Top Abberton Reservoir Hotel Reviews

The George of Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"El único detalle fue que la señal de WiFi era muy pobre en el cuarto que nos asignaron (room 212). Fui a la recepción para comentar esta situación y mencionaron que lo iban a revisar, pero no hubo mejora. En las áreas comunes del hotel funcionaba perfectamente."

The Victory at Mersea

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the harbour. Everything about the room was perfect and it was excellent value for money. The bed was comfortable and it was exciting to wake up with such amazing views. Our first visit to Mersea. The draw was the possibility of fresh seafood and we found that at the Seafood at Dawn restaurant just over the road. The hotel was fairly quiet during our stay but we imagine it must be difficult to get a room there during the summer season. We enjoyed the walks along the Coast Road, excellent cafes and seafood outlets. Out of season Mersea is very quiet and relaxing! Plenty of fresh air. Highly recommended."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying here. Great place, friendly staff, room was really nice. Still the only downside is having to pay for parking, should be free for those staying at the hotel in my opinion."

Specious & Cosy 3 Bedroom House in Colchester/pet-friendly with free parking

10/10 Excellent

"The property was exactly as described and came with a lot more extras than expected such as cleaning supplies, extra toilet paper a clothesline in the back and seasoning if we wanted to cook and stay in. The host was exceptional in communication and when we had a small issue he came out to the house to assist within a few minutes. Bishal is a great host and I would definitely stay at this property again."

"Clean, fresh and in a nice quite area"

Mersea Anchorage Cottage | Estuary Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely short break in this charming cottage. The location is one of the best on the island, down a very quiet track with views out to the estuary and a short walk down to the harbour. Cottage was well equipped and has been renovated to a high spec. Steps upstairs are steep, reflecting how old the property is, so won’t suit anyone with mobility issues, but fine for us - just added to the character of the property. Would love to return!"

Beautiful period fisherman's cottage
