      The Old Rectory is a gem. A beautiful house standing in pretty and well maintanined gardens.The weather during our stay (November) was not very nice but it made the open fires and warm bedrooms evenmore welcoming.Certainly worthy of another visit or two.

      The service was excellent. I had an accident and hit my head.which caused extensive bleeding. Judy from the front desk called the ambulance and stayed with me comforting me until the ambulance arrived. I received first aid and did not have to go to the hospital. Judy made sure that I got ice, new towels and linen and even offered to get Paracetemol. She really went out of her way to comfort me

      Our stay at Holiday Inn Orwell was very comfortable and I would recommend this hotel to others. I did had one of exceptions on arrival the front desk person was alittle rude. Rude by dismissing my presents and served another person after I had been waiting for service for 5 minutes. Most of the other staff were friendly and extremely helpful.

      The restaurant downstairs and the one next door are very noisy and you don't want to be in a room facing that. No air conditioning. But very nice room!

    The rooms looked promising but when it came to going to bed I felt sea sick, it was so soft every time one of us moved you felt like you had to hang on if not you would be thrown out .The bed was so uncomfortable the floor seemed a better option . Also my daughters sofa was also uncomfortable as you could feel all the metal bars through the mattress […] so all in all none of us slept. Read more

    Traveling from Colchester we missed it twice, not well signposted from that direction but we were told it states clearly on instructions its southbound, mentioned incase you are stupid as us. Television did not work but was quickly fixed. Hotel was nice but only a garage on site. Room was made up for children which was nice, but not enough cups for […] our party. Bar food and breakfast good. A short drive to Colchester, Castle Gardens and Museum excelent with good parking just before from which you can also walk into town.. Read more

    The hotel room was clean and comfortable. The recption staff were friendly and very helpful. The location was not great as there was nothing there, but as long as you have a car there is plenty to do and see. The price of the hotel reflects this. They could however, make a major improvement by providing free wifi for tablets, which is lamost universal […] in bars and coffee shops, but was not avaliable here. Read more

    I liked my stay at the Holiday Inn Express Colchester as it was the ideal location for my first visit to Constable Country. Unfortunately it was a bit tricky to find hiding behind the petrol station off the A12. The groundfloor room was ideal and very clean, breakfast a bit on the basic side, but with the hotels.com discount excellent value for money. […] And luxury shower and towels. Read more

    Hotel was modern and decorated well. The rooms were finished well. If you have others sharing the room like your kids beware the sofa beds! We have an 11 year old who could not sleep on the sofa bed due to the springs being so near the surface, then of course you have to cram in to a double bed! We went down to eat in the main reception area but it […] was so cold there we abandoned the idea and drove in to Colchester. There is a farm next door and the smell is not pleasent while you are parking. Read more

    The Hotel itself is actually rather nice and decent value, however the experience we had was dreadful, we were kept awake by drunken people and at one point for up to an hour all we could hear was swearing and kicking of a door. On reporting it and explaining the problem the person said let me see what we can do about that problem, he came back after […] and just said oh sorry about that. I know its difficult and not the fault of the hotel, however it certainly wasn't our fault and the experience was not one that we should have had and I would not like repeated, I believe it could and should have been dealt with much better. I would have personally thrown the guests out. They would have certainly ruined many peoples stay. Apart from that it would have been a reasonable comment. Read more

    Great for a mid-trip stay if you are breaking up a long journey. But has very little nearby except the shell garage that the hotel is located behind. Staff were not overly helpful - stayed as a large group (23) and they were unorganised at check in and refused to serve all of us in the restaurant even though we offered to stagger our timings - ended […] up ordering takeaway, also very little options only Thai Garden or Pizza a-go-go delivered in the area. Overall, not a bad place to stay rooms very spacious and comfortable but would not be great for a long vacation. Read more

    This holiday inn express is relatively new and the standard and finish of the room is excellent...spacious, comfortable bed and a roomy clean bathroom. Two things to note is that there is no free WIFI in any of the rooms (expensive day charges) and the hotel suffers from poor mobile reception. Breakfast was more than adequate with scrambled eggs, sausages, […] beans and a choice of pastries being offered. Would not hesitate to stay in this hotel again if on business in the area. Read more

    I booked two rooms, one for me, my wife and 16 year old son and the other for my in-laws. On arrival, the hotel looks new and modern. The lobby is open plan with a bar and restaurant area just past the reception. The staff were friendly and welcoming upon arrival but sometimes a little busy as they share duties with the bar as well as reception. The […] room was clean, tidy and well maintained. The bathroom was immaculate and the shower cubicle huge! And the shower was quite good too! The main bed was comfortable with a choice of soft and firm pillows. The only issue was the sofa bed for our 16 year old was very uncomfortable. You could feel the springs through the very thin mattress and he didn't have a good nights sleep. We also had to ask for extra towels, as we were only provided with one bath towel. Otherwise, an excellent stay. The breakfast was a mix of hot and cold buffett. The only thing missing was bacon and maybe a fried egg but for the price, it was all quite good and very filling. Overall, we were very plased with our stay at this Holiday Inn Express Hotel and would definitely stay again and recommend it. Read more

    Everything was clean and well maintained however the welcome at reception on booking in was rather frosty.
