Holiday Cottages in Dedham
Although one of our most popular locations at Idyllic Cottages, Dedham actually falls within the City borough of Colchester and is technically a part of Essex, rather than Suffolk.
Located on the border between the two counties, Dedham is often regarded as the epitome of East Anglian countryside, with residents and visitors alike enjoying the tranquillity of the River Stour and the diversity in wildlife that stems from the water meadows and rolling hills.
But what is there to do in Dedham, which Dedham holiday cottages are worth visiting, and is it somewhere your whole family will enjoy?

An Introduction to Dedham
You’ll struggle to find a description of Dedham that doesn’t allude to its beautiful scenery or pretty shopfronts. From the pastel colours of the high street to the unrivalled selection of coffee shops and pubs that firmly solidify Dedham’s position as a British destination, this village may be small, but it is anything but boring.
Of course, all this considers Dedham as its own contained village. But what makes Dedham really impressive is its surrounding green space – referred to as the Dedham Vale.
Granted AONB status, the Dedham Vale is recognised as Constable Country – made famous by artist John Constable who used the Vale as a backdrop to his most notable works. Not only that, but Dedham is packed with history. The Munnings Art Museum, Flatford Mill, Willy Lott’s House, and the extraordinary Dedham Boating Club all make for immersive days out – unlocking the very best of Dedham as a place to visit.
Experiencing the Best of Dedham
With so much to do on the doorstep of your Dedham cottage, visitors will find no shortage of places to eat, pubs in which to drink, and sites to wander around and explore. Another reason behind Dedham’s popularity is its proximity to local footpaths which run in and out of the village, making it a particularly prominent place to visit in the Spring and Summer.
Visitors of all ages should look into hiring a boat from the Dedham Boating Club at some point during their trip and should take the time to visit Flatford Mill – and notably, the small museum dedicated to the life and works of John Constable. Learning more about what made Dedham famous will only deepen your appreciation for the landscape and the artistic prowess of Constable.
Immerse Yourself in the Dedham Countryside
Of course, when it comes to visiting Dedham, the only way to really immerse yourself in local culture and enjoy those pubs and day-long walks is to have a home to return to.
