Lavenham
Choosing luxury self-catering accommodation in Lavenham offers you the chance to take in the famous 15th and 16th century exteriors of the village. The village’s medieval cottages and churches reflect its status as one of the period's twentieh wealthiest settlements in England, and much of its rich history remains accessible to Cottage Gems holiday-makers. For those seeking out a history-enriching holiday, Lavenham is located near to the town of Long Melford, which, much like Lavenham, is known for its medieval wool trade and the preservation of much of its heritage. The villagers also famously rose up against Wolsey’s ‘Amicable Grant’ Tax during the reign of Henry VIII. More recently the area had been used as a location by filmmakers, perhaps most famously (and under strict secrecy) scenes for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows were filmed here. The village is only a two hour commute to London, giving you the perfect balance between rural and urban.
