Top Flatford Mill Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Colchester by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean rooms, very helpful staff and really good breakfast. Great value and just what we needed for a trip to the local area for a family birthday. 12 of us stayed in total and all agreed"

Milsoms

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was spotlessly clean and tidy. Breakfast was excellent too. Will definitely return, thanks for making our stay so enjoyable."

The Marlborough Dedham

10/10 Excellent

The Tallow Factory - Historic Tudor Home in Dedham

10/10 Excellent

"The Tallow factory was just perfect for our family stay in Dedham..Nicely located just off Dedham high street and next to a recommended pub. The cottage has excellent facilities, well equipped kitchen and spacious garden in which to relax.A special mention also for the extremely comfy beds. I can definitely recommend."

Talbooth House & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful setting, very helpful staff, lovely hotel excellent restaurant."

Barn conversion with private pool - Yew Tree Barn

10/10 Excellent

"A truly exceptional stay. Yew Tree Barn is a very special place — full of character, charm and the feeling of a much-loved home rather than just a holiday cottage. Beautifully presented, peaceful and set in wonderful Suffolk countryside. The attention to detail and care from both the owners and Idyllic Cottages made our stay perfect. We have stayed in many places over the years, but this is honestly one of the best. We are already looking forward to returning. A very special hidden gem (although we almost want to keep it our secret!)."

A fairy-tale luxurious cottage - The Tea Caddy

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at Tea Caddy Cottage. It is a lovely setting and a garden with dotted about benches outside to sit in or out of the sun. The downstairs bedroom was wonderfully cool in the hot weather. I even used the duvet at night - unheard of at home in a heatwave. Lots of nice large glasses both for wine and long cold drinks to use and plenty of crockery and cutlery. I didn't do a lot of cooking, but I found everything I needed when I did. The knives were sharp as well which I much appreciate. The bathrooms were a treat to be in with and having two was great. Being able to take our bikes and have a secure storage area to keep it in was very welcome. I really appreciated the well-presented Welcome folder with all its information easily found and clear. The countryside and places around the Suffolk/Essex border were really interesting and so much less bus than our normal environment so making for a relaxing holiday."

3 bedroom accommodation in Tattingstone, near Ipswich

8/10 Good

"Nice and quiet, lovely outlook. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms throughout."

1 bedroom accommodation in Ardleigh Heath, near Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Glass House. A much appreciated welcome pack was waiting on our arrival. The location was good, only down side was the access through the garden to the entrance. The view of the alpacas in the paddock outside was a delight to wake up to. Overall a relaxing and enjoyable long weekend."
