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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.



A great place for cosy weekend

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!

We had a lovely week at The Tryst. It’s an amazing old property with a gorgeous garden - spent some evenings eating outside, and others enjoying the restaurants Lavenham has to offer. For a property that is over 500 years old it’s got all the mod cons you require from a rental property. It’s also brilliantly located in the heart of this beautiful village.

The Tryst is one of the most beautiful cottages in Lavenham that we have stayed in perfectly situated in the village with plenty of parking available. It has a lovely sunny cottage garden with a shaded seating area at the bottom. The cottage is steeped in history with beautiful period furniture. The 3 bedrooms all had such comfortable beds and heard no noise from outside so we all slept so well. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for my mother in law as she struggles with stairs she had double doors she could throw open into the beautiful garden and the sun would stream through.there was a lovely bathroom with shower downstairs also right next to her bedroom which was so handy, she didn't want to leave. We would sit outside in the morning having breakfast and soak up the morning sun and enjoy a bbq in the early evening sun too. We can't wait to return to the Tryst in the winter for a cosy break with a roaring fire.

The Tryst is a beautiful, higgledy-piggledy house in the centre of Lavenham. It has all the trappings of a Medieval dwelling, subtly blended with modern facilities to make it an ideal place to stay. The garden is beautiful and we were able to eat outside, as the weather was kind to us. We had an excellent birthday celebration dinner at No 10, only a few minutes walk from the front door.
The Tryst certainly deserves it's Five Star Rating and I would not hesitate to recommend it
