Woodview B&B Colchester

Situated in a beautiful location near attractions, the accommodation offers clean, comfortable rooms in an authentically restored house. Guests appreciate the warm welcome but note the absence of included breakfast.

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
