Inspiration
Background: With 70 years of history, the
family-owned and run Milsom Hotel &
Restaurant group aims to be the first
choice for eating, drinking and staying in
the Essex and Suffolk area. To ensure an
optimum experience for its customers, its
ethos is to ensure consistent quality and
to keep looking forward. Talbooth House
& Spa has recently been rebranded and
developed to be a spa-led facility, aiming
to be the ‘number one place to step back,
relax and indulge in Constable Country’.
The main hotel building dates from the
mid-nineteenth century and is a classic
Victorian design, with each bedroom
named after an English poet. The modern
spa and pool area present an oasis of
tranquillity, with treatments tailored and
delivered in an extremely calm, relaxed
and comfortable environment.
Solution: The decked pool area is flanked on
two sides by classic teak Capri Loungers
– Base, which are designed to be static.
Each lounger has a full-length cushion in
water-repellent Charcoal Sunbrella®
fabric and each pair of loungers share a
Colchester Low Table 54. The informal
poolside dining area is furnished with
Equinox Chairs and Tables 100, made using
316 marine-grade stainless steel. The tables
have teak tops, and the chairs have shaped
backs and seats in teak. The teak brings
warmth and softness to the contemporary
stainless steel with horizontal lines in the
loungers and dining furniture that echo
the horizontal styling that is evident in
the decking and pool house frontage.
Tucked neatly into the pool house is a
snug with a wood-burning fire and
blankets. Equinox Occasional Armchairs
and a Three-seater Settee with 316
marine-grade stainless steel, teak arms
and Charcoal Sunbrella® cushions
surround an Equinox Low Table 100,
providing a modern, cosy seating area.
