Great accommodation for the 6 of us. Had everything we needed to have a relaxing holiday. The enclosed garden was perfect for the 2 dogs who loved running around the bungalow at speed. The park at the back of the house was also great to walk dogs. It made an ideal base for visiting the areas historical Willie's and towns. Quiet and very relaxing.
United KingdomWelcome Hamper was a lovely touch and the lodge was beautifully clean and comfortable
United KingdomI liked the house and the garden was huge, great for the dog.
United Kingdom* Comfy beds. Beds were extremely comfortable! * Nice outdoor space, the lavender terrace and gardens were lovely and it was a bonus to have the orchard and private parkland. * Nice quiet location. Such a peaceful area. * Informative book of local places and the property was very good. * Welcome hamper was very welcomed. * On hand for recommendations when we were seeking a local pub. * Very spacious with property. * Lots of amenities, smart tv, washing machine and dishwasher all very handy. * All staff encountered prior and during stay were really lovely.
United KingdomThe large private gardens, apple orchard (in full blossom at time of visit) and 15 acres of parkland was the unexpected highlight of our trip. Plus the whole area was fenced with chicken wire to make it very dog friendly. The lodge itself is lovely and in a beautiful location, perfect for a visit to Dedham, Flatford, Hadleigh and Colchester.
United KingdomSuch a lovely location. Near the coast and lots of local things to see.
United KingdomTruly exceptional holiday cottage. The location is effectively on the corner of an estate, which makes up a larger combination of parkland, orchard and old Suffolk mansions. It's tranquil, undisturbed and immersive - if you have dogs or kids the 12 acres of private grassland and walks are absolutely beautiful. We arrived during the Coronavirus outbreak which was both a blessing and a curse - this meant all the pubs closed the first night we stayed, but it did mean it was somewhat easier to stroll the country lanes without fear of large volumes of traffic. The kitchen has most utensils you could need for a few days stay and the complimentary teabags were a godsend when the local Co-Op in Dedham had sold out (be aware - this is the nearest supermarket, and it's about a 3 mile walk or drive). There is ample parking for 2 cars on the private gravel driveway (be prepared for a fairly tight turn to get in and a slightly tricky blindspot pulling out).
United KingdomSpacious accommodation on one level. Beautiful aspect to garden and access to parkland. Super comfy beds with luxurious linen.
United KingdomThe welcome hamper was quite exceptional. Thanks. tg
United KingdomHamper was a generous welcome, property in a lovely location with wonderful views and very peaceful. Open layout of longe/kitchen/diner very good, light and spacious.

Neighborhood info
The Dedham Vale a classic lowland landscape, straddling the Stour River, has been the inspiration for England’s world-renowned landscape artists Constable and Gainsborough who lived and painted in the Vale. Little has changed over the centuries and with its charming villages, local attractions and beautiful surrounding countryside, the Dedham Vale remains a calm and timeless retreat only an hour from London. John Constable born in East Bergholt in 1776 was an English landscape painter in what became known as the naturalistic tradition. Being born in Suffolk, he is mainly known for his landscape paintings of the Dedham Vale which surrounding his home, and therefore also became known as "Constable Country". Being designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) by the Countryside Commission in 1969 was a key milestone in recognising the tranquillity and natural beauty of the Vale. The Dedham Vale Society was founded in 1938 and has be successfully fighting for the protection of of our landscape, built heritage and wildlife for over 80 years meaning Constable would still recognise his cherished landscape.
