Amazing side road gem to rest with delicious food

Such a nice little gem outside of London as a stop if you’re travelling through or a base if you’re exploring the eastern countryside. The food was particularly delicious and the generous portion sizes will not leave anyone disappointed. We endeavour to return :)

It's not in Colchester Town.

As the hotel location information (map and local access info) was about the King's Arms in Colchester town on the Hotels.com website, I initially went there where I was told that I was at a wrong King's Arms and that they did not have any rooms. The King's Arms I had booked turned out to be the one 40-minute bus ride away from Colchester town. The correct King's Arms was a nice place to stay offering great food. My room was fine in size and very clean but adjusting the shower was a little tricky and there was nowhere to hang/put my clothes. And the pub guests talked just outside my room occasionally during the night--was not too bad as the pub closes at 10pm.

Would highly recommend if you have a dog as the Kings Arms is really dog friendly and has a great outdoor space and lovely beer garden. I loved the way we were provided with a dog bed, bowls and treats for the dogs on arrival. A great find and would definitely stay again.

Very good

First night there was a lot of noise from busy road and bar below (although it was mainly our wedding crew) but when we asked to move the 2 nd night they were VERY obliging and that room (8) was amazing. Food very good. (Dinner and breakfast) staff very friendly and all pleasant.

Warm and friendly inn

Our was ideal for 4 day stay. The room was clean and large enough for the kids on the sofa and my wife and I in the master. There was plenty of parking. The Pub is nice and the service for breakfast, lunch and dinner was very nice. Everyone was super friendly.

AWFUL! Do not stay here

My stay at this hotel was awful. I stayed here on business and had many problems. I stay in 70/80 hotels per year and have never had to complain like this. I was aware just before arrival that they weren’t offering Breakfast or any Evening Meals which was less than ideal in the location. However I had several other issues but to name a few: No milk available for tea or coffee on request Room freezing, no radiators in room and wall unit not on before arrival so I spent 4 hrs having to wear my coat in my room. I left the heater on over night on 28 degrees to get it warm. Exit/Fire Safety lights in room. Large green lights that lit up the room all night so I was unable to sleep. I have never seen this before in any hotel so this needs to be corrected. On checkout the lady I spoke to couldn’t have cared less and didn’t take any of my feedback on board. Hotels.com shouldn’t currently be advertising this hotel as it is not fit for purpose with all the renovations taking place.

Food was fantastic, real home cooked food, service was great, staff great, lovely old fire place, very welcoming. The bed very comfortable, the only thing that let it down was the internet was a bit hit and miss.
