Roy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Does what it says on the tin for the money. Location is tricky - miss the last turn off the main road and it's a long way back! Food was not great - evening meal was basic and 'hot breakfast' was small - no eggs after 8.30! Okay for the price but could be better.

Stay in Colchester

Nice hotel on the outskirts of Colchester with easy access to the town and Ipswich. The room was nice but was very dusty on the curtains behind the chairs and lots of our spider webbing in the corners. Shower was hot and powerful enough and the breakfast was 4 out of 5.
REZA, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a good experience. Breakfast was buffet style with a good choice of cereals if you wanted. Evening meals were well cooked and realistically priced but not served on Sunday. The Crown Inn is within a few minutes walk though. Staff were helpful and readily available during this stay. Rooms are a good size. Evenings were getting cool and manually adjustable radiators are fitted. The Hotel is handily placed for touring south suffolk as well as Essex. Flatford mill being just a few miles into Suffolk is a must see for art lovers! Would definitely book again if I'm in the area.

Hot Breakfast buffet items were ok but food was cold on both days.

It was a lot better than it looked in pictures tbh. Our only issue was our shower, the cold tap did not work so very much a boiling hot shower! We told the staff the next day who wrote it down to have a look.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a great option to split the journey home after a late arrival off the ferry. Staff are amazing. There were not many guests in the bar when I arrived so was very quiet. I would have liked there to be dedicated motorcycle parking.

Nice hotel everything thats needed

Nice hotel, clean, warm welcoming. Location for Colchester excellent Breakfast lovely, tasty and plentiful, cooked or continental on offer. Rooms spacious, warm. Only low point was no daily housekeeping, so had to replenish tea, coffee, milk from breakfast area, not a real problem lots to pick from there.
Nigel, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel entrance is lovely which belies the real state of the decor which is very outdated and carpets, particularly in the hallways really old and smell. Room was fine, fan provided which was welcome. The staff were welcoming, and hardworking. Continental breakfast was a disaster as there was nothing left when we went down at 9am Sunday morning. Not even a toaster . No croissants or yogurt or fruit. Staff were embarrassed but management should ensure there is enough food when breakfast has been paid for in advance. Its a beautiful setting and quiet . Bed was comfy and water hot so lots of positives too.
