North Essex / Suffolk - pub with rooms

Can anyone recommend a nice pub with rooms or a country hotel in constable country / aldeburgh type areas.

Thanks

The Great House at Lavenham isn't a pub, but is (ummm) great.   Also there's a good pub literally across the road.  not precisely where you want to be, but not terribly far.  

Le Talbooth or Milsomes , both excellent.

 

Further afield but worth a bit of travel is The Cricketers in Clavering, run by the more talented side of the Oliver family.

The Sun in Dedham also has rooms I think?

The Talbooth is on the way to Dedham from the A12, Dedham is gorgeous (and Flatford Mill on the other side of the river from the village is literally the subject of a Constable painting).

Agree re: Le Talbooth too. The Swan at Lavenham has a little spa and afternoon tea (they also do a gentleman’s afternoon tea with less cake and more sandwiches) and Lavenham is a nice village
