    Great instructions on how to find it and how to access property. The most beautiful quaint quiet location. No cars, no noise, no one walking past the property. Beautiful property, very clean and loved the finishing touches of brick work, beautiful windows and stable door. Lovely walks near by around the Estate and beyond. Best nights sleep! Lovely to sit outside in the garden area which is huge and read. Bliss. Also loved the fact two bedrooms at different ends with kitchen, then dining area and lounge in between them, plus both had en suites.

    This hotel is a great location if you’re visiting Colchester and don’t want to be in the heart of the city. It’s quiet considering it’s by the main roads, comfortable and equipped for a good stay. Big comfortable bed!

    This is a charming old property in the heart of Colchester that has been sympathetically converted. Our rooms were quirky but comfortable. The venue is quiet and peaceful, with parking on site though the entrance is narrow!

    Great location, central but quiet, a 5 minute walk to the town centre. No on-street parking but very cheap long-stay car park in walking distance. Justine and Mounir are super friendly hosts and we loved having a chat. It was nice to meet Captain the parrot, too! You can see the TLC they put into their house, it's very small but very cute. It was nice to have Netflix in our room on a nice large TV to relax after a busy day!
