A wonderful cosy cottage - warm and very well equipped. Brilliant location in Lavenham, close to the centre but very quiet. It feels like a family home not a self catering run of the mill cottage. Excellent welcome basket and friendly introduction from Gillian. Completely delightful. Hard to leave
Everything perfect.
We had a great long weekend in Penny Cottage! Lavenham is lovely - will definitely be coming back in future
Another lovely cottage - thanks for recommending it for our short break! Sweet and characterful, well equipped and in a stunning village.
A truly charming, warm and cosy cottage, in the heart of this fascinating village. Quiet and peaceful with lovely open views from the back. Beginning with the warm and helpful welcome from Gillian, and continuing throughout our short stay, our experience in Penny Cottage has been wonderful
Penny Cottage is one of the nicest cottages we've stayed in. Fresh flowers, welcome basket, cosy fire and a comfy bed - super. A warm welcome and a cosy cottage in a beautiful setting. We wish we'd booked a third night - next time! We will be back
Another wonderful stay at Penny Cottage. Thank you to Gillian and Grove Cottages, a perfect place to relax. Gillian always makes Penny Cottage a perfect place. Everything is so clean, the beautiful flowers that are left and the wonderful welcome basket. Thank you and see you soon.

Very tasteful cottage done to a professional standard. Spotlessly clean and great views. Absolutely charming - Gillian great and friendly. We've stayed in lots of cottages in the US and UK and this is our favourite so far. Beautifully finished and equipped. Cosy, romantic, perfect spot for a weekend away. Thank you!
We have a dilemma - which superlatives to use! Everything we needed was here. The general appearance of the interior of the cottage was tasteful, considered, attractive etc. The welcome basket was amazing - the wine, flowers etc creating such a welcoming atmosphere - and the added bonus of a decorated tree was just wonderful. We shall certainly consider coming again soon. Enjoyed the short walks around the town and along the old railway route to Long Melford.
As always the cottage is immaculately maintained and enhanced by additional extras, such as the hamper with quality provisions, fresh flowers and the seasonal enhancement of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. We always enjoy a very warm welcome from Gillian. Many thanks.
We were held up on the way down to couldn't get to meet Gillian this time, but she was so helpful and friendly on the phone. Our friends were staying next door and said how lovely she was.
This is our 10th year of coming to Penny and as always it was comfortable and well appointed.

Beautiful cottage in picturesque Lavenham. Self contained with all essentials and many luxuries and yet so close to many places to eat, whilst feeling you're miles from anywhere.
Penny Cottage is the perfect place for enjoying all the features of Lavenham. Every time we wanted or needed something, we found it. Clearly a great deal of thought has gone into equipping and organising the cottage. We especially appreciated the welcome basket.

Another gem from Grove Cottages. Beautiful cottage in a lovely setting. Really cosy and comfy, with lots to do nearby, or just park the car up and enjoy Lavenham.
We have stayed in lots of cottages but have never experienced such a complete 'home from home'. The cottage is perfect in location, quiet and yet every convenience in walking distance. Suffolk is a revelation, very friendly locals and lovely scenery.

It lived up to expectations, will definitely be coming back again.The welcome from Gillian was lovely and started the break off on a great note.

We really appreciated the attention to detail and care in renovation. Everything you will need for your stay, a home from home.
The Cottage was better than expected, so clean with lovely touches around the place. A perfect romantic break.
Excellent, romantic, cosy cottage, with absolutely everything you need. Fantastic location.
This is our 3rd visit to this beautiful litte cottage - perfect in every way.
Excellent cottage, terrific (peaceful) location, wonderful welcome and welcome pack. A real treasure in every way! Many thanks
Penny Cottage is a charming home from home. With all the little personal touches like newspapers, fresh flowers and the wonderful breakfast basket, it strikes the beautiful balance between being cosy and a real treat. 5 Star.
Penny Cottage is absolutely delightful and is situated in the fantastic location of Lavenham. We felt completely spoilt, our every need was catered for and our expectations exceeded time and again. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
Every little thing has been arranged and thought of. The operative word is care, we felt we were cared for, Thank you so much.
We loved our stay at Penny Cottage - a beautiful place in a beautiful town. The welcome basket and thoughtfulness of the facilities let us enjoy Suffolk in true style - Thank you!
We have travelled in Spain and England. This is the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. As we live in Spain we will be recommending it to all our friends, as a perfect holiday in England.
Wonderful greeting by Maryka. Ideal for recharging ones batteries. Penny Cottage is perfection.
Lovely cottage and the bikes were a great added bonus.
The quality of everything is superb. Maryka has thought of everything. Furnishings, equipment and complimentary welcome basket all of the highest standard.
Why can't my own house be like this? Love it here. Thank you to Maryka, Jane, David and Co. for all the care and attention to detail.
A spotless cottage that is cosy and in a great location with a beautiful garden and view. Fresh flowers everywhere inside and out !
Quaint historical cottage, exposed beams, lovely garden, tranquil setting and a different pace of life - a wonderful place to unwind.
Beautiful place to visit. Fantastic welcome from Maryka. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.
Everything about Penny Cottage is perfect. Fresh flowers, Welcome Basket and personalise dgreeting. I will definitely recommend.
Penny cottage 'does exactly what it says on the tin'! The position, facilities and welcome pack were all excellent. A super cottage in a wonderful English setting. Thanks to Maryka and all at Grove Cottages.
We had the most relaxing and fun weekend in Penny Cottage. The photos did not do it justice and it was exactly what we were looking for as a weekend away from London.
Perfection!
We were made very welcome. We appreciated the excellent welcome hamper, flowers and soup. Everything we could possibly need was provided and in very good quality.
It would be very hard to find a nicer cottage; the welcome was good, the village amazing. A really relaxing short break.
We had a wonderful time. The cottage is perfect and we couldn't recommend it highly enough. We will definately be back!
An exceptional cottage in a prime location presented immaculately ! A big Thankyou.
Very cosy and well equipped. Would be the perfect cottage to live in.
Would highly recommend this cottage. Beautiful decor and attention to detail, spotlessly clean and in a fantastic location. Feels like you have stepped back in time !
Penny Cottage is a beautiful cottage in an excellent location. The attention to detail in this cottage is second to none. It is by far the most lovingly restored and well equipped cottage I have ever stayed in. Thank you!
Second visit to Lavenham, two different cottages equally impressive, we are looking forward to sampling more, it's almost like having your own cottage in the country. Maryka as helpful and charming as ever.
Penny Cottage fab. Lavenham quaint. Fabulous weekend.
Fantastic weekend stay at Penny cottage. Beautifully clean and well presented cosy cottage. Great location within a few minutes walk to the town square. Although the weather wasn't good enough to sit out in the garden the views onto it from the kitchen were lovely - managed to see deer and pheasants.
One of the best equipped cottages we've ever stayed in. Everything we could possibly need for a fantastic weekend had been thought of.
A beautiful cottage - perfect in every way. A wonderful place to spend a romantic Valentines weekend. Looking forward to returning. Thank you
We have enjoyed ourselves but your website already says it all.
What a great find! From the warm welcome extended by Maryka to David pulling out all the stops to solve the temporary heating problem, we cannot praise this place highly enough. Absolutely everything we needed, and more (fresh flowers - how many holiday lets go this far!) for a quiet break in the English countryside. This aside from the history and picturesque villages which, in themselves, are more than worth a visit. Even though we were here in the worst winter period for 30 years, we managed to get out and about. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we did including a beautiful Sunday walk round Stoke-by-Nayland, with families tobogganing and great pub (The Crown) to two peaceful days at Minsmere. Perfect!! We hope to return.
The perfect place to chill out in historic and picturesque rural suffolk. No stone left unturned to provide every comfort.
An excellent cottage in an exemplary village.
Our first ever Christmas away from home on our own and we couldn't have chosen a more cosy olde worlde cottage in which to spend it. Lots of lovely welcoming touches including a Christmas Tree and a big tin of choccy biscuits. Although it was freezing outside the cottage was so warm we hardly needed to light the fire stove. Quality accomodation.
Another delightful stay at Penny Cottage, warm welcome from Maryka. Cosy and charming, sorry to be leaving !
Fantastic stay in a beautiful, very well equipped, cottage. Spent most of our time relaxing but enjoyed the farmers market and browsing the shops of Lavenham. Great meal at 'The Great House' on Saturday night.
A perfect cottage in everyway. This was our second visit but not our last we hope. It felt like coming home ! Walking by the river at Iken Cliff was magical.
Beautiful comfortable cosy cottage, fitted out to the high standards we have come to expect from Grove Cottages.
How refreshing to find somewhere that actually lives upto and even exceeds expectations.
Fresh flowers everywhere, a fire ready to light, the softest bed linen and a super beamy cottage - absolutely beautiful ! So quiet too, although 2 mins walk to village.
Penny cottage completely surpassed our expectations - a gorgeous and romantic place to get away from it all !
You will not be dissapointed with Penny Cottage. It thoughtfully combines the medieval character with modern utilities such as the kitchen and bathroom. Spacious bedroom with a fantastic preserved vaulted roof and cosy large living room with its lovely wood burner. Fantastic. We will come again!
The cottage was absolutely delightful - a perfect base from which to explore the many charming villages in Suffolk. The welcome food basket was very generous and much appreciated. We are so glad we discovered Lavenham -a real gem.
So tranquil yet so close to all that the beautiful village of Lavenham has to offer, Penny Cottage is perfect. Ideal for a break, and so comfortable.
Wonderful cottage, great location. Highly recommend this property to friends and family.
Excellent standard of cleanliness. Perfectly formed cottage with everything thought of. Brilliant to have a realistic supply of towels and toilet paper!
The perfect retreat, in a beautiful cottage, in lovely countryside, can't wait to return.
Absolutely fabulous - great cottage and location. Everything on the doorstep, yet quiet! The extra small but special details are lovely - the welcome hamper, the flowers and that wonderful, comfortable bed; all worth the 4 hour drive for a lovely chilled out week.
The cottage is beautiful, immaculate and homely. The 'little' touches are so appreciated-the welcome pack of eggs, bread and fruit was delightful!
Wonderful - the cottage has been so lovingly restored and kept that we've felt as if we've spent the week in a real life 'Country Living' magazine!
A superb cottage in a superb location.
Probably the best appointed holiday cottage we have ever visited - and we have visited many !
The personal touches and attention to detail makes a holiday with Grove Cottages an absolute delight. Most relaxing holiday in years. Grove Cottages, A class act!
Penny cottage is a lovely 'home from home' and doesn't feel like a holiday cottage. Peaceful with lots of character - a real pleasure.

What a find! A beautiful & stylish cottage in the heart of lovely Lavenham. Weve been really impressed by all the service from Eloises helpfulness with the booking, to the thoughtfulness of Kate in making the cottage baby friendly and so welcoming. Amazing attention to detail. Thanks!
