We stayed here for our first wedding anniversary, as we had actually met in the bar over 6 years ago when we lived in Colchester :-) We had a wonderful four-poster room, which had a great jacuzzi bath and large seperate shower, all decorated really beautifully, and so in keeping with the age of the building (we were in the...

we stayed in the old part of the building above the bar which was actually not as noisy as we thought it might be but we were there during the week. The room was fantastic and really authentic down to the gaps between the wooden beams and the wall! they were so small though that it did not matter. What... More

This hotel is a Fabulous Find :) Stayed here for just one night ... wish it could've been more.

My husband and i had our wedding reception here and what can i say - everything was perfect - nothing was too much trouble for the staff. After reading some of the reviews we were a bit concerned but no - all was brilliant. Our four poster spa room was to die for - oldie and quirky and full of... More
