A historical hotel from 1400 with large rooms , staff who all care about their job and the place they work, reasonable rates, tasty breakfast and a 100s of years old ghost to go with it . Hidden secret in Colchester in the middle of town, would definitely come back !

Brilliant staff!
The staff are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great value for money and nothing was too much trouble. Only issue we had was that the window wouldn't stay open and because it was very warm in the room we had to place a drawer in position to wedge the window open a little to get some air into the room, but otherwise it was clean a great pit stop for what we wanted.

The heating was on full abd couldnt not be turned down. No privacy curtain at the massive windows which was heavily over looked, so the main curtains had to be permanently closed for privacy. Very very dirty.
