Gestingthorpe Vacation Packages

2.5/5 Stars Our stay here was a bit of a mixed bag. Upon arrival, we joked that we'd somehow entered the Twilight Zone – the vibe was more "motel" than "hotel." The staff were friendly enough, which was a definite plus. Our room was clean, for the most part, but we did notice that the spare pillows had some noticeable stains. Not a deal-breaker, but a bit disappointing. The real issue, though, was the overall atmosphere of the place. It felt deserted, like we were the only guests. The decor was straight out of a classic Western film – think tumbleweeds rolling down the sidewalk at any moment. While it had a certain quirky charm, it didn't exactly scream "luxury" or "modern amenities." If you're looking for a no-frills place to rest your head, this might be okay. However, if you're after a more hotel-like experience, you might want to look elsewhere. Perhaps a bit of renovation and some added amenities could elevate this place from motel vibes to something more impressive. For now, it's an average stop poor stay

Clean and tidy. Best of this type of hotel I’ve stayed in for the Colchester area. Hot and continental breakfast. Tables needed clearing though. Very little staff presence. Clean and basic rooms with no bad smells. Same goes for linen and towels. Easy parking. Easy route into Colchester. Very happy with my stay.

The rooms have no Air Conditioning so it was very hot and very uncomfortable to sleep. And the Road works next to the hotel ruins the mornings if you wanted lien.

The property is situated in a quiet part of the country, the staff were friendly and very helpful. the rooms were well equipped and spotlessly clean. altogether nothing but an excellent short but enjoyable stop over. Thank you.

Perfect best airport stay we have had for the price, bar and food was great, lively atmosphere and outdoor area was lovely in the sun. We went for a walk too, although would be nice to have a bit more information on what can be done in the area in the event of a layover.
