A gem of a pub/hotel in picturesque village
This traditional pub had a nice large room with loads of rustic charm. The staff were brilliant and the breakfast was amazing! For the price it was well worth it.

Great
Lovely building and room with great staff and really good food. The only slight downside was the noise in the room overnight, as the charming-looking windows are gappy.

Nice pub in a great location.
Stayed at the Marlborough for one night. Room was comfortable and clean, nice bathroom with very powerful shower. We ate in the restaurant and found the food very good value with excellent service. Breakfast was also good (the "Big Breakfast" lived up to its name!). Will definitely be back.

Lovely stay in the heart of Dedham
We had a really lovely stay here. The room was lovely and a good size, comfortable bed and great amenities. The bar and restaurant had a great atmosphere and the food was really nice. We thought the breakfast was a continental only but its not, and they offered a great range including full English, so that was a nice surprise and made the overall price even more value for money. We would be happy to stay again.

Amazing stay!
Amazing stay! Room was spacious, clean and lovely. Large bath. Lovely view of the square and church! Staff are very friendly and accommodating! Food was absolutely delicious with large portions, we had breakfast included but also had dinner which is very reasonably priced! Nice to sit on the sofas right by the open fire if you're having a drink! Great location as set right on the high street and lovely walk to Flatford. We will definitely be back! The only thing to mention was the traffic noise, we were woken at 4am with people parked on the high street (maybe deliveries?) and an unusual amount of traffic going by at that time, however, this wouldn't deter us from returning!
