Set in Colchester, in a historic building, 28 km from Freeport Braintree, Prince Cottage is a bed and breakfast with a garden and barbecue facilities. It is located 31 km from Hedingham Castle and provides full-day security. The bed and breakfast offers garden views, a picnic area, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available.

Even though I spent one night here. I was able to experience that familiar homey feeling one gets when arriving home. The host was present and already caring for all my needs, accommodating me and updating me on the morning breakfast. I loved how well maintained everything was, and for the time spent there, I remembered how important it is to take a break once in a while and enjoy the sun. The host was very warm, and talked with me about their family business, and how they developed their accommodation to create this feeling as you are home.. I can not recommend this place enough. Because they successfully did. I took a break from the rush of my daily life. I will definitely come again. Did I mention the eggs in the morning were from 🐔 they raise? 100% organic.

    Great location, central but quiet, a 5 minute walk to the town centre. No on-street parking but very cheap long-stay car park in walking distance. Justine and Mounir are super friendly hosts and we loved having a chat. It was nice to meet Captain the parrot, too! You can see the TLC they put into their house, it's very small but very cute. It was nice to have Netflix in our room on a nice large TV to relax after a busy day!
