Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in City of Colchester

Such a beautiful home and a real treat to be able to stay there, offered a very relaxed atmosphere with great amenities and a very lovley breakfast Sophie and her husband were very welcoming and so accommodating especially as we had delays on our journey and arrived much later than planned. I was travelling with friends to enjoy an evening at Newmarket Racecourse and we all enjoyed our stay very much and said we would definitely come back again

Me and my best friend came and had a lovely stay with my dog. We felt right at home very quickly and are already talking about coming back! The food was beautiful, the surroundings were perfect, it was so peaceful. Louise & Hugh were really friendly and easy to get along with. We had a great time chatting to them. I would highly recommend coming here, we couldn't have felt more welcome & it was really good value for money.

Janet and her husband run an excellent establishment. Attention to detail was really good from the communication we had before arriving, organising a taxi and then tea and cake in the garden! The breakfast was yummy and again service warm and welcoming. Highly rate the stay!

My family and I stayed in the suite at the guest house. Everyone slept well, and the shower was nice and warm. The wireless internet didn't reach the suite, but was available in the main house, where we were welcome to sit for the evening. Breakfast was provided and was excellent and had a wide variety of options including a full English. Our hosts were very hospitable and helpful when we needed to find food and also when my wife suffered an allergic reaction. All in all, we would definitely come back next time that we're in the area.

This was our second stay and we had a very nice relaxing time again, greeted on arrival with delicious tea and cake and made to feel very welcome. We had a fantastic meal on the first night cooked by the very talented Louise and a beautiful cooked breakfast each morning, highly recommend place to stay and hopefully we will come again.

Great house, lovely host and delicious breakfast

What an amazing find, superb location, peaceful, classy and very comfortable. All the staff were very nice/helpful/friendly and the food couldn't have been better. Sadly no bath in our room but a great nights sleep on a gorgeous bed. Took a lovely country walk opposite the property and ended up going three miles round which was nice to explore the countryside.

Wonderful old property, plenty of old exposed beams and leaning walls. Full of character better than a travel lodge anytime. Terry and Lynn are great hosts, very approachable and live on site. They seem to have worked hard to mitigate the problem of covid and social distancing. Rooms are now self contained. Breakfast no longer served but cooking facilities and supplies (eggs cereals, milk etc.) are left in the room. Dog friendly, some good walks (with rabbits) just a few meters from the garden gate. The lovely town of Long Melford is just up the road.

Lovely stay in Shimpling. Annie was a fantastic host, incredibly friendly and made us feel at home. The rooms were all perfect for us , beautifully clean and comfortable. Annie made us tea on arrival and served us a wonderful breakfast in the morning - I highly recommend.

Wonderful little B&B situated on the island, Victoria was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was particularly delicious (with plenty of options) and watching the ducks and chickens roaming the garden provided great entertainment! Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

I had a great stay at Margaret's. I felt very welcomed, the setting was beautiful and the space was ideal. The room set up was great and the extra touches were lovely. I would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.

Excellent. Accommodation was brilliant. Room was spotless. Garden was very clean and relaxing. Breakfast was delicious and so much of it... Hosts were extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly (even Teddy the dog) and asking if everything is OK.. So homely and made the stay all so special. Thank you.

Excellent service …. Really good communication and understanding, really clean and descent, would definitely stay here again, close to public transport and not too far from town, host went above and beyond with customer service…. Would highly recommend

The modern and light room with enclosed bathroom is in Eden‘s newly renovated house, which is located in a calm and residential neighborhood. Different restaurants, cafes and grocery shops can be found along Mill Road. She and her husband are very kind and forthcoming hosts. I would definitely recommend a stay and love to come back!

I enjoyed my stay very much. Stephen was a great host and the room was very nice. The house is maybe a 7 minute walk from the train station. What I enjoyed very much was in the way we interacted. I had my room whenever I wanted to be by myself, and I also had very nice conversations with Stephen when I wanted to socialize. I felt very much at home and Stephen is a very nice person.

What a remarkable stay…and amazing host! This jewel was the cherry on top of an already amazing visit to the UK. If you love and appreciate history, this place is a must! Accommodation was a perfect site for recovering after a whirlwind journey and preparing for the trip back home. Breakfast was delicious, and Jane offered brilliant suggestions for things to do and places to see. Cannot wait to return!

Odell and Ross were friendly, made brilliant breakfasts. Happy to chat and explain the area. Would defiantly recommend a visit.

Staying at Tim's house was truly special. From the moment he welcomed us into his beautifully decorated home we felt so comfortable. Our bedroom was just amazing with everything you could possibly need plus extras that were very much appreciated. Tim is a wonderful host and he treated us to the most spectacular breakfasts. Although the house is within easy walking distance of the town centre it was very quiet. We can't recommend Tim highly enough and we would love to come back.

Stan and his wife were very welcoming and they really took care of their guest. They have been nice and proactive. The house was perfect and super clean. The breakfast was very tasty! Staying at Stan was lovely and it was a very good choice. Lucia and Maria Teresa

This is a lovely room, which is decorated beautifully. It was very clean, well maintained, and spacious. The breakfast is so lovely and a really nice touch. Very friendly owners who gave us some good tips on places to visit nearby. Thank you for a great stay!

What a beautiful place to stay the host were absolutely lovely, Odell and Ross made you very welcome. The B&B is situated in gorgeous country side with fields all around you, theres lovely walks where if you are lucky you will see the deer walking through the fields which was a lovely sight to see, it was so peaceful and calming a perfect place to relax and recharge your batteries . The room was very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. There is also tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Then we have the breakfast which started with fresh fruit salad, yogurt, and cereal followed by a lovely presentation of a cooked breakfast which came out on a platter for your table, so you could help yourselves and for each day there was a different variation all beautifully cooked and taste gorgeous. Needless to say i have already booked a stay for Christmas, i cant believe little gems like this still exist and i am glad i found it. Thank you Odell and Ross for a truly wonderfull weekend you were wonderful host see you again soon.

Donna is very friendly, accommodating, easy going and readily available host. we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this if you are looking for a place in Chelmsford.

If you stay with Jacki you’re in for an absolute treat! Her beautiful home and garden are a pleasure in every way and Jacki herself is, beyond doubt, the perfect host. Breakfast in the conservatory with views out across her enchanting garden and the fields beyond is a delight – a wonderfully relaxing way to start the day. Samba, her well-behaved and adorable spaniel, is an added bonus. It’s impossible to recommend Jacki’s lovely establishment highly enough – I only wish I might have stayed longer and very much look forward to returning.
