My wife and I visited for a 3 day break. The village is small and charming and in a quiet location with easy access to Lavenham, Bury St Edmunds and a couple of historic houses. The lovely14th C Inn is managed by Jack and Jess who made us very welcome. Jack took our luggage from the car to our room. Nothing was too much trouble.
We stayed in the ensuite garden room, Orwell, which was clean and comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities. It was only a very short walk to the bar and restaurant in the main building.
Service for breakfast and the evening meal was excellent and attentive whilst not being intrusive, creating a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
The food was delicious thanks to the skills of the chef Sam Glover.
Overall it was clear a lot of effort has been put into making a stay as enjoyable as possible. We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

The welcome and hospitality was excellent. Comfortable bed and good quality bedding.
Food is excellent, deserts are to die for and breakfast excellent with just the best quality local produce.
Location is beautiful and the drinks selection is excellent - outstanding wine including hughe selection by the glass - and non alcoholic gin. We would return to eat.
The room was small. Shared bathroom - we did know the latter when we booked. Spoilt by some other guests who had no consideration for others but not to be clear this is not the hotel's fault.
Whilst hospitality was a very high standard in the main, we weren't asked our choice of eggs at breakfast.

The welcome, the food , the drinks, the room.
Only downside for us was that the beds are all 4.6 double's, we struggled with that as used to at least a king size.

A friendly warm welcome, a stunning room which was clean, cozy and beautifully decorated. Our meal was undoubtedly one of the best meals I have ever eaten in my life. We visited to celebrate a special occasion and from start to finish, The Peacock Inn was fantastic. The staff lead by Jack exceptional, the food exquisite and the decor, and ambience perfect. What a little gem. We can’t recommend highly enough and will certainly be returning very soon.
Everything was just superb !!

Very friendly staff. Comfortable bed.
No ensuite (my mistake when booking probably), rooms quite small, extension lead just hanging down looks tatty. Window difficult to keep open and room was incredibly hot, luckily a fan was supplied. No hairdryer. Breakfast was tasty, but no continental option, only cooked.

Gorgeous old pub full of charm.The service from Jack, Annabel and team is first class,really friendly and professional.
The garden rooms are lovely and well equipped with tea, coffee etc.
The food in the restaurant is superb, some of the best I’ve had and they go the extra mile to accommodate you if something on the menu needs tweaking ( I had a sauce removed due to shellfish allergy).
Breakfast was delicious and the freshly baked soda bread is gorgeous.

Wonderful staff, fascinating building, sensational food, ideal location, comfortable bed.
Did not realise room was NOT en suite. One shared bathroom did not have a working light. One shared toilet left in a mess by another guest. Music and voices from bar/kitchen area came through ceiling to our room loudly until closing time.

Breakfast was basic. A variety of bread could be offered. Jack ( manager) was very helpful and attentive to guests. Problems with room were addressed after we reported them. The croissants were delicious.
No chair in the room. The sourdough crusts were very hard to eat. We had to ask for juice and water at breakfast. No toast was offered.

This is truly a wonderful place. And where you can come and where you can spend a nice time, good food great Atmosphere Of course yes Very much attention is paid to the guests who come, everything possible is done so that they like it and want to come again great food great atmosphere.
We had problems with parking. I think that a special place should be allocated for the Parking lot, and there should also be identification marks that I had a Mercedes for this parking lot, it is a fairly large car and it was very difficult to direct it to put the car in the right way, as many parked the car as they wanted and others could not park their car. To do this, you need to put up a sign accordingly and warn guests so that they do not think only of themselves.

Gorgeous location,beautiful old building.lovely welcome from the helpful staff
I appreciate that it is a very old building but our room in the main building was a bit of a muddle. Free standing fan cable muddled up with chair leg, it was a smallish room so just felt a bit ‘untidy’. no creamer in the tea/coffee making box. no hair dryer although there should have been one. (Possibly removed by the previous guest) but should have been spotted when the room was cleaned/prepared for the next guest although lovely staff did eventually find one to let me use. None of this is really important and certainly didn’t spoil or stay as staff were so helpful.

The staff were exceptional. They were engaging, polite and made us feel very welcome. The food was also very, very good.
Only a very minor issue the pillow were too soft for my liking, possibly having an option of firmer piloows.

Absolutely, everything about this place is spot on. The food was exceptional, Jack is very funny and a perfect host, and the service was great. 100% going back as Sunday lunch sounds like it should not be missed 👌

Breakfast was very good and the complimentary croissants were a lovely surprise and very enjoyable.
Nothing, all was as we expected. The location was very convenient. The ladies that we met running the bar and dining room were very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the laces that we wanted to visit.
