Small room.

Cosy place and location. Went for a nice walk to the town with some nice scenic views. Room was small but nice, good bathroom facilities. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very nice and of high standards.

Rooms very hot, with no lighter / summer bedding options - just a thick duvet - and a "bearskin" rug and cushions on the bed in August! odd that the only room with a walk in shower - for someone with limited mobility, should be on the first floor, with no lift in the building. To be fair, we did know this when we booked - so not a complaint - but accessibility issues should be improved.

Milsom's is in a good location and pleasant grounds. Excellent selection for breakfast and a good dinner menu that had plenty of tasty options. Staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms comfortable.

Rooms are a little on the small side but understandable in such an old house.

Hotel in a great location and with the great weather lovely seating area to sit outside. Staff were very friendly and brilliant idea to have car transfer service from Milsoms to Talbooth.

The room we were allocated was next to the bins and noisy,the window to the bedroom did not open and the room was very stuffy even with the fan.

An excellent location but poor accommodation because we had a dog with us

Honesty can’t fault it. My husband didn’t enjoy this starter at dinner, which was too spicy. That’s it! The only reason not a 10/10 was the slightly more chaotic lunch service on Saturday.

Brilliant staff, a warm welcome and very relaxed feel throughout our stay. We were there to meet family who were travelling to meet us. It was perfect.

Noise of A12 quite obvious

Beautiful location, ignoring the noise of the A12! Complimentary upgrade very well received! Room was comfortable, spacious , nice decor. Stylish restaurant/bar with good value for money and attentive staff. Good breakfast included with lots of choice

Breakfast as mentioned above

Beautiful location, charming staff. Great dinner and good wine. Breakfast was just OK, if we had paid the £27.50 as on the menu, I would of been very unhappy. Limited buffet , some good egg options cooked, but just ordinary.

Grab rail into the bath would have been welcome.

Lovely hotel. The location was great, easy to find just off of the A12 but near to Dedham village and the River Stour for a country walk. Room was very comfortable and the air conditioning very efficient. Public areas very nice. We found all the staff very pleasant and accommodating. We were especially pleased and would like to highlight the excellent service we received from a member of the bar staff (sorry didn’t get his name) for getting us nightcaps after the bar had closed and we had arrived back later than expected from a concert. He also showed genuine interest in our evening.

TV volume wouldn’t always work despite being advised to turn it on and off it took loads of times to come on! Just a little annoying.

Beautiful location and building

Decided to eat outside which was a little cold. Would have benefitted from some of the heater being switched on

The restaurant food was tasty and good value. Breakfast was excellent,

Nothing.

Loved the onsite vehicle charging.

The A12 is within earshot of the hotel, so you can hear the cars going by during the day if you open the window. We were placed in room 14, right by the fire/staff exit, which made a lot of noise during the day, which wasn't ideal when the baby was trying to nap. The interior is a bit 'tired' and in need of a face-lift, as other reviewers have commented. The £35 pet fee was not mentioned when booking the room and a bit steep comparing to other hotels.

The hotel is located right next to a river with a lovely river walk that one can take all the way to Dedham. The food at the hotel restaurant was fantastic! The staff were also incredibly friendly.

It was very noisy at night. People above sounded like they were moving furniture very late. It was hard to sleep

The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious.

There was only one thing we didn't like. There was a couple in the restaurant wearing baseball caps but this was obviously nothing to do with the Hotel.

We liked everything. The room was spacious, comfortable and had a beautiful view of their wonderful tree in the garden. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and attentive. They was extremely trustworthy as I accidentally left my phone in the toilets and also cash in the room. They contacted me by phone and I went back to collect. Very impressed.
