The cottage is described as comfortable and quiet, with a lovely garden, although there is a note about the need to navigate between floors due to the bathroom arrangement.

We loved it here. Lavenham is beautiful… like stepping back in time. The house is wonky and charming. It has everything you’ll need. You are in the heart of the little village so you can explore on foot. We did a treasure trail while we were there which was fun and helped us find out interesting information about the village. I would definitely recommend.

We’ve been coming to Red Lion Corner for nearly 20 years now. Lots of family and friends connections in Lavenham and Bury Saint Edmunds since 1968. When my brother found Red Lion Corner all those years ago, it was the best possible base for our family adventures.💕
