Discover 12 individually designed bedrooms for the perfect night's sleep

A luxury country house hotel in Essex

Set back and beyond the gravel driveway, Maison Talbooth is a 4 AA Red Star hotel looking out across Constable’s Countryside and the Dedham Vale.

The hotel has twelve individually designed bedrooms, each different in style, decor and character. All named after English poets from Shakespeare and Keats to Newbolt and Betjeman; and there’s a copy of each poets most famous poem framed in each room. The hotel lends itself to a short break for a night or two, in fact the Dedham Vale was recently mentioned in the Telegraph as one of the top places for a ‘cheeky weekend’.

On arrival you’ll be greeted with a friendly welcome. Through the front door, the light and relaxed lounge will lead you through to the Garden Room, which opens fully to the outdoor terrace.

If you would like a little more activity, we have an excellent tennis court that overlooks the pool and the fantastic countryside views. The Maison team can also arrange canoe, paddle board or bike hire, an excellent way to explore the Dedham Vale.  The hotel is dog friendly with many interesting and varied walks on the doorstep.

Continental breakfast can be served in your room, which is in fact a throwback to earlier times – for 40 years this was how breakfast was served to our guests. alternatively pop down to Milsoms (5 minutes on foot or we can take you in the courtesy car) if you prefer a full breakfast.

For dinner and definitely a highlight of a stay in Dedham is Le Talbooth, with 3 AA rosettes, is our riverside restaurant serving outstanding food with outstanding service just a few minutes away in our courtesy car. Milsoms is closely located, open all day for dining with 1 AA rosette, and has a more informal menu within a contemporary interior.

Please note: The Pool area will be closed from Monday 1st November while we build an exciting new addition to the day spa.  This new facility will open in Spring 2022.  The Spa in the main house will remain open for individual treatments during this time.

EXCITING NEWS

We have been given planning permission to move the Spa to the Pool House; this is really exciting news for the hotel.  Work starts at the end of October, which means that the outdoor pool, hot tub and pool house will be closed during the building works.  We plan to open the new spa (more news later) in the Spring.

The Treatment Rooms

The Treatment Rooms (spa) at Maison Talbooth are quiet, relaxed, discreet and ideal for individual midweek treatments or a visit with friends at the weekend.

Maison Talbooth is located along the leafy Stratford Road of Colchester and parking is easy on the gravel drive. If you arrive in good time, you can kick back in the lounge and flick through any number of magazines or the daily papers – enjoying a refreshing drink, snack or perhaps a glass of champagne.

You’ll be welcomed on arrival by our reception team who will introduce you to your therapist before heading to the first-floor treatment rooms.

We have three treatment rooms, two of which are twinned in case you’re visiting with a friend or partner. Elemis is the main brand of products we use, along with OPI for those all-important manicures and pedicures.
