Situated 20 minutes' walk from Colchester Castle in Britain's oldest recorded town, The Garden House will give you the perfect base, whether you are visiting for business or leisure.

The Town Centre, with high street shops, museums and wide range of restaurants and bars is also less than a mile away. The Town Railway Station, with regular connections to London Liverpool Street Station and Stratford Olympic Park, is less than half a mile away. From here you also have easy access to Constable Country, Harwich Port, Stansted Airport, Mersea Island, Essex University, the exciting new Firstsite Visual Arts Facility and Colchester Zoo.

The Garden House is a completely self-contained extension of our wonderful Victorian house.

We have lived here for over thirteen years and love the fact that we can go for a walk in the country if we drive 10 minutes down the road, yet walk to our favourite local restaurant and buy a pint of milk within five minutes' of our home.

to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If you need any more information on local facilities, please just ask.
