We stayed in the large Shakespeare room, often used as a Bridal Suite. The spa is great, with a good sized pool, a jacuzzi and unusual sauna. Really good breakfasts served in bedrooms and at the nearby sister-hotel Milsoms. The fine dining at the main restaurant on the nearby River Stour was sublime, with exquisite food, terrific service, a knowledgeable sommelier and wonderful ambience at tables outside under large parasols.

B U T the place needs more staff, there was only one person who was front of house at any time - managing the bar, driving the shuttle to / from the restaurant. It shows - the carpets on the stairs were not hoovered and the place is a bit sadder for it. ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant service, very good stay Fabulous service, couldn’t fault that. A few suggestions, for £27.50 pp I would expect breakfast to be cooked freshly, it was very lukewarm from the hot plates. A small point but the room key attachment being a silicon spoon made no sense or representation to the brand? The staircase carpet was quite dirty on arrival. You can see the building being a bit jaded in parts. The patio area on Tennyson was hugely uninspiringWe did have a very nice stay 4\* rather than 5\* which we had hoped for, sorry. Once again though the service was outstanding from reception to the spa to Milsoms. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennie 24 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Superb. ##### Jennie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca 17 May 2025 ##### Rebecca Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 19 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### James Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon 21 Jul 2024 ##### Simon Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### David Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marta 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Marta Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally 21 Apr 2024 ##### Sally Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Colchester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Colchester.h19417.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Drapers Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Drapers-Hotel.h22454758.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Stoke-By-Nayland-Hotel.h807924.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Blue Anchor Feering](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-The-Blue-Anchor-Feering.h11537135.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown Stoke By Nayland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-The-Crown-Stoke-By-Nayland.h3697573.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [The Essex Golf and Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Essex-Golf-Country-Club.h1605688.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information)
