Colchester Hotel Guide - Luxury Hotels in Colchester, United Kingdom

A lovely quiet place, friedly personal, familliar athmosphere, very tastefully designet rooms

Lovely lovely one night stay in this beautiful bed and breakfast. Very warm welcoming, very comfortable stay and a delicious breakfast!

We stayed in the Lodge, rather than in the main hotel, so it felt comfortable and relaxed, rather like staying with friends. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and furnished in a style that suited the building. Breakfast in the Garden Room was a gentle start to the day, with plenty to choose from. After a ten minute stroll to Ickworth House you have the rest of the day to explore the house and extensive grounds and gardens. The service in the hotel's restaurants was quick and friendly, though the menu didn't have a lot of choice for people who don't like seafood. This is a National Trust property, so the house tours, gift shop and café were up to their usual high standard.

Loved every second. Perfect for couples get away 😎

Everything you needed for an overnight stay was provided.

Loved having our own space in the grounds. Tasteful decor, cleanliness excellent. Staff friendly and welcoming nothing too much trouble. Really helped whilst settling my daughter into uni. Thank you so much Anne

Nothing but praise praise for this hotel. I stay in a LOT of hotels - 40 years of constant global business travel - and this is definitely one of the best! Cool design, great touches - the 50 ft high glass tower wine "cellar" in the atrium is amazing...especially when you see the young lady somnelier going up and down hanging from wires to retrieve bottles of wine! A hotel of this standard is wasted at Stansted Airport - I'm guessing almost everyone just stays one night as it's a transit hotel.

I was pleasantly surprised at this hotel after reading some of the reviews. I presume that it has been recently refurbished as the reception was modern and my room was immaculate. The highlight of my stay was the visit to the gym and spa. Some of the best equipment I have seen in the gym and fantastic spa facilities with a lovely large clean pool. The staff still seem to be getting to grips with the changes as I was directed to the gym via a route where I had to climb a glass barrier and I was given the code for the men's changing rooms rather than the women's! There were also some issues with the card machine and printing my bill the next morning, but it all got resolved in the end. I'm sure that in the future these problems with be resolved and I would definitely stay again.

Great hotel, location and staff. Parking although free was on a first come basis and limited. Great room only surprise was there was no airconditioning and safe, other than that no complaints

They adopted us like family. They were fun to be with and extremely helpful with all our needs. The building is old and lacks a lift. So navigating the narrow steep stairs can be be difficult. But the bartender was more than helpful carrying our luggage up. The town centre is a short walk and well worth seeing. It is the site where the Mayflower launched with the Pilgrims for America. And Blossom the cook makes incredible meals at a modest price.
