"Service, room, food, all wonderful. "

"Great facilities but the room would benefit from better cleaning "

"Great stay perfect place for a nice walk "

"Had a great time here. Had to go to the university for training so did a family trip where I was able to enjoy the beauty of nature, get some fresh air, relax and just unwinds from the busy city life"

"My parents stayed here for a night. Everything was great."

"A truly beautiful venue, in a glorious setting. My ground floor room was spacious and aesthetically pleasing apart from the shower which didn’t drain and lack of hot water even at no peak times. The reception team and restaurant staff were very customer focused and professional. Unfortunately the spa team (apart from Kieran) could do with an attitude adjustment. It’s clear there is tension amongst themselves which shouldn’t be obvious to clients. "

"Nice comfortable hotel an easy walking distance from everything in Colchester. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good quality. I liked the fact that breakfast is 'a la carte', as that reduces wastage. Cleanliness is good and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!"

"The hotel was a lovely period hotel. It was classy but its under refurbishment and the workers started about half 7 and you could hear them."
