Such a nice little gem outside of London as a stop if you’re travelling through or a base if you’re exploring the eastern countryside.
The food was particularly delicious and the generous portion sizes will not leave anyone disappointed.
We endeavour to return :)
As the hotel location information (map and local access info) was about the King's Arms in Colchester town on the Hotels.com website, I initially went there where I was told that I was at a wrong King's Arms and that they did not have any rooms. The King's Arms I had booked turned out to be the one 40-minute bus ride away from Colchester town. The correct King's Arms was a nice place to stay offering great food. My room was fine in size and very clean but adjusting the shower was a little tricky and there was nowhere to hang/put my clothes. And the pub guests talked just outside my room occasionally during the night--was not too bad as the pub closes at 10pm.
Would highly recommend if you have a dog as the Kings Arms is really dog friendly and has a great outdoor space and lovely beer garden. I loved the way we were provided with a dog bed, bowls and treats for the dogs on arrival. A great find and would definitely stay again.
Nice place nice friendly staff, in a nice area
The cheap rooms could be a little better for the money. And there’s a bit of road noise if your a light sleeper
Great breakfast

Very good
First night there was a lot of noise from busy road and bar below (although it was mainly our wedding crew) but when we asked to move the 2 nd night they were VERY obliging and that room (8) was amazing. Food very good. (Dinner and breakfast) staff very friendly and all pleasant.
Our was ideal for 4 day stay. The room was clean and large enough for the kids on the sofa and my wife and I in the master. There was plenty of parking. The Pub is nice and the service for breakfast, lunch and dinner was very nice. Everyone was super friendly.
Made to feel very welcome room was amazing and beautiful view. Food was excellent. An added touch to the rooms was a robe for guests to use in the bathroom
