Great location in a central location in the village yet a quiet cul-de-sac. Tastefully decorated with style.

Lovely house with all amenities you could ask for. Prettily decorated. Great to have parking and a central location. Shame there isnt a double bed inthe room with the en-suite but I can see it would be difficult to fit in.

A lovely cottage that suited our needs well during a stay to visit extended family members in the area. We had three generations in our family group and all were happy with the accommodation and facilities. Dedham is a lovely village and my husband's family lived there in previous centuries, which was an added point of interest. Bakers Cottage willRead more definitely be on our shortlist for future visits to the area. Hide

An immaculate property, well looked after with excellent facilites. Situated in the centre of Dedham but with that rural feel made it ideal for local shopping and eating out. Really nice countryside and a very nice walk to Flatford Mill alongside the River Stour. There is only one allocated parking spot but other parking available in the village. DRead moreog owners need to be aware that the property is not dog secure. However, I would have no hesitation in staying at the property again. Hide

We have just had an excellent week at the cottage. Very well equipped with everything, lovely fluffy towels and comfortable beds. The property is so central in Dedham, short walk to the pubs and shops and nice caf for breakfast at the top of the lane. Nice walks within easy reach of the cottage to the river and Flatford Mill. We had 2 cars between Read moreus and parked in the designated spot at the side and in the arch with no problem. Nice sunny garden area to enjoy for lunch or a drink. Hide
