I had a lovely stay at Maison Talbooth/ La Talbooth, overlooking Dedham Vale. The rooms were comfy and spacious, offering a nice view of the surrounding countryside. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. The location was first-rate, close to the center of Dedham and with a beautiful view of the river. The dining experience was a triumph, especially with gluten-free options available. The facilities were excellent, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel is an excellent choice with beautiful countryside views, idiosyncratic room decorations, and extremely comfortable beds. However, it could use a fresh coat of paint. The service is top-notch with plenty of gluten-free options and attentive staff, making one feel well taken care of. Dining is a true delight with a focus on local suppliers and fresh produce, but the location seemed in need of refurbishment. The facilities are impressive with an in-house taxi service and an unmanned honesty bar for a relaxing experience.

The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms feature nice finishing touches and a stocked fridge, but they need redecoration, as do the common areas, which are starting to look tired. The excessive warmth in the room, even with the radiator off and the window open, was a drawback. The location is great, overlooking the Dedham Vale and close to the center of Dedham, with a varied selection of amenities. The dining experience, while feeling luxurious, had a cold atmosphere and limited breakfast options.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms, though up three flights of stairs, were beautifully decorated with nice finishing touches and a stocked fridge with plenty of goodies. The extremely comfortable bed, Sky TV, Bose Radio, complimentary soft drinks, and fruit added to the enjoyment. The room was light and bright, offering pleasant views of the gardens. The idiosyncratic decorations gave a unique charm to the space.

After a full day of activities, including the outdoor heated pool and hot tub, the quality of service remained consistent, such as at the unmanned honesty bar and during a delicious lunch with a bottle of Prosecco.

The location is truly lovely, overlooking the picturesque Dedham Vale. The combination of Maison Talbooth and La Talbooth makes it a top-choice destination, with a serene ambiance for a special escape, even though the property seemed to need a fresh coat of paint. The in-house taxi service provided convenience, thanks to Evan and his team, including the Milsoms event planners.

The hotel offers luxurious rooms with comfortable beds and wonderful cotton sheets, though the bedroom with little natural light and the small, damp patio are downsides. The service is professional and friendly, with plenty of gluten-free choices available. The stunning location and varied selection make it a top choice, despite needing a paint touch-up. The dining experience was exceptional, especially the best breakfast ever, although a bit ordinary at times. The facilities are top-notch, with an outdoor heated pool, hot tub, and an unmanned honesty bar for a relaxing day.
