Maison Talbooth - Colchester

We were blessed with sunny weather that enabled us to enjoy the fantastic swimming pool and spa facilities in the hotel. we loved our stay from the moment we arrived until we were gone. the room was in the ground floor with doors on a private. terrace that made it easier to pop up our little dog for a walk and was beautifully decorated {masefield} and had a generous selection of free drinks and snacks, dyson fan and sky T.V the personal was very friendly and over our dog vain, mary anne, lurking sarah very helpful. we had dinner and breakfast in the adjacent restaurant milsoms a short drive away eating and presentation excellent. would recommend.

We stayed for 3 nights here in a ground floor room. The hotel is well kept and has a lovely setting, and very peaceful. The grounds are well cared for, and everything was kept clean whilst we were there. Rooms are spacious and well equipped... note there is no air conditioning in the room which in the high temperatures of summer can be uncomfortable. We were provided with a fan for our room) The staff here are very welcoming and excellent ambassadors for the company, nothing was too much trouble. The food at both restaurants was very good, in fact superb to be honest, and would recommend a stay here to include dining at both Milsoms and Le Talbooth. Transfers to and from the restaurants was rapid without any real waiting around. There is no bar facility so bring your own nightcap! Or enjoy one before returning home. It feels a very safe place to rest and rejuvenate. Swimming pool was a treat with lunch delivered and again very tasty. We enjoyed both the room service continental breakfast and the traditional menu at Milsoms, both excellent quality. A few minor details were disappointing for me personally which I intend to take up with the hotel directly, and are only constructive to make this place even more enjoyable, but to be frank they wouldn’t prevent myself or my lovely wife from staying here again. We read so many complaints on trip advisor about all sorts of small issues which could easily be resolved directly with the hotel, and yet many use this platform in a biased way, with the hotel not able to respond and rectify. We are confident that you will have a very pleasant experience here and no doubt be well looked after, and more importantly, will recommend and return. Very pleasant few days. Thank you Milsom family.

We spent a night at the Maison Talbooth and dined at Le Talbooth restaurant as a celebration of all our birthdays this year. The accomodation was palatial, the dinner beautifully prepared and presented particularly the Chateaubriand -and we even greeted the new day with...an early morning game on the tennis court. The staff were all very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly return.

Our first stay at Maison Talbooth but a repeat visit to the wonderful LeTalbooth restaurant. Although we are living in strange times with the hospitality industry so stiffled the teams made us feel so welcome. Our room was comfortable and spacious with amazing views. Dinner...was incredible as always with most superb food and wine, particularly the Cote de Beouf! We rounded off our stay with our spa treatments, excellent massage and a really love team in the spa. Would absolutely return for 24 hours of total relaxation and indulgence.

All the staff were great as were the accommodation and superb dinner at the Talbooth plus very good breakfast at Milsoms.
