  This was a last minute booking so we were obviously very luck to find Mint Cottage available. Pre arrival communication was fabulous and when we arrived the cottage was prepared for the evening. Lights, and heating on for which we were very grateful. Cottage was beautiful and furnishings and linens superb quality. We had everything we needed and more and the attention to detail was wonderful throughout. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack too.

The large wooden wall and ceiling beams made this a very special place to stay. We would certainly like to return.

• Thursday, 23rd of May, 2019, Jon:
  

  Well appointed, cosy cottage. Great location in a mouth wateringly charming town and a perfect centre to explore Suffolk. Not enough time to enjoy all the lovely tea shops and restaurants - you don't need to be Harry Potter to experience it's magic!

We love the cottage and the little touches. It's the perfect place to stay in Lavenham. Everything was lovely as before. Thanks Gillian for the welcome and keeping everything so nice.

• Sunday, 14th of April, 2019, Andy & Alison:
  

  Mint Cottage is very cosy and warm. Bed very comfy and spacious bedroom. Kitchen had everything you need, just as if you were at home. Excellent location here in Lavenham for those who just want complete relaxation, with everything right on the doorstep. Grove Cottages never disappoint. This is our fourth stay in one of the Grove Cottages. All the cottages are lovely and well equipped. We always find them reasonably priced considering how beautiful they are inside. People in Suffolk are so friendly, always welcome in the local village pubs and restaurants. Nice welcome pack on arrival in each cottage which is an added bonus. Will definitely be trying out other cottages in the future.

• Sunday, 13th of January, 2019, Debbie:
  

  Have always loved staying at any of the Grove Cottages - been a fan since 2011. All very well appointed as usual. The welcome basket is a plus as it negates having to shop for breakfast.

• Friday, 4th of January, 2019, Rhiannon & Andrew:
  

  We came here for our mini honeymoon, having got married a few days before. It was a perfect choice! We had a warm welcome from Gillian and the cottage is gorgeous. We'd never been to Lavenham but couldn't have picked a better place.

  This is our seventh stay with Grove Cottages and Mint Cottage is now at the top of our list! It is a privilege to stay in this 16th century cottage with all it's history and character. The cottage was beautifully presented and clean with flowers in every room. Great welcome from Gillian, she explained everything we needed to know and a fantastic welcome basket was waiting for us. Surprisingly large garden with view over open fields. Shame the weather didn't allow us to use it - perhaps next time!!

  A last minute break which was a gem of a find. First time we have used Grove Cottages and we will definitely be back. A lovely comfortable cottage with every little detail thought of, from the lovely welcome from Gillian to the welcome goodies, fresh flowers and wood for the fire, thank you x

• Friday, 14th of September, 2018, Tamasyn & Philip:
  

  My husband and I have used Grove Cottages several times and have never been disappointed. They have always been beautifully decorated with a cosy feel and the welcome basket is an added treat. The cottage is in a great location and we've enjoyed being able to walk to some lovely pubs and restaurants, as well as interesting shops and galleries. I can definitely recommend Hadley's Ice Cream Parlour, the best ice cream we've ever had!! Tam & Phil x

• Friday, 31st of August, 2018, Ivor & Netia:

• Friday, 1st of June, 2018, Julia & David:
  

  This cottage is really the best of both worlds - as quiet and peaceful as being in the countryside (no traffic noise and views of garden and country), but 2-3 minutes walk to several excellent places to eat or to pick up the morning papers. All excellent

• 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

  We loved our stay at Mint Cottage. The bedroom deserves our main attention - the atmosphere of the room is so lovely in warm lamplight and the quality of the bed and linen so scrumptious! We love the attention to detail and fresh flowers in every room.

• 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:
  

  Home from home - such attention to detail. So very welcoming, a cosy hideaway but a short hop from all amenities. A very magical Christmas

  A lovely cottage and attractive garden, sufficiently modernised to give 21st century comfort.

• 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!

• Monday, 25th of September, 2017, David & Jean:

  A wonderful and relaxing place to stay - with the odd unique feature. Well appointed cottage, lovely garden space. Well managed and a very nice touch with the welcome basket and personal greeting from Gillian & Caroline. Felt at home straight away (although we don't have a four poster!). Thank you.

• Tuesday, 27th of June, 2017, Holly:
  

  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.

Lovely garden, lovely village, lovely holiday.

Thank yo for an amazing Christmas, best we have ever had - feeling relaxed and refreshed again!!

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 !
