The hotel was clean the staff were very friendly there was an air of calmness around the hotel which you don`t seem to get in a lot of hotels we frequent when travelling for work, well done and we will definitely use this hotel again.

Nothing really it was an enjoyable experience the only downside was the restaurant closed at 9pm and we only arrived at 8.45 so missed the opportunity to use the restaurant.

Very friendly , welcoming staff and so helpful. Quiet place. Clean room.

The carpets have spots. The bed as uncomfortable. Vegetarian breakfast was on request and takes 20 min to make which was a long time, so maybe ask the day before or have some prepared anyway.

Situated on the A12 just outside of Colchester.We stayed here as it was a short ride from our daughter's Colchester Zoo and on the route to Braintree Shopping Village.

The staff were friendly and the hotel was nice. Would recommend and would stay again. Nice spacious place. Good breakfast. Good location to get to Clacton.

It was tucked away and hard to find. There needs to be better signs on the road so people can see them. There’s a small sign but that’s all I could eventually see. I had to ring to ask where it was situated. The rooms are nice but the beds need changing. They’re uncomfortable as could feel the springs and also every time my partner moved I feel like I was being shaken around. Apart from the beds the rooms are perfect.

The quietness of the hotel when so close to a main road. The quality of the food was unbelievable.

There was nothing not to like. It was the most pleasant stay.
