Wivenhoe house was a beautiful building with lots of character. The grounds were gorgwous and the staff were very friendly and helpful Especially the receptionist. The only thing that let it down in my opinion where the finer details in cleanliness. First thibg i noticed in the lobby were cobwebs on the ceiling and the csrpet didnt appear to have been hoovered thay day. The room we stayed in also had cobwebs and dust settled on the cieling beams. Grout could have done with a deeper clean in the bathroom but overall it was a lovely clean room, presented well with stunning views. I would still recommend this hotel, it was a good experience

My new go-to hotel in Colchester and the surrounding area. My husband and I stayed for a work party nearby and were struck by the helpfulness and kindness of staff from the start. From the reception to the security in the evening, the chef and the ladies serving breakfast, everyone was so kind and went the extra mile. Really next level. The breakfast was incredible (best eggs we’ve had in a hotel) and the room was decadent and cosy. The devil is in the details and even having eco friendly products including makeup remover and a comb (which was a lifesaver as I forgot mine). Fantastic coffee in the rooms as well with a proper coffee machine rather than just a kettle. Also love how all the rooms have historical names rather than just numbers. The perfect stay - we will be back! Please personally thank all the staff from us (especially the kind reception lady who gave us the option to choose our room and the evening staff who took photos of us at midnight as I forgot to at the party!)

Fantastic stay for our 1 year together! Gabrielle on the front desk was really helpful, allowing me to pull the wool over my other halfs eyes; I turned up early, set the room up (despite the fact the hotel had already put a swan made towel on the bed plus rose petals) and then went back downstairs, where when I turned up the second time., we "checked in again" without my other half knowing. Really magical moments made. Really grateful to Gabrielle. Lovely stay, nice atmosphere and breakfast was tasty, warm and filling!

We only spent one night, but would happily have stayed for more! The reception in the hotel smelt lovely and we were greeted by friendly reception staff. The room felt luxurious and it was very spacious. The bed was a good size too. The setting was quite unique - as you drive pretty much onto the university of Essex campus, but you’re far enough away from everything for it to be quiet. We enjoyed a little winter walk around the lake before we left…I’m sure it’d be lovely to go further in summer, but it was a bit muddy! Overall, we had a great stay & will keep it on our list to return again.

Only stayed for one night, however the hotel and room was clean. Limited transport options so unless you're driving be sure to book your cab in advance. Hotel doesn't have any additional sports facilities however when asked, they did say I could use the university facilities although I didn't persue. Good dining options.

Having checked in and headed to the bar. We were sat in the beautiful gardens enjoying our drink, only to be told the gardens would now be closed to the public due to a high school prom. We were moved round to the restaurant patio in the shade, within 20 mins we were then told that no members of the public were allowed outside at all during the prom. And promptly moved indoors. Feel we should of been made aware at booking or at least check in that the facilities would not be available to us. Given a free drink for the inconvenience but staff very uninterested and blamed last minute risk assessments. Laughable considering when we left the restaurant we had to walk through the prom to our room. Dodging all the students having photo shoots in various parts of the hotel. Very disappointing.

Nice hotel, lovely setting. The rooms were spacious and comfortable but too warm, it needs air conditioning not just a fan which didn’t do much. The breakfast was ok, the cold part of the buffet breakfast was fine but the hot wasn’t good enough, it was cold !!
