Colchester Hotel with Pool

"It's a great airport hotel--probably the best airport hotel I've ever stayed at. That said (and I stayed here last month), I'd previously said that the restaurant food wasn't that good (I had their fish and chips then, and it was like grocery store frozen food)--but this time I had a burger, which was pretty decent, and their breakfast, which was top-notch. However, at dinner when I arrived, the place was so full of guests that it was impossible to get a table, and even the bar was told to stop taking food orders because the restaurant couldn't handle it. Being there, there is no alternate place for a traveler to dine--unless you rent a car or take a taxi to who knows how far away? You are completely captive here, so be prepared. I don't know what I'd recommend to the hotel--they are fine people, and the place is great--besides expanding the capacity (and menu) of the restaurant."

"Brilliant hotel with excellent staff."

"The restaurant was very accommodating especially to my wife who is coeliac. There was only one main on the included dinner menu that was gluten free so they let her choose from the wider menu. Good separation and labelling of gluten free items at breakfast too. "

"Stoke by Nayland Resort is a wonderful retreat in the heart of Constable Country. The setting is stunning, the rooms are comfortable, and the spa and dining are top-class. What really made our stay special, though, was the staff. A special thanks to Giuseppe, one of the Walters, whose warm and attentive service made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommended—we can’t wait to return!"
