The Greyhound - Historic Former Inn - 4-Star Hotel in Glemsford

The Greyhound is a 4-star bed and breakfast set in a 16th-century timber-framed building. Guests have access to the property's sprawling gardens with outdoor furniture and birdwatching opportunities. The building's original low beams and Tudor character are preserved throughout the guest areas.

Each room offers a private dining area where breakfast is served individually, away from other guests. The Deluxe Suite includes a four-poster bed, separate lounge area, and a mezzanine library. Breakfast choices include a buffet with fresh pastries and fruits, plus an à la carte cooked option.

Hosts Kay and Doug provide a personalised welcome sign at the driveway with the guest's name and designated parking space. They supply a printed folder with local restaurant recommendations and reliable taxi contacts. Guests also receive daily room cleaning with fresh flowers and bottled water.

The property lies in the Suffolk village of Glemsford, a short drive from the historic villages of Long Melford and Lavenham. Nearby stately homes include Melford Hall and Kentwell Hall, both within 5 miles. Clare Castle Country Park and Giffords Hall Vineyard are also reachable within 15 minutes by car.
