some of his works in The Garden Room and was a professor of poetry at Oxford University. The Mill holds a small collection of his 1st edition works.
- Step back in time at Kentwell Hall, a romantic, moated, red brick Tudor mansion in a tranquil setting. Just a 20 minute stroll from The Mill, Kentwell offers a myriad of special events that appeal to everyone, and has delightful formal gardens to explore.
