    The cozy room was well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, and even an iron, making our stay super convenient. We loved that the check-in was hassle-free with a code sent right to our phone. Everything was spotless, and we had a comfy sleep on the crisp sheets.

    Felt good, nothing to complain about.

    The family room was surprisingly spacious with a fridge stocked with drinks, which was a lovely perk after a day out. We really enjoyed lounging by the cozy fireplace and having some fun in the games room. The only thing to note is that the bathroom could’ve used a bit more attention to detail, but it didn't spoil our great experience. 😊

    The room was small but had enough space for a desk, and the bathroom had plenty of room. I loved having a fridge and microwave in the room, made it feel more like home, right?

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but worth every penny!

    A fantastic stay with excellent amenities including a microwave and a mini fridge. The location was perfect, close to the train station, making transport hassle-free. The cleanliness of the bathroom stood out positively, but the overall price for the double room felt slightly high compared to similar accommodations. while communication was good, a more extensive dining menu could enhance the experience.

    During my brief stay, the room offered great amenities and excellent communication from the owner. The location near Colchester city centre provided easy access to attractions, but the plumbing was a tad noisy. a pleasant experience that suits many tastes.

    We had a lovely stay at this lodge. The room was spacious and clean, providing all the comforts of home. The self-check-in process was straightforward, and the kids appreciated having their own space to relax.

    My wife says that better lighting around the mirrors would enhance the experience.

    comfortable stay with room for improvement

    The bed offered a great night’s sleep, which is essential after a long day. The small fridge and microwave provided added convenience for late-night snacks.

    The view was nice but could benefit from better window treatments for privacy.

    Tiny but efficiently laid out room with a comfortable double bed. Ample amenities like a small fridge, microwave, and an assortment of pillows ensured a snug experience.

    Sound insulation leaves much to be desired. I could hear every step and conversation from the hallway as if they were in the room with me. Room cleanliness seemed rushed—corners appeared neglected and surfaces lacked thorough attention. the layout squeezed storage to the bare minimum, with limited space available for luggage, making it tricky to navigate around the room comfortably. The location, while on the city fringes, presented a challenging walk to downtown during peak hours, which may not suit everyone’s convenience.
