Just how wonderfully it had been restored with up to date comforts and amazing en-suite with super cool barn doors and sash windows you can open!!! We slept like babies in the bed after a lovely meal in the restaurant and woke up refreshed before having showers to our next stop - will definitely recommend to everyone and eat/stay again. Thanks for a lovely stay x

Prince Cottage

Colchester

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. The location was perfect not too far from the town centre, and on a quiet side street, so it wasn't too noisy. The building itself was small, so not too many guests which kept it homely and welcoming. The owners were amazing, they truly went above and beyond, and even made it like a little party for my sisters birthday, which we hadn't asked for. I feel as though we have made new friends who we would like to visit frequently. The food was impeccable, fresh eggs from their hens, quality butcher sausages all freshly cooked, no frozen food. We felt like we were treated like family whilst we were there.
