Holiday Inn Colchester by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you everything"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"It was short walk from the train station and like 50 minutes from London. The restaurant in the hotel is pretty good and the bus to colchester city center is pretty good. The hotel was clean and check out was pretty easy as well."

Charming 2-bedroom terraced house in quaint West Mersea

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty cottage, in a beautiful sunny garden. We loved eating on the terrace under the wisteria. It's an old cottage with low doors, so don't forget to duck if you're tall! The stairs are very narrow, not suitable for someone with mobility issues. Only one street back from the beach and a short walk to the shops and pubs. West Mersea is very picturesque!"

Spacious Island beach house. w/Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Bright Seaside Cottage with Views Over the Estuary

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful little cottage with a vintage chic vibe. Stunning views from both of the bedroom windows, although not from the garden as the hedge was too high.We really loved the location close to the river with easy access to cafes and lovely walks along the beach and tow paths. The beds and sofas were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We enjoyed a very chilled and relaxing 4 days and would consider returning in the future."
