Just another Essex city. Not much to do or visit. Plenty of McDonald's junk everywhere around the city though. They must really like this fast food there.

I was visiting my niece who is attending the University of Essex, and my visit was short, so didn't get to see as much of the area as I would have liked. It was a easy trip from train station to the University by bus. Also from bus to the main shopping area/dining area in Colchester. Would come back to spend a bit more time to see more local historical sites.

My daughter lives here. It is built on a hill with a church at the top and a river and antique centre at the bottom. It is an old market town with nice old building along the high street. It is unusual to have a hill in Essex. Well worth a visit.

It is me again Trevor for Visitors coming to Southend on sea Essex, I think when people go to a sea side resort in the england, they need to find a Fish and chip shop take away or eat in maybe having travelled a long distance because of so very much to see and do. When people have children they need some food to keep going, there is what is known as Adventure Iland lots of rides near to the pier and close to the High Street. Trevor living 7 years now here

The Essex Riviera cannot be beaten when the sun is shining.
The Essex Riviera cannot be beaten when the sun is shining. There are beautiful walks all the way along the shoreline from Thorpe Bay all the way to Leigh on Sea. Plenty to see and do which is either relaxing or more strenuous depending on your mood plus exciting adventures at the funfair. So much to see and do for all the family.

From $204 per night
We walked to the hotel on a hot day through lovely Essex scenery and arrived with backpacks and glowing from the heat. Reception was efficient and responsive. Covid policies were well monitored. Room was lovely, looking over the lake. Facilities were a little restricted (as we would expect in the current environment) and the pool and spa area was regularly cleaned and looked after. The swim after the walk, was bliss. Grounds are exceptionally leafy and interesting. Breakfast was good and set us up for a further ramble.
Graham United Kingdom -
From $125 per night
The area is beautiful and the grounds and buildings are very well kept. Staff on reception and in the spa were helpful and friendly, and we had the spa to ourselves! The bed was super comfy and we loved the shower, and the room was very clean and well stocked. We would recommend Orsett Hall to anyone visiting London/Essex and would love to come back! Staff and owners should be proud - clearly a lot of care and love has gone into rebuilding the entire place. Thank you for a lovely stay
Molly United Kingdom -
From $83 per night
I found the staff at the hotel to be really friendly and efficient. I'd recommend this hotel purely for this reason. Location was acceptable, plenty of food outlets close by. Rooms were acceptable given price paid. There was an issue with my booking - I'd booked 2 rooms, but only one was reserved on arrival. This was sorted out quickly with no fuss when I arrived. If I have another wedding to go to in Essex, I'll book here again. Thanks

The George Hotel
Colchester
From $87 per nightWe were attending our son's graduation at Essex University so this hotel was a great location. We enjoyed a few drinks in the bar the night before & were well rested & relaxed ready for the big day. Lovely place, friendly staff. Lots of history as it's a very old building....Colchester itself is steeped in history & architecture so a beautiful place to visit generally.
Lady Loopy United Kingdom -
From $163 per night
The outside space is good for dining under the current circumstances of social distancing and usually the internal restaurant and bar are good (under normal circumstances). Access to the A12 and areas around the Essex/Sufolk borders is excellent too. The breakfast was excellent but didn't arrive as expected...all together for us both.
