Guests say
Hylton Cottage in Lavenham is a characterful property praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, the added bonus of an upstairs bathroom, and the thoughtful touches from the owners, such as a festive hamper. While some mention thin walls and a garden in need of tidying, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with the cottage's charm and convenience standing out.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as spotless, indicating a high level of cleanliness throughout the property.
The cottage is celebrated for its excellent location in the heart of Lavenham, convenient for exploring the town and nearby attractions, though one review mentions noise from the road.
The majority of guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with special mentions of a comfortable bed and a cosy atmosphere, although there is a single mention of thin walls impacting comfort.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped cottage and an appreciated upstairs bathroom. However, a comment about a garden needing maintenance and a lock issue, albeit resolved, slightly affect the score.
The owners are noted for their thoughtfulness, particularly with a Christmas hamper and decorations, but as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this is reflected in the summary.

Hylton cottage is full of character. It is very comfortable and well equipped. Its position in the beautiful town of Lavenham is very convenient for sight seeing, shopping and using the excellent local buses to visit Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury. While we were there the weather was very good and we appreciated the pretty garden where we could sit and have our coffee. Being able to park our car directly outside the property was also a bonus.

A lovely quirky comfortable cottage set in a perfect location in Lavenham. It has everything you need for a break in this beautiful part of Suffolk and is central enough for trips right across the county. Lavenham is a lovely village with everything one would want, a range of shops, pubs and restaurants for all budgets. The plus for us is that the cottage as well as the village is very dog friendly. Highly recommended.
