Accommodation In Essex

Submitted by: Paul Sage

The Best Western Atlantic Hotel is a new breed of hotel. It has evolved to incorporate the best of a traditional hotel, yet it has enough forward looking ideas to allow it to both look and feel modern, yet homely.

The primary objective of the staff is to provide their customers with the most efficient, reliable and professional service available, while retaining the personal touch of a traditional hotel.

When you enter the Atlantic Hotel for the first time, you will be amazed by the amount of natural light that is maintained in the lobby. The smart and stylish surroundings provide a warm, comfortable welcome to your stay, and a “wish I didn’t have to leave so soon” feeling to your departure.

The Atlantic abolishes the divide between the Corporate Hotel and Family Hotel to allow you to feel at home whether you are staying for business or pleasure purposes.

To help you remain active during your stay, they are sited next door to top-class fitness suite, Fitness First, which is available for you to use free of charge.

Also part of the Best Western group and a fine example of the quality accommodation in Essex available is The Rose and Crown Hotel. Dating back to the 14th century, the hotel is a beautiful oak timber framed building situated in the bustling, historic town of Colchester.

Lovingly restored over the years the hotel is an ideal base for both the business and leisure traveller. You can sit back and enjoy a glass of wine in front of a roaring fire in the Tudor bar or go for a lazy walk in the nearby panoramic Constable Country.

The hotel is conveniently located close to Colchester town centre and the A12, less than an hours drive from Stansted Airport and 40 minutes from the Port of Harwich. Central London is 45 minutes by train and the idyllic city of Cambridge is only one hour drive away.

Licensed for wedding ceremonies, The Rose and Crown Hotel can accommodate guests from 10 to 150 people for your wedding breakfast and up to 200 people for your Evening reception. Their friendly and professional team will be on hand to guarantee that your day will be a truly memorable and enjoyable one for both you and your guests.

Moving now to a different type of accommodation in Essex, Dairy House Farm Bed and Breakfast is a 700 acre arable and fruit farm. The house is set in the middle of the farm with views of the countryside in every direction. The farmhouse was extended in 1876 into a wonderfully spacious home with large rooms and much typical Victorian ornamentation.

The two en-suite bedrooms are warm and spacious and each has 19 inch colour televisions with freeview and DVD, and also a drinks tray with an array of teas, coffee and hot chocolate on offer. Fresh flowers, bathrobes, clock radios and comfortable chairs are also in the rooms as well as other little extras to make your stay as home from home” as possible. Wi-Fi is also available.

Although the house has a completely rural setting, it s just a twenty minute stroll to an excellent pub and shop in the village of Bradfield and just one hour by train to London (Liverpool Street) from Manningtree station which is approximately 5 miles away.

Dairy House is an ideal stepping stone to the Continent via the Harwich (Parkeston Quay) ferries, or a comfortable base for touring our county or indeed Suffolk. There are many places of interest to visit during your stay and they have lots of tourist information for guests to browse through. Guests are also welcome to borrow detailed maps of the surrounding area during their stay and long term parking is also available for those going on cruises etc. from Harwich at 2 per day.

There are lots of excellent eating places local to Dairy House Farm, both restaurants (Italian, Chinese, Indian and English) and pubs, all within a 15 minute drive and sample menus of most of them available for their guests to look at.

This is just a small taster of the accommodation in Essex that awaits you, and rest assured, once you have visited our historic and picturesque county you are sure to return.
