We offer a great selection of last-minute cottages in Colchester to suit all budgets and requirements. For intimate getaways for two, we have cosy cottages and secluded cabins.

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Confirmed Guest - Verified booking

    What a wonderful place this is. Located in a beautiful, historic, semi-rural part of Essex just outside Colchester, quiet but just 20mins from the heart of city and with other small towns and villages nearby. The property has been very sensitively renovated, to create functional, comfortable holiday accommodation that retains its historical characteristics. Inside, there is more space that one might imagine with two receptions, a large, well-equipped kitchen and downstairs WC, plus two large bedrooms, both with large ensuite bath/shower rooms. The beds are really comfortable. All that was missing for us was a full-length mirror and hooks on the back of the doors (hoping the owner will add these!). We cook every day and found the kitchen had everything we needed (although no salt/pepper that we could find - please add this!). The oven and hob were clean and really easy to use. Outside, the space is extensive and private and the inclusion of a hot tub is very welcome (staff check it daily on weekdays but are friendly and unobtrusive). Ideal for relaxing and also as a base for exploring the local area. Just half an hour away from the lovely beach at Mersea Island. There are another five lodges on the site but they are some distance away from Crows Hall, although as guests of the estate we were free to roam the entire site, which includes a fishing lake, which we really appreciated. We have stayed in many self-catering places and this is one of the best.

  • Susan - Verified booking

    Basic but adequate.

    Downstairs lino needs replacing particularly in the kitchen by fridge - looks dirty.As stated the stairs are very steep - hand rails on both sides but not lined up equally - could be adjusted. Patio slabs uneven. Pond is so overgrown with plants that it is not obviously seen so it could be a danger to small children. Found I had to wash some saucepans as not clean & big sticky mark on base of saucepan cupboard I cleaned. Good location for walk down (couple of mins) to boats,pontoon,restaurants etc. Rubbish collection is an issue. It says in info book it is collected on Weds, to double bag it & put bag out -not the wheelie bin. This we did late Tues night as we were not sure what time the bin men came & woke to rubbish all out the front where foxes had got into it. Cleaned it all up & re-bagged to put in wheelie bin. On driving off Thurs morning saw neighbours up the road had put bags out. Needs clarifying what day it's collected & also if there's time to put it out in the morning rather than the night before.

  • Robert - Verified booking

    The cottage was lovely and a good size for our party of six.

    It was spoilt by some of the issues we had. No instructions for putting out the waste or recycling. We stacked our waste at the rear of the garage along with previous waste that had not been disposed of. It was very smelly and an obvious health hazard. Packet of rolls with a 2023 date on found in back of cupboard. The floors in the showers and in the bath were very slippery when wet. Bath mats or anti slip system would solve this. There was mould on the ceiling in the ensuite bathroom and adjacent bedroom. More saucepans of various sizes needed. Helpful, easy to read advice on how to use microwave , oven etc, Used sanitary items left in bedroom bin. Single toilet seat cracked and stained. Not able to use outside seating area as it needed cleaning to get rid of green algae. Because the front door is very stiff to open and close handles would be very helpful. The keybox was very hard to find on arrival and so low down was difficult to use. Instructions on where it was located would be useful.

  • Diane - Verified booking

    We did have a lovely stay at Ivy Cottage as the location is idyllic.

    The house was very close to the sea and we enjoyed some lovely beach walks. The food at The Coast Inn was delicious and a 3 minute walk away, so absolutely perfect for dinner and they do a nice cooked breakfast. The house was clean and the linen and towels very nice. I appreciate it is a character property, however, the place does need some tlc. The "ensuite" was a toilet & sink in a cupboard and didn't have any shower. So all 6 of us had to share the main bathroom downstairs. Wasn't ideal but we managed! The garden is beautiful and private, but unkept. This place has potential and some improvements could be made. West Mersea has plenty to offer and is a great location for a little holiday.

  • Kate - Verified booking

    This cottage is spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and secluded garden in an amazing location for easily accessing pubs/restaurants and the water's edge.

    Communication with owners was excellent, Sadly though our overall enjoyment was let down by the following:- Overgrown and neglected garden with dirty outside windows with lots of cobwebs. mattresses on beds are poor, spongy, topper mattresses on some which makes for very uncomfortable sleep. Dated ramshackle furniture in bedrooms Sofas not cleaned properly, clumps of hair floating around on cushions and filthy underneath sofa cushions. No instructions for turning on heating Only one wardrobe between 3 bedrooms! tired stained sofas With a little TLC this house could be nice and homely. Sadly though in it's current state we won't be revisiting this property.
