"Nice room very clean staff pleasant but bar area in need of a bit of love snd attention. Breakfast very good but placement of things s bit odd. Why is the butter with the fresh fruit section and not by the toaster and bread and jams !? Also tea making area very congested and when busy you have to wait a very long time to access the hot water/ coffee machine. "

"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"

"Liked large quiet room, outside seating area, lift, soft carpet, comfortable bed, nice shower. Didn't like poor lighting in bathroom by washbasin and toilet."

"A lovely venerable property with superb pool and spa, and a great restaurant. "

"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!"

"This hotel is definitely on its way up again, we had a lovely stay "

"Amazing stay and an amazing room"
