3-star historic Tudor inn on Long Melford's high street
History & Architecture
The Crown Inn Hotel occupies a building constructed in 1610, retaining Tudor cellars and exposed internal beams throughout. The property is family-run and sits at the centre of Long Melford's high street, within walking distance of Melford Hall and the Long Melford Heritage Centre. These architectural details and the inn's continuous operation as a hospitality venue are the hotel's most distinctive features.
Dining
The on-site restaurant serves award-winning modern British cuisine at lunch and dinner, with daily specials and generous portion sizes. The menu includes a children's menu and accommodates dietary needs with proper attention from the kitchen. During warmer months, guests can dine or have drinks in the courtyard garden, which offers outdoor seating with a relaxed setting.
Accommodations
All 11 en suite bedrooms come with flat-screen TVs, and the hotel offers family rooms that consist of two separate bedrooms with individual bathrooms. The building's historic character means rooms vary in size and layout, with some located in an annex behind the main inn. Guests have access to free Wi-Fi and tea and coffee makers in every room.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The Crown Inn Hotel is situated on Long Melford's high street, placing guests within a short walk of Melford Hall, a National Trust property, and the Long Melford Heritage Centre. The nearby Giffords Hall Vineyard offers wine tasting, and Nethergate Brewery is accessible by bus from the village. Street parking is available on the high street in addition to the inn's small on-site car park.
Family-Friendly Accommodations
The hotel provides family rooms that include two connected bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, offering space for families with children. A dedicated children's menu is available in the restaurant, and the kitchen accommodates dietary restrictions upon request. The courtyard garden and the inn's central location near community events make it a practical choice for families visiting the area.
