Location

The Mill House is on Prentice Street set near the heart of Lavenham's Market Place. Lavenham is known as "Suffolk's best preserved medieval village".

At the centre is the magnificent Guildhall of Corpus Christi, a reminder of the town's wealth during the height of the wool trade. Nearby are buildings of similar beauty including the pretty Little Hall and the grandiose Church of St Peter and St Paul.

This remarkable small town has a useful range of shops including a butcher, post office, pharmacy, bakery, traditional grocer's store and modern co-op and visitors dining in Lavenham are spoilt for choice.

A wider range of services can be found in Sudbury, Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich or Colchester and the latter has direct services into London's Liverpool Street Station from approximately 50 minutes.
