Talbooth House & Spa – Dedham, Essex
By
2 years ago
Overlooking Dedham Vale in Constable country, Talbooth House & Spa (formerly Maison Talbooth) has established itself as the ‘go to’ spa in Essex. This lovely Victorian house is a super sophisticated place to stay and now includes Jack’s Bar as well as the spa facility (complete with Elemis products) with a swimming pool, hot tub and outdoor sauna as well as six treatment rooms. The hotel is an oasis of calm, where you can step back, relax and indulge. Its 12 uniquely decorated literary-themed bedrooms act as the accommodation arm of their nearby restaurant, now called Talbooth Restaurant. Both are owned by the Milsom family, who have run the restaurant since 1952, and whose portfolio also includes Milsoms Dedham, Idle Waters, The Pier at Harwich and Milsoms Kesgrave Hall. As with all their properties, dogs are welcome to stay. Breakfast can be served in your room or at Milsoms Dedham, while a courtesy car whisks guests to and from the Talbooth, a half-timbered building with a film set location on the River Stour. In all, the hotel, spa and restaurant make for a winning combination.
