Colchester

We arrived for an afternoon tea on 17th April, the hotel being easily accessible  and just round the corner from the High Street in the city. We were greeted by James and Daniel and looked after extremely well. First to arrives was the fizz. Then, after few minutes, a filling selection of sandwiches, cakes and scones, all very fresh and well presented, were delivered to the table with panache by Daniel. This was all rounded off with a tea and a coffee. We have to say this was the best afternoon tea we have had in Colchester. A very enjoyable visit. Well done.

Good location for an enjoyable afternoon tea

The good points first. The shower room was very well designed and the breakfast was really nice. A good selection of food including fruit, cold meats, cheese. Also fresh coffee.
Not so good was the room. We were in what the man in Reception told us was the only twin room (I was staying with a friend). The room was out the back at the end of a sort of kitchen one storey extension. It was tiny and not our idea of boutique - unless you're thinking of those shops that call themselves boutique but just sell lots of cheap clothes that fall apart when you wear them. The beds were lumpy to put it mildly. They didn't have full covers but just squares of some protective fabric that was ridged around the outside so not very comfy - the sort of thing you might put on a child's bed in case of accidents maybe. My bed had a large flat piece of wood between the mattress and the box bedstead. We didn't know why, maybe the bedstead was damaged? The mattresses were dreadful. Honestly. I don't usually write a review if its bad as I don't like to affect someone's business, but in this case I decided to.  When we asked the man in Reception where the 'Boutique' was in this experience, he said that it was in the main house. I have checked on the site and it says 'The entire unit located on ground floor'. This does not tell you that it is not in the main hotel - where the rooms may be very nice, I don't know. They look OK in the photos. Point is, even if this room was not meant to be up to the standard possibly of the others, it showed very little care or attention to any sort of detail. PS whoever screwed the bedheads to the wall, the one on the left is crooked. Maybe a spirit level would help? We would have been happy with an adequate room. We weren't expecting anything out of the ordinary really. But this room was not adequate, and first rule of any hotel, make sure your beds are halfway comfortable.

Boutique? Adequate would have done us.

Nice hotel in a great location. Room was comfy but not as clean as it should have been and the hotel needs a little maintenance but still a nice place to stay.  The staff were welcoming. Watch out for the narrow access to the car park... limited amount of parking at rear.

Nice hotel good location

Highly recommend. Stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed a good nights sleep in a very comfortable bed. The room was spotless, and the bathroom was cleaned daily . Fresh water was provided daily throughout our stay.
The continental breakfast had something for everyone, so much choice. Can highly recommend the scrambled egg. 
The staff were lovely from the moment you arrived.
Look forward to our next visit.

Highly recommended

My partner and I had afternoon tea here for my birthday. We were greeted at this lovely Grade II listed building by Daniel who was really friendly and welcoming. 
The afternoon tea was really tasty; the sandwiches were made to order as my partner is allergic to nuts and doesn’t eat any seafood! (unfortunately for me :(). They were, nevertheless, still very tasty and fresh (we have had afternoon teas elsewhere where the bread has been dry at the edges!). The scone, jam and cream and the mini dessert/cakes were also really tasty and dainty, along with the Prosecco :-). We had tea to follow. 
The added bonus of the car park to the rear (in the centre of Colchester) was a godsend considering we had some rain and hail!
All in all a really good experience and a lovely friendly host :)

Tasty afternoon tea and a lovely host in a beautiful Grade II listed building

Mi marido nos hizo la reserva a mi hija y a mi y quedamos encantadas. El hotel boutique se encuentra en el centro de Colchester, próximo al castle park. El estilo del hotel me pareció muy cálido a la vez que adorable, como de cuento. Llegamos de noche y Roland, el host del hotel nos recibió amablemente ayudándonos con el equipaje. El staff del hotel fue friendly and helpful. El desayuno, perfecto, te ofrecían café, te, huevos, amplia variedad de bolleria, fruta fresca, leche, zumos variados y cereales de todo tipo. Las habitaciones, calidas, limpias, cama confortable . Nuestra cama tenía un dosel con cortinas lo que le hacía más especial. Sparkling water and fresh water , snacks, milk and chocolate.Quiero destacar al equipo del hotel, tanto al propietario del hotel, James, que amablemente , se ofreció a llevarme a la estación rumbo al aeropuerto. Muy educado y atento. Roland, el host del hotel, siempre allí, pendiente de que no faltase de nada y por último, quiero destacar la magnífica dirección por parte del manager del hotel, Daniel , un encanto de persona, alegre, afable, comunicativo, educado. Dani es el ‘alma’ del hotel. Si compañía nos fue muy grata. Permanecimos allí 1 semana, en septiembre 2023. Definitivamente lo recomiendo al 100%. Mi marido se alojará dentro de unos días en este mismo hotel y sin duda volveré . My husband made the reservation for my daughter and me and we were delighted. The boutique hotel is located in the centre of Colchester, next to the castle park. I found the style of the hotel very warm as well as adorable, like a fairy tale. We arrived at night and Roland, the hotel host, kindly welcomed us helping us with the luggage. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast, perfect, offered you coffee, tea, eggs, a wide variety of pastries, fresh fruit, milk, assorted juices and cereals of all kinds. The rooms, warm, clean, comfortable bed. Our bed had a canove with curtains which made it more special. Sparkling water and fresh water, snacks, milk and chocolate. I want to highlight the hotel team, both the hotel owner, James, who kindly offered to take me to the station to the airport. Very polite and attentive. Roland, the host of the hotel, always there, waiting for nothing to be missing and finally, I want to highlight the magnificent direction by the hotel manager, Daniel, a charming person, cheerful, affable, communicative, polite. Dani is the 'soul' of the hotel. Yes, company was very pleasant to us. We stayed there for 1 week, in September 2023. I definitely recommend it 100%. My husband will be staying in this same hotel in a few days and I will definitely come back
