The place was quaint, and ideal for somewhere to stay for a few days. It has everything you need for a comfortable getaway. We would return, no problem. Already we are telling our friends about the location and how we enjoyed our stay. It was very clean, and had everything we needed.

    Absolutely fabulous place to stay. Great styling and all the little touches such as the basket of goodies on the breakfast bar made it even better. Faruk is a great host and text us all the info, including pictures of the outside so we knew where to look for the door along the street. Location is fantastic and we will definitely stay again. Fantastic value for money - thank you Faruk!

    A beautiful home with a lovely host. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else while on business in Colchester, unless this place was full. Breakfast was healthy, tasty and very pleasing to look at 🤗❤️🤗 . I have pre-booked for work assignments until Christmas 2023 and look forward to more stays in 2024

    Dee was a great host and nothing was too much effort. The room was very comfortable and I was out like a light, only a short walk from the town centre and a delicious breakfast in the garden with hot food and even a homemade muffin with custard! The bathroom also has a large vanity area to get ready and coming and going from the property was easy even very early morning. Had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend as well as come back myself!
