By pure coincidence, someone has left some brochures for cottages in Lavenham on the noticeboard at work. I had a quick look and they look very nice indeed. Not cheap but if you're sharing with a few friends it's not bad for a long weekend.

The main town in that part of suffolk is Sudbury its only a five minuite drive from lavenham. There are plenty of places to stay there. Also try searching for b+bs in Great Waldingfield, Little Waldingfield (2 mins from Lavenham)

Im only a 20 min drive from Lavenham, and im fairly familiar with the area (have a regular customer there). So if any of you need any help finding stuff out i should be able to help.

I know a farmer in the village he has a field which he offers as a holiday caravan site(dont think he advertises), about 1.5 acre usually only 3-4 people staying there on holiday at any one time, so its not like a commercial static caravan place with screaming kids and depressed teenagers, and comunal showers...its literally just a field!!. i could contact him to book the field for the weekend...if enough people were interested. (i think there is a toilet block)

this may be a good idea if you dont mind a tent for the night, as Lavenham is a small place you may well find a hotel to stay in but good luck finding a parking space. at least youd sleep safe in the knowledge you baby is parked next to your head.

let me know what you guys think

Spoke to the farmers wife, very friendly, ive not yet been given a price but i think this idea may have gone cold......thay only normally take caravans so theres no toilet block!!??.
She said they could set up a chemical toilet for the ladies, she even offered her down stairs toilet in the farm house. So unless you fancy that i guess my lead stops here. Oh well :roll: Shame as its only 30 seconds from the market square.

Any more news on Lavenham yet ? The reason is the Mrs is looking at familly holidays next year, and guess which week she's looking at. :roll: Yep, that's right, the last week in June.... I'm trying to convince her to go the following week but don't want her to realise I'm planning our familly holiday around a VW show. :wink:
