1 / 8milsoms
Dedham, Essex
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A contemporary brasserie with fifteen bedrooms above it in Dedham, in the heart of the Dedham Vale, where dogs can stay and dine with you.
Milsoms is a bar and brasserie first, with fifteen bedrooms above it, set in terraced gardens in the heart of the Dedham Vale. The restaurant runs all day, every day, with no need to book a table, and because this is a dog friendly hotel your dog sits in the restaurant with you.
Dogs go in selected rooms only, so the room type is the thing to confirm. The fifteen bedrooms come as Standard, Deluxe and Superior and vary in size, and the hotel carries four AA stars. Whether there is a limit on numbers, a rule about size, or any question of leaving one unattended, the hotel doesn't state, so cover it at the same time.
You order in a way that is relaxed to the point of a notepad and pencil on the table: write down what you want, take it to the bar, and a member of the team places it with the kitchen. The downstairs restaurant holds one AA rosette, your dog can be under the table while you use it, and the terrace outside is wrapped in an architectural sail and fully heated.
Canoe, paddle board and bike hire can all be arranged, which is one way to take in the Dedham Vale AONB. The walking is the dog's part of it: the river and the Essex Way make this a walker's part of East Anglia, Wildpack lists Dedham Vale AONB Circular from Stratford St Mary 0.7 miles away, and Brightlingsea Beach, the nearest beach we list, is 10.8 miles off.
