Guests say
Toad Hall Cottage in Colchester offers a peaceful and secluded getaway with a hot tub and beautiful views. Guests have enjoyed the quiet location, comfortable bed, and the helpfulness of the hosts. While some minor maintenance issues were noted, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment in a lovely setting.
The lodge was described as very clean, with cleaning supplies provided. One guest mentioned having to clean the hot tub filters, but this seems an isolated incident rather than a reflection on the general cleanliness of the property.
The location is consistently praised for its peacefulness and beauty, with field views and a private setting. It is described as ideal for a relaxing break and is appreciated for its seclusion.
Guests have found the bed very comfortable and the cabin cozy, contributing to a relaxing stay. However, one guest suggested the addition of a blind for the velux window to block out early morning light.
The property offers a range of facilities including a hot tub, which is generally well-received. Some guests noted that the lodge and hot tub appear a bit tired and in need of maintenance, with a few DIY jobs outstanding.
While guests have mentioned the helpfulness of the hosts and the provision of cleaning supplies, there are no specific references to gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.
