Nestled in the heart of the picture-pretty village of Lavenham, surrounded by tearooms, galleries and boutiques, this charming apartment is the perfect base to discover some of Suffolk's fascinating history. Boasting a beautiful country-style kitchen, begin the day by cooking breakfast and tucking in around the dining table. When you're feeling energised and ready to explore, you needn't travel more than a few steps to see some of the village's best sights. One of England's best-preserved Medieval villages, wander along the streets of half-timbered cottages and Tudor houses and admire the exquisite architecture along the way. Explore 15th-century stately churches and fascinating museums before stopping for a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants. When you return home, enjoy an evening drink on the balcony while the sun sets.
