Purleigh Hotels

"Nothing wrong with the hotel per say, the pre-requisite of checking in takes longer than it needs to be and the inital deposit for the room (incase you charge anything back to it) is not very forthwith considering its £100 which is on the costly side for a deposite. Im still waiting for it to be released back to me. A simple card check would have suffied. Unfortunately the spa facilities were closed during my stay."

"Staff vwry friendly and room very clean"

"Good free parking. Excellent breakfast good choice and nice and hot. Air conditioning and heating not working in room an electric heater provided but I was not informed of this by hotel staff. The room was clean and serviced daily. "

"Not sure how its a 4-star. Anyway, the restaurant was really good, great food (but a bit heavy on cheese and light on mushrooms in the risotto) and wine. Special recognition for Tilly, who was very attentive. The fire alarm went off 12 times in the night, really? The room, No. 17, was way too hot, maybe that's what triggered the alarm? The heated towel rail was on full and I couldn't see how to turn it off. The bathroom extractor fan ran on for ages."

"Staff very helpful, although check inn at 10.30pm proved sketchy Great leisure facilities, with use of pool etc allowed on the day of departure"

"Clean, tidy and on Colchester high street, so a perfect location. Breakfast was served in the hotel opposite, was great. "

"Great stay"

"My room was very noisy even tho I had requested ahead and confirmed on arrival a quiet room"

"Quirky and incredibly well designed hotel! It can’t be easy remodeling a +500 year old hotel. Location was perfect! Downtown Colchester, walkable to shops and restaurants. Modern amenities, fabulous decor, great location and incredible customer service! I really enjoyed staying in the historic hotel."
