Summary: This was our fourth visit to Lavenham but our first stay at The Tryst. We enjoyed the history and atmosphere of the house and even though we’re both in our 80s we managed the twelve winding stairs between floors without and trouble.However, for less agile people or small children, these stairs could be a problem as the two main bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs. We loved the AGA and the warmth it provided. Sometimes it’s difficult to find a car park near the house as Water Street is a very busy street with through traffic. If you’re looking for historic accommodation in a very historic town and are prepared to manage the quirks at The Tryst, you will love this ancient house.

Summary: We had a wonderful time at The Tryst and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The house was lovely and warm, the beds were very comfortable and it was great to be able to stay in a historic building that has been set up to cater for all the convenience of modern life. We really appreciated the fact that the owner made the barbecue available so that we could barbecue the Christmas turkey! Pippa, the owner, responded extremely quickly to any queries we had.

Summary: The Tryst is a gem. This beautifully restored cottage has been thoughtfully and sensitively decorated. It is well stocked with everything you could possibly need and its garden is a beautiful and tranquil place to relax and unwind. The AGA cooker was a particularly wonderful surprise that added to the authenticity and pleasure we had during our stay. Highly recommended.

Summary: We had a great stay over New Year. It was a privilege to stay in such a historic place which was full of character. There were a couple of small things that let it down though. The downstairs shower room was not very clean and in particular the extractor fan which was totally clogged. We were left a small welcome pack which included 3 individual jams which were all partly used and had to be thrown away. We felt that for a weeks stay perhaps more logs, fire lighters and toilet rolls would have been provided. We were of course told to phone with any issues but felt we wouldn’t as it was over new year. The cost of providing these things was minimal and the shops close by but it is these little things that make the stay special. We still had a wonderful time

Summary: We had the pleasure of staying at the Tryst over the Christmas break. The house was outstanding and full of festive atmosphere. The history of the house, the decor and the knot garden would definitely mean we would stay again in a heart beat. The surroundings were beautiful, plenty of places to walk our dog, great pubs and local shops, as well as plentiful historical buildings to admire. The only critic would be to highlight that there is only a small fridge with an internal freezer box. As we were a party of six we would have struggled with the xmas lunch food and provisions for the week but luckily our sons came later so we asked them to bring our plug in cool box!! I am sure many who stay go out to eat, but we love to cook.

Summary: The Tryst is a gem – full of Medieval character but modernised enough to be extremely comfortable. We spent cosy evenings in the Tudor beamed lounge watching Netflix (best of both worlds!) and enjoyed grand dinners in the historic dining room. The location is fantastic, just around the corner from the Guildhall and, even though it was so central, parking was really easy. While we did not use the garden (being October) it looked amazing and I imagine it would be wonderful in the summer.

Summary: The Tryst is an astonishing building, and you're staying in so much medieval history. The cottage is comfortable, and wonderfully situated in Lavenham, which is a great village - make sure you visit the butchers!

Summary: Lovely place to stay; warm, comfortable and inviting. Both log burner and AGA were easy to use. The 2 upstairs bedrooms were huge and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The bed linen was white crisp cotton. There was plenty of hot water and the heating could be adjusted appropriately. The garden bedroom was tiny but we knew it would be and the fridge was small and not easily accessible if you intend to do a lot of cooking for 5 or 6 people - but that's a very minor gripe. The stairs might be a bit hard to negotiate if you were infirm or very elderly. The enclosed garden was lovely and the boot room area was very useful.

Summary: What a fascinating place to stay! So many interesting twists and turns it really has the Wow factor. I kept the venue secret from my friends and they were absolutely blown away when they arrived.Thanks so much!!

Summary: We had a thoroughly relaxing holiday at The Trust, in beautiful Lavenham. The beds were incredibly comfortable; the Aga provided a cosy centre to the house. Situated just a few houses down Water Street from the Main Street in Lavenham, we were in a very handy position for the well-stocked Coop, butcher and chemist shops, as well as just a two minute walk to the Market Square. Lots of local info and walks provided in the house folder. No 10 and the Lavenham Greyhound were our favourite restaurants; the Sunday lunch at the Six Bells in Preston St Mary is out of this world and very reasonable! A proper pub. Be aware, if you have dogs, you will need to walk them five mins down the road for every pee and poo, as the back garden is not suitable for them. A minor problem in what was a wonderful stay. Many thanks!
