“The Crown Inn seems a proper village hub in Long Melford, judging from the feedback - cyclists appreciated the secure bike storage, and the bar seems to do a brisk trade. From what I gather, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and the freshly cooked breakfast is a highlight that sets you up for exploring the Suffolk Wool Towns.”
