I was glad that our stay was only one night as I would not be staying there again. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin 7 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Amazing night at the hotel. We loved it and the dogs loved it. Great staff and Elaine was a star. The breakfast buffet is the best I've had. We'll all be back. ##### Justin Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### JOHN 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was in the ideal location for our visit to Colchester and surrounding area that we were visiting. ##### JOHN Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities A little tired around the edges but basically a decent hotel and we had good overnight stay. Full marks to the front desk staff who kept smiling and remained professional when a guest checking out before us was overbearing and very rude. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lana bodie 15 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely stay and enjoyed the pool.

Conveniently placed just off the A12 the staff were welcoming; pool and spa very good as was the food both for dinner and generous breakfast. Gluten free provision was excellent too. Top marks all round. ##### Tony Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa 6 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great for a pre / post zoo stopover Convenient location for a visit to Colchester Zoo. Clean and tidy hotel but showing age in some areas (some dirty spots on the carpet, few patches of damp in the bathroom). Plentiful breakfast - everything was fresh and tasty. Small, clean pool but fine as it didn’t get too busy while we were there. Friendly and helpful staff at pool / reception / breakfast. ##### Teresa Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hayley 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort Everything was excellent apart from the sofa bed.
