I went to this hotel as part of a residential art week. The accommodation, in one of the (several) converted barns was very good. Housekeeping every day. The room was spacious large walk in shower room and lots of storage. The restaurant was absolutely wonderful. A fabulous selection at breakfast. Dinner was wonderful, lovely cooked meals with lots of variety. The owners were lovely too. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Beautiful gardens. MOre shabby chic than luxurious but we all felt really comfortable and welcomed. A real find. I’d love to go back and highly recommend.

A small but cosy hotel in Dedham. Our room was tidy and modern, and the staff were all very friendly (even late at night when we returned to the venue). Would return!

We visited for Sunday roast on a hot and very busy Sunday. The pub was packed but despite this Ella went out of her way to give us a personal experience that felt special. The food was top notch and we will definitely visit again.

We had originally planned to be in Norwich however had to change our plans at short notice. My husband emailed the owners of Dedham Hall and we were so glad to get a reservation for 3 days before our next stop in London. Dedham Hall is a lovely old house set on several acres of beautiful gardens. It is picturesque and a perfect setting for an art studio. (The owners also run art classes). The room was large with an attached bathroom and shower. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was hearty and the owners spare no efforts in making the guests happy. We were even able to buy a jar of their wonderful marmalade! Dedham Hall is a stone’s throw from the river as well as a Michelin star recommended pub. We highly recommend Dedham Hall and hopefully we will be able to stay there again in the future.

We took some friends for night away in Dedham. Jim and Wendy were lovely as always, the Hall is so quiet and comfortable and the food is excellent and great value. Peaceful walk down to the river in the morning, for a coffee at Flatford Mill and a ride on the Stour Trust electric boat - great way to work up a thirst on a hot summer day! We will definitely be back. Many Thanks David and Jo Woods

Fabulous traditional country hotel with excellent accommodation and top notch food options. Very convenient if you're intending to walk to Flatford Mill where the Haywain was painted - it's a 45 minute walk alongside the river. Staff were very friendly and helpful and even managed to find me the right sized Alan key to unscrew my camera's battery compartment! Very Highly Recommended
