Lovely hotel and lovely staff but there were too many people on the Saturday afternoon when our group of ten arrived. The comfortable lounge was unavailable to us as it was reserved for a wedding and the restaurant had no indoor seating available on a very wet, cold day. We were, however, provided with hot water bottles for our stay in the terrace gazebo. Otherwise cannot fault the hotel or the staff.

We had an overnight stay at Wivenhoe, we had early drinks at the bar and Isaac was super attentive, polite and friendly. Isaac is a credit to the team and came across hard working and conscientious The room was clean and well maintained, bed was very comfy and we had a very peaceful and restful night. The grounds are beautiful we took a walk around the lake then went for more cocktails at the bar. It was an easy drive back into Colchester to see the historic castle the following day. Would highly recommend to all and would love to visit again 😍👏

We had a wonderful two night stay and would highly recommend it. Staff in all areas were exceptional and service provided was the best we've had at any hotel. Clean comfortable room, great breakfasts and the Park Brasserie provided an excellent dining experience.

We stayed here on our Ruby Wedding Anniversary as we had our wedding reception here and this was the first time we had gone back in 40 years! Staff very attentive and had sprinkled red hearts on the bed and on our dining table with little lights.The food was delicious, lovely evening meal and very good breakfast in the morning. Over all a lovely nostalgic stay for us and we will definitely return.

Excellent welcome, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, the toaster is amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. Super convenient, as I was on a course at the university that weekend.

Elisa • Family Trip

Lovely hotel on the edge of campus. Lots of atmosphere, impeccably clean rooms, and very friendly staff. After a busy week in London, the beautiful surrounds, fresh air and peace of Wivenhoe House were just perfection. We had two rooms for our party of three, both in the modern part of the hotel and both excellent. We especially enjoyed the room with a balcony overlooking the grounds. The restaurant was excellent, enjoyed dinner there as well as breakfast each morning - all just great. We didn't have a vehicle during our stay but found it easy and reasonable to get an Uber into town and to and from the train station.

Wivenhoe House Hotel was nothing short of exceptional from start to finish. Set in beautiful parkland, the hotel perfectly blends historic charm with modern luxury, creating an atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. Every member of staff went out of their way to make me feel looked after, without ever being intrusive. Dinner in the restaurant was a real highlight. The menu was beautifully curated, showcasing seasonal ingredients and creative flair. Each course was expertly presented and full of flavour—clearly the work of a talented kitchen. The ambience in the dining room added to the experience, striking just the right balance between relaxed and refined. Breakfast the following morning was equally impressive. There was a generous selection to choose from, with both continental options and perfectly cooked hot dishes. Everything was fresh, high quality, and served with the same attentive care we experienced the night before. The room itself was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, with lovely views of the surrounding grounds—making it very easy to unwind and enjoy the peaceful setting.
