Wivenhoe House Hotel
Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, CO4 3SQ, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map
All of it.. I feel like I live in a mansion! Very clean, old-fashioned but posh, the food was excellent! We booked the suite and the room was huge, we even had our living room section, the bathroom was so clean as well. Very near the Uni of Essex, 3 mins walk and I assure you that if you want to really rest your body & mind, this is the place.
