    It’s our second time staying at Bumblebee. I think that says it all. It’s a lovely cottage and is perfect for our trips to Colchester. Bumblebee is comfortable, in a quiet Cul de Sac but in the perfect location for visiting family. Would highly...

    Sessiz sakin bir sokakta, güzel bir bahçeye sahip rahat bir evdi. Evsahipleri mükemmeldi, her sorumuza kısa sürede yanıt verdiler ve oldukça yardımcı oldular. Tekrar konaklamayı düşüneceğimiz bir tesis.

Property information

🐝 Bumblebee bungalow 🐝 is a beautiful modern 2 bedroom bungalow sitting south of Colchester center. A lovely spacious 2 bedroom bungalow with separate dedicated work / chill space in the outbuilding including Xbox one and smart tv. The bungalow provides a subtle nod to our wonderful bee friends who we couldn't survive without! With only a 15 minute walk into town allows you to access everything Colchester has to offer. From its lovely pedestrianised shopping areas, to an array of restaurants and more. When reaching town you have access to Colchester Town station which provides routes to surrounding areas. We personally have a close affinity with Colchester having met at the university in our first few days and its crazy to look back and think that Colchester played such a big part in our lives as a married couple today. We have absolutely fell in love with the area, the history it has, and therefore knew it was an area we would want to have an apartment that provided others with the opportunity to explore. Colchester has such a great history to it being the oldest town in England. You can visit the castle, St Boltophs Priory or see the Roman wall surrounding the town, all of which provide activities for adults and kids. If you are wanting to explore a little further afield you can go to Colchester zoo, or visit many of the local beaches in Mersea Island, Holland on Sea, The beautiful village of Wivenhoe or a bit further a field the lovely Frinton on Sea.
