    Can’t speak highly enough of it. Room lovely with everything we needed and very clean. Lovely touches such is bottles of water, huge selection of different teas. Breakfast was amazing beautifully presented and anything you wanted. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. We booked the first night in to the restaurant and could t believe the meal. If was so good we re booked for our second night. We were all impressed and will definitely return.

    Having accessible plugs on both sides of the very comfy bed rather than one side! The only other niggle was that it was clearly so popular, that you had to book a table :-D

    Staff were particularly nice, both helpful and friendly. Food was abundant and nicely produced. Very conveniently located. Very clean. Stunning tubs and baskets of flowers. Everything felt cared for.

    There was nothing that I did not like about this establishment, especially now that booking.com has fixed the "get directions" to point to the correct Harwich Street.

    The room was amazing with a great shower, variety of teas available, coffee, hot chocolate drinks and a couple of biscuits. It was very welcoming. Exceptionally clean. Very friendly staff and host. We had a lovely dinner and a great breakfast.

    It was a little noisy at night, but then again it was a pub! On Booking.com the description says that it's a mile from Colchester centre. The day before our stay we checked out the place and realised it was 10 miles from Colchester which was very inconvenient. We looked for somewhere else, but at that late stage there was nothing in our price range. In the end we took our bikes and had a really arduous cycle at the end of a long days work. Booking.com please change the mileage to reflect the true distance so that others don't make the same mistake.

    The breakfast was really good! The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much of a problem. Rooms were clean and well equipped.

    Fresh fruit at breakfast, not everyone wants a full English. Hairdryer was a standard one used in hotels usually wall mounted, it was loose in a drawer so had to use it with base hanging on the cable

    Good location, very clean, excellent full English breakfast, helpful staff

    The only tiny nit-pick is that I can't sleep if there is even a hint of light and the curtains, whilst thick, allowed the light in. But honestly, that is more my own fault for forgetting a mask, as I know I am an outlier.

    Everything about the stay was good. It was a one night stopover, but the room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the bathroom big. I had a meal in the evening, which was exceptionally well-battered fish, plus breakfast in the morning with excellent sausage and bacon and absolutely spot-on poached eggs. The staff were friendly and attentive without seeming cloying. They seemed genuinely pleased at providing a good experience. Plenty of space for parking and very close to Colchester town centre.
