Woodview B&B Colchester

Very friendly welcome and great for a few days stay. Don't serve breakfast anymore but food can be sought close by. Highly recommended.

Very quiet, peaceful place. Shared bathroom and toilet , tea and coffee facilities.comfortable stay.

Honest Feedback Loverly setting however the bed and especially the pillows are not good enough for a good nights sleep or comfort, I hand a ground room and at 22:30 the room above was used which for the rest of the night the gentleman may as well have been in my room with me and could hear every from TV, walking around and phones calls WIFI poor also but have seen this reviews previously and it’s just a remote place but very peaceful so don’t plan on getting any work done on PC.

Many reviews mention the impressive breakfast but be warned that of recent date the proprietors have decided: "room only at the moment on these prices I am directing anybody to stanway where all the eating houses are." Somewhat confusing as their own web page clearly states: Dining (Tick) Cooked breakfast. You are encouraged to take advantage of the dining area should you take your own breakfast. So, as long as you are clear on that point It is a delightful B&B (-B) 29/07/2023

The property is in a great location if visiting Layer Marney Tower, which was our prime reason for booking. However, we were very disappointed with our stay. For £90 per night and being advertised as a B&B, you would expect breakfast to be included. However, all the literature on this property doesn't mention breakfast, which should perhaps have been a red flag. Neither does it say room only. But breakfast is not included and actively discouraged by the owner as "not cost effective". If that was the only disappointment, it would have been OK. The room we had was a converted garage under the house. It was cold and slightly damp, especially in the en-suite. There was no heated towel rail and no light above the mirror and our wet towels were not changed. The only place to sit was in a solitary garden chair by the door and the kettle was showing bare wires and no signs of a PAT test. Seemed rather tired and lacking in care and attention. Not worth the £90pn... Sorry

We stayed whilst on a cycling trip and appreciated the warm welcome and comfortable accommodation provided. We chose a cereal/toast breakfast but were offered a cooked one - we were not hungry enough to require the full monty, however the cereal and toast were just fine. Cycles were stored in a locked shed. Tea and coffee facilities and TV were provided as was en suite shower. Overall a very pleasant stay and lucky find. Owner Julie was extremely friendly and welcoming.
