Property was reasonably priced, with helpful staff and ideal location close to the motorway. We were in the double room with an iron, an electronic key card and a work desk. The bedroom was double, and the bed was comfortable. The service in the property was very good.

Imposing and spotless place with exceptionally attentive staff. Appetisers and pizza were served in the Irish bar. And it also had captivating view. The staff created a warm atmosphere. Early check-in and accommodating service.

Staff was willing to help, everyone so diligent. Room was warm and cosy. Its location was brilliant, near the motorway and Colchester and a lake. Relaxed by the pool, it was brilliant, especially when the weather was really warm.

The views were not very nice.
