Top Dedham Vale Hotel Reviews

St Nicholas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room staff was nice"

Ultimate Constable Country retreat -The Pump House

10/10 Excellent

"The Pump House is delightful! I stayed for a week in this charming space, whilst seeing family, remotely working, and taking time to enjoy some country walks. The proximity of the footpaths to the property is amazing, and some mornings I saw muntjac deers and cows in the garden coming to say hello. For me, the cottage itself was very comfortable. It was a cosy space and not too hot, nor too cold. The soft furnishings were clean and really comfortable, allowing me to work remotely from the sofas and the kitchen table. The bed was very comfortable too! I loved the use of the washing machine too, noting that there are some pegs and a washing line too. The Pump House felt very safe, very quiet and calm, and a perfect retreat in a beautiful part of the country. I stayed in September, when the weather was still nice, but the mornings were cool. There were a few extra spiders, but this is very normal in the countryside and to be expected."

Holiday Inn Express Colchester by IHG

8/10 Good

"Carpets need a good clean"

The Crown Stoke By Nayland

10/10 Excellent

"Located in a picturesque location. A good sized room, tastefully decorated with the air of quality. Was clean and quiet with a small private(ish) patio area. Friendly helpful staff. Great breakfast with fresh, tasty produce. Great stay, would stay again."

Talbooth House & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful setting, very helpful staff, lovely hotel excellent restaurant."

Charming cottage in beautiful private countryside with a boating lake - The Calf Pens

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Calf Pens. The local area is very quiet and peaceful, and the accommodation is perfect for one or two couples - with a bathroom each ‑ clean, spacious, comfortable and with all mod cons. The three provided fans, all on standards, were a godsend in enabling us to ride the heatwave into the upper 30s C ‑ as was the superb shower. The two folders of information were particularly helpful and well‑presented: one for the accommodation; and the other for the wider locality. We also appreciated the wine and grocery essentials, in the kitchen and fridge when we arrived.   The estate includes a 1.5 mile walk, kept mown around the field edges, which is great for an early morning or late evening amble serenaded with birdsong.  We spent most of our time exploring the attractive wool towns and nearby villages, as well as the multiplicity of easy‑going footpaths through the glorious countryside.   We struck up a happy relationship with the owners, living in the adjoining main house, but that was as much at our instigation as theirs. We never felt our privacy was compromised and our entrance and parking were entirely private. The lawn is overlooked by the main house, so is not so private, but is in a lovely setting facing south west.   Hadleigh is the nearest sizeable town for food shopping, boasting a Co‑op and a Morrisons, less than a 10 minute drive away.   In summary, we recommend The Calf Pens (converted!) highly."

The Marlborough Dedham

10/10 Excellent

"Considering the age of the property, dating from 1456, the rooms were beautifully modernised whilst keeping the original features. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and I honestly can’t fault anything. The only negative was the heat but nothing anyone could do about that!!!"

Barn conversion with private pool - Yew Tree Barn

10/10 Excellent

"A truly exceptional stay. Yew Tree Barn is a very special place — full of character, charm and the feeling of a much-loved home rather than just a holiday cottage. Beautifully presented, peaceful and set in wonderful Suffolk countryside. The attention to detail and care from both the owners and Idyllic Cottages made our stay perfect. We have stayed in many places over the years, but this is honestly one of the best. We are already looking forward to returning. A very special hidden gem (although we almost want to keep it our secret!)."

The Marquis

8/10 Good

"Beatiful building and setting. Excellent staff. Food 7/10. Its classical which is fine but maybe uninteresting."
