Top Great Bromley Hotel Reviews

The Mill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Bar seating area very comfortable. Breakfast excelleny"

Orwell Hotel

8/10 Good

"Has a bar, but no residents bar outside of normal hours. Could have done with additional tables for breakfast, and the replenishment of the breakfast items just wasn't quick enough, with people waiting around a lot for various things. Considering they knew the numbers up front this could have been better. The room was large, comfortable, and clean. It looked like the bathroom had recently been refurbished so that was excellent. All in all a good stay for the money involved."

The Kings Arms Broad Green

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay. Cannot fault a thing. Really friendly and attentive staff. Really nice and clean room. Food excellent and all at a very reasonable price. Bed and Breakfast for £50. Can't go wrong!"

The George of Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"El único detalle fue que la señal de WiFi era muy pobre en el cuarto que nos asignaron (room 212). Fui a la recepción para comentar esta situación y mencionaron que lo iban a revisar, pero no hubo mejora. En las áreas comunes del hotel funcionaba perfectamente."

Wivenhoe House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, great room, very quiet location. Restaurant & food were superb, recommend highly"

Holiday Inn Ipswich by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here last weekend and had a fantastic experience. The hotel is very easy to access by car, and the free on-site parking is a great bonus. The staff throughout the hotel were incredible. We were treated to a complimentary breakfast that was absolutely amazing, featuring an excellent variety of choices. They are highly accommodating to dietary needs, offering plenty of vegan options alongside on-request items like porridge and vegan sausages. A special mention goes to Wendy at breakfast, who was exceptionally helpful in guiding me through the options suitable for my allergies. The room itself was spacious, and the shower was excellent. I also highly appreciated the convenience of the 24/7 reception and the unrestricted, secure access to the hotel at any hour. I highly recommend this property and look forward to returning."

The Essex Golf and Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"This was our 6th stay at The Essex and we never have any complaints. The rooms are good size and have been recently refurbished. The location is nice and quiet, with a nice walk round the local airfield"
