Lovely old property, does show some signs of wear and tear which is understandable. Good car parking facilities. There was no food available when we stayed,(except breakfast which was good) but there are many good restaurants in the area. A pleasant stay.

Lovely and pretty well-kept property. The staff were fantastic and the ambience was delightful. I was surprised at how modern the room was, but it was in one of the more modern wings.

I loved the rustic look and feel of the hotel. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was modern with a rain shower. It is just a short wark to the town centre, which is a bonus. If I am back to Colchester I would definitely stay there again.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very friendly welcome and after that the staff were always smiling and helpful. The room was lovely, looking out onto the courtyard, and clean. The radiator in the bathroom wasn't working (we were offered a different room but declined as we'd already unpacked) and handrails in the bath would have been helpful but we managed. They are clearly gearing up for Christmas and the tree in reception was beautifully decorated. The hotel itself is 14th-century, quirky and full of character and history, just as we like it, so we had a very happy stay and plan to return one day.
