- Aiesha (10/5): -
- Joanne (10/5): Perfect - Everything. Just perfect for what I needed
- Charlotte (10/5): I had a lovely stay in dolly cottage during my placement. - As I was in Colchester for 8 weeks on a university placement the location was very convenient and the property had everything I needed. Pauline was very accommodating and helpful. N/A
- Abigail (9/5): A comfortable place to stay with everything needed and close walk to the hospital - I really appreciated how spacious and well-equipped Dolly Cottage was. Everything I needed for a longer stay was provided, including toiletries, cleaning equipment, and plenty of storage. The Sky TV and private parking space were also big positives, and it was great to have the option for bedding and towels to be washed on request. Pauline was very attentive and helpful throughout, greeting me on arrival, showing me around, and even offering to arrange extra parking permits if needed. The location was great; only a 5–10 minute walk to the hospital, which made it very convenient. Overall, the cottage felt private, practical, and comfortable. Some facilities, like washing machines and extra parking permits, were available at an additional cost, which could be useful for those who need them. I should also add that Pauline's gorgeous cat was a lovely friendly addition to my entry and exit from the property each day! :) There were a few spiders during my stay, which is to be expected at that time of year, though they were manageable. The bathroom mirror wasn’t wired in, but this was only a minor detail in an otherwise very well-equipped space. The kitchen window didn’t have a blind, which wasn’t an issue most of the time, but on the occasions when someone was using the shed behind (where the freezer and washing machine are kept), it did feel a little less private. Overall, these were small points that didn’t take away from the comfort and practicality of the stay.
- MOHAMED NAIEM (10/5): Lovely 2 days, very well maintained & clean. -
- Antonia (10/5): Very pleased with the property overall, no issues at all - Host was there to meet me and gave me a quick tour and run down of the property. Very friendly host Maybe a small freezer in the building, but it wasn’t much of an issue to go to the freezer round back
- Lesley (9/5): - Was a brilliant location to the hospital.
Lovely place to stay N/a
- Amber (10/5): Amazing cottage, lovely lady. - Pauline was absolutely lovely and so understanding with us. Her instructions were very clear and we didn’t struggle to get anything working. She was asked by my partner to create a set up for my birthday and she did just that, we had a lovely stay and would happily stay again. Everything was good, no dislikes.
- Rebekah (9/5): Superb - I stayed at Dolly Cottage for 5 weeks on a hospital placement. It was a 5 minute walk to the hospital, about 15-30 min walk to shops and train station. There is a bus stop at the top of the road. It has its own entrance so it does not feel like you are staying in someone's garden.
Pauline and her daughter were very helpful with all enquiries and needs required during my stay.
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely property, we have stayed before, very friendly and welcoming host who is always on hand to help
There is nothing to dislike about this property.
- Abdulrahman (10/5): Exceptional - the cottage is located in a lovely quiet neighbourhood, it was so clean and tidy with every thing you need for a long stay.
Pauline, the host is very welcoming and helpful and she respects the host privacy.
thank you Pauline.
- Kevin (7/5): Good -
- Andy (10/5): Dolly cottage is at the end of quiet cul de sac yet it is very easy to get to all parts of Colchester and beyond. - Everything you could want in a small self contained apartment. The kitchen facilities are great and the tv and internet work well. The shower room and toilet is very clean and provides plenty of hot water. Nothing.
- Benedetto (10/5): Perfect stay! - Great venue. The cottage was very clean and comfortable.
The host was very welcoming and friendly.
All comforts for a stay away from home. It was all perfect.
- Sarah (10/5): Lovely stay - Very friendly welcoming owner,
Great location, lovely roomy cottage, good facilities,
We had a lovely stay, would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this accommodation. Nothing to dislike.
- Andy (10/5): A perfect little cottage for us to visit our family in Colchester. - Dolly cottage provides everything we needed for a visit to see our family in Colchester. A very quiet and secure location with great cooking facilities, lots of hot water and good tv and internet. This was our second time to Dolly cottage and it was just as perfect, with complimentary tea and coffee etc provided and even a new bed base. Weather was very warm and we managed to make use of the seating area outside for breakfast. Pauline the owner is a perfect host. I find the couch a little uncomfortable after a while but all other facilities are perfect so it didn’t really matter.
- Rashid (5/5): In-accurate listing, needs lots of improvement! - - Welcoming friendly host
- Clean garage apartment - Washing machine & tumbler are NOT in apartment as listed, they are in a dirty shed in the backyard of the host's house. And surprisingly charging extra fees for usage of any of them!!
- iron was extra dirty and again within that dirty shed.
- iron board is not only dirty in the shed but un-usable too.
- the couple chairs are mini type and not comfortable for sitting, the couch is not comfortable as well, the bed is not adequately raised from floor and not convenient to utilize.
- no privacy coverage of front door and kitchen windows.
- no blackout curtains in bed room with a sunrise of 4:30 and sunset of 9:30 made sleeping quite difficult.
- the towel-drying-radiator in the bathroom makes the room a sauna! and can't turn it down because sinks and shower get their hot water thru it!!
- Johnathan (9/5): Superb -
- Andy (9/5): A perfect little property to allow us to visit family in Colchester. - It is very clean with plenty of hot water and good facilities throughout, although we didn’t need to use the cooker. The wi-fi worked well as did the tv and the property contained everything we could ever need. The owner was very helpful and always on hand to assist us. The bed was a bit low but still comfortable.
- Janet (10/5): Perfect - Very comfortable and the host was very helpful Nothing
- Kulsum (9/5): Superb - It's very clean, comfortable to stay and walking distance from hospital. Pauline was exceptionally helpful. We accommodated all our things as we moved from one place to another. She even gave us extra space in her office to use which was really exceptional support while moving house. I would strongly recommend Dolly cottage. None
- Valerie (9/5): Lovely accommodation in good location - Very clean, well equipped and comfortable
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional - Met by owner who was very welcoming.
Straight away I felt comfortable and Pauline was very approachable.
I would definitely recommend Dolly Cottage to family and friends. There was nothing not to like. It was a lovely place to stay located in an excellent area.
Local shop a short walk which is very handy as I have not got a car at the moment.

- Bassem (8/5): Very good -
- Denise (8/5): Good for short stays - Very clean, modern and everything you needed. Host very helpful, when an issue arose, was sorted very quickly For us, the bed was too low for getting in and out, and the sofa uncomfortable

- Ferreira (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jo (10/5): Exceptional -

- Ololade (10/5): Exceptionally clean space and very thoughtful hosts. It was just the perfect space we needed. - Location was perfect. Walking distance to ASDA and the hospital where I had friends. The cottage was serene, exceptionally clean and just what I needed for my company of 3. My kids loved their stay at Dolly Cottage. And I found book ideas for my next reading plan from the mini library. Honestly, I can't think of anything I didn't like. Loved everything about Dolly Cottage.
