Colchester is great for a short weekend trip; it's not a large city, so everything is close by and it's easy to explore Colchester on foot. There are a range of different restaurants and pubs, to suit all needs. Add in places of historical interest such as the castle, and nature such as High Woods Country Park, and there's enough variety to keep busy for a few days. A historical tour is worth doing and the city has a nice relaxed atmosphere to it overall.Guest review byMike ChagouriUnited Kingdom - 10.0

We really enjoyed the Colchester Castle and tour, as well as the historical sites around town , such as the water tower and Balkan Gate. The park was lovely and the Dutch quarter was interesting to see. Nearby, we had a great visit to Frinton where the beach is lovely. Also we travel.ed to Flatford Mill and had a smashing boat trip. It was easy to walk around the town. We ate at Wetherspoons ( The Playhouse) which was a novel venue and Wei's kitchen where the food and the host were great.Guest review byRobertUnited Kingdom - 8.0

Great shopping centre, great for history, locals not really friendly, I travel alot and first time I've ever seen unfriendly locals...it was very strange. We stayed at Grorge Hotel to park at the back of hotel, it tells you at traffic lights you cars can't turn right, hotel said you could, we were worried in case we got a fine, this needs to be clearer, disappointed the museum was closedGuest review byTerri Lee ONEILLUnited Kingdom - 6.0
Colchester doesn't really have a lot going for it.
Colchester doesn't really have a lot going for it. The castle is really worth a visit. There weren't the Roman remains that my husband was hoping for as a lot has been built on. It's very much a working town. But maybe we didn't do enough research to get the best out of it. Bus service is good and saves trying to drive and park through the town.Guest review byAndrinaUnited Kingdom - 6.0

The centre of Colchester is just like many other towns and cities that have had the guts ripped out of them and a new shopping centre built in there place. Same shops but just in a different configuration. Fenwicks is a good shop and the George pub which dates back to 1400 has a lot of history to it. The castle museum and grounds are a must see which takes you back through the history of Colchester and the castle. We found the best place to park was the Brittania long stay car park as it's not multi story with stupid small spaces. You can pay by phone or card in hourly increments just over £1 an hour.Guest review byYorkieBoyUnited Kingdom - 8.0
Colchester city centre is full of quaint little streets.
Colchester city centre is full of quaint little streets. The castle is very interesting as are the Roman remains. It lacks the wow factor of many ancient cities like York but is definitely worth a visit. It is also well located for visiting Mersea Island and other locations like Flatford Mill. For those who like sewing and knitting, Franklins is a shop of delights.Guest review byFrancesUnited Kingdom

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 5 reviewsThe apartment was very spacious and very clean. Can not fault the place. The host was in contact right up to and after we stayed. The area was right by the river and was so peaceful, especially after a busy day in the town centre. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in staying in Colchester, and I would definitely go back in the future.Guest review byJadeUnited Kingdom
