Accommodations & Rooms
Each guest room includes a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and bathrobes, plus a flat-screen TV and tea/coffee maker. The Deluxe Suite adds a separate lounge area and a four-poster super king bed, while the Deluxe King Room offers a comfortable seating area with garden views. All units provide bedding and towels, and the historic building retains original timber beams and low doorways that reflect its 16th-century origins.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast is served buffet style with à la carte options, including warm dishes, fresh pastries, fruits, and a full English cooked to order. Guests dine in their own private breakfast room, with no need to share tables, and can enjoy views of the garden while eating. The hotel provides a fridge in the room for milk and butter, and a wide selection of teas and high-quality coffee are available throughout the stay.
Grounds & Gardens
The property features sprawling gardens with outdoor furniture, lawn areas, and bird feeders that attract local birds - binoculars are provided in the rooms for birdwatching. Guests have full access to the garden throughout the day, and can relax on the lawn with drinks purchased elsewhere (nibbles and drinks can be brought from outside). The garden offers peaceful seating areas and a view back at the historic timber-framed building.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The Greyhound is located in Glemsford, within a 5-minute drive of Long Melford and Lavenham, two of Suffolk's best-preserved medieval villages. Melford Hall and Kentwell Hall are both a short drive away, while Clare Castle Country Park offers walking trails and a ruined Norman castle. Giffords Hall Vineyard is nearby for wine tastings, and the historic market town of Sudbury is 10 minutes by car.
Guest Services & Additional Amenities
The hotel offers free private parking with designated spaces marked by the guest's name on arrival, plus a welcome sign at the driveway. Complimentary secure parking for all vehicles, including accessible parking, is available on site. Before arrival, guests receive detailed recommendations for local restaurants and taxi services, and the hosts provide personalized sightseeing tips throughout the stay.
