Lovely room and fabulous service

We had the accessible room which was great but a couple of minor issues. Mirror too high in bathroom and turning circle could be better for wheelchair access

Fabulous find on my way to Colchester on Business. The room was fantastic as was the restaurant. If only I was closer I would eat there on a regular basis. Staff were welcoming and couldn't do enough for me.

Clean, modern, great food, decent size room, friendly staff

Would be nice to have a lounge where you can sit, not in restaurant and not in your room.
