This was quite a pleasant experience on the whole, without going into too much detail on the condition of the toilets. I had the Venison pie which was on the specials board, very good if a little too highly seasoned. The beer was also commendable. Go back again, not sure.

We stayed here for the weekend whilst visiting friends, a superb location in the heart of Constable country, staff were so friendly and helpful! The food was delicious, freshly cooked and generous portions! The log fires really created an incredible atmosphere! Will definately be booking here again!

Stayed here with my partner at the weekend, had a lovely time. We were greeted on arrival with a friendly warm atmosphere. Throughly enjoyed our meal and the live music on the Saturday evening. Good value for money in what can be a very expensive place to stay!

we ate here with friends before going for a row along the river. This Olde Worlde inn has a number of bars to choose from. Between the four of us we had three different meals, an impressive ploughmans, a broccoli & cream cheese bake, and cod & chips. The food was really fresh, the portions large, and every plate was...

Stopped there for a special birthday, really nice hotel. Had a lovely couple of days, loved the short walk to the river and the food was really nice in the restaurant downstairs. Would stay there again

I recently stay there for three nights, and I couldn't find fault with the hotel. The staff were friendly and chatty, the rooms were elegant and clean, the food was varied and well portioned, even the locals seemed welcoming. Afternoon walks in the idyllic counstable country, followed by some good food, then a few pints before bedtime, what more could... More

Apart from a drape over the bed to give the impression of a four poster this was a £30 per night contractors digs room, we paid £90 room only, dreadful value. We also, foolishly, met friends there for lunch on the Sunday, canteen food at restauraunt prices. The only veggie option was vegetable sausage loaf which came with beef gravy.... More

A nice warm welcome, and good character pub right in the centre of Dedham. We booked the 4 poster room, which was fine (albeit it had only had a cursory vacuum), but the bathroom was pokey and basic (although of course there are limitations on what can be done with such an old property). £100 room only isn't good value...
