What the Guests Say

• Friday, 13th of April, 2018, Teresa & Simon:
  

  Our second stay in this gorgeous cottage has been wonderful and we're sure it won't be our last - this is coming from people who don't usually return anywhere. It's easy to while away gentle time in the cottage and Lavenham has many treasures. Delicious food at The Great House, Greyound and The Swan. Thank you Gillian and Grove Cottages for a blissful four night stay.

• Friday, 23rd of March, 2018, Lucy:
  

  This cottage really is 5* and every possible necessity is provided. I can only imagine the owners must have spent years staying in 5* places and thinking what could be added to make their stay perfect, then applied it here. Immaculately clean, wonderful bed and linen, antiques and very warm. Welcome basket a bonus and a wonderful warm welcome from Gillian

• Sunday, 11th of March, 2018, Lucinda:
  

  Our weekend in Lavenham at Mint Cottage could not have been better. We received a lovely warm welcome and everything was provided for. Everything was wonderful - thank you! We will need to come back

  Lovely cottage, cute and quaint just like to other Grove Cottages!

  Mint Cottage is a beautiful cottage in a peaceful street in Lavenham. A very comfortable 4 poster bed and cosy fire to relax in front of.

• Friday, 5th of January, 2018, Matt & Saff:
  

  We have loved staying at Mint Cottage. A truly five star cottage with everything you could need for your stay and a perfect location, with everything in easy walking distance. However what really made the stay memorable is the cottage itself with beautiful features and an enormous king size four poster antique bed. A really romantic and relaxing setting. Outstanding.

• Friday, 29th of December, 2017, Kerry:

• Friday, 29th of September, 2017, Suzanne & Gordon:
  

  We often say to ourselves "oh look at that beautiful cottage, it must be so lovely to live there, lucky things"! Well this is your lucky day, you get to live the dream, for a short while anyway - but then you could always come back or try one of the other amazing cottage that The Grove offer. You can be sure of their high standards on every occasion. I've been a customer since early 2015 and would highly recommend any of the cottages. You are assured of the perfect break as they take the worry away, you just have to show up!

  Absolutely perfect - the cottage is beautifully fitted out with everything one would need. Quiet residential side street, lovely patio and garden for bird and bee watching, stars at night, morning coffee and newspapers. Particularly loved the big bedroom and king size bed. So dark at night, haven't slept this well in years -:). Listen out for the owls! Don't change a thing it's perfect! The website is well done with lots of good photos - these clinched the deal! Also, Gillian does a great job with the walk through on arrival, very thorough.

  What an experience! This cottage is excellent in every way possible. Cosy, very comfortable and beautifully decorated in keeping with its age, yet containing all the modern touches necessary – far out well being. We were truly pampered! In addition a most generous food hamper added to our comfort. As Australian visiting to the UK we are always in awe at the history all around us. Not surprising, considering Australia was not settled until 1788 – just a baby in comparison! Mint Cottage & Lavenham, did not disappoint us in this regard !
