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.

Check in was easy, arrived and the staff were very friendly and engaging, got shown the room which was beautifully presented.
Had dinner, the food was delicious, service was excellent , we had a few drinks and went to bed, had a fabulous nights sleep in a very comfy bed.
Had breakfast (which was included) and I couldn’t fault it at all, all in all, had a wonderful stay and would very highly recommend.

Charming building from the 15th century, with features preserved. The staff were accommodating and friendly. Food was excellent, with superb local ales! Plus, it’s dog friendly and ample parking for residents. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.

Very Nice accomodation. Slightly Overprice for what was offered. Dinner was good, but Breakfast was a bit mundane.
