My girlfriend and I stayed at Charlie Brown's for 2 weeks at the end of July during a course we were taking at the nearby University and we couldn't have been happier. Jane and Jonathan were kind and helpful hosts. Jane in particular was a wealth of information regarding our later travels to London and beyond and always willing to... more

I have just returned from a business trip to Colchester in Essex, during which time I stayed in just about the best B & B I have ever experienced. In every aspect from my original enquiry via email, to booking and staying in CHARLIE BROWN'S ~ everything was absolutely First Class. Located in a lovingly restored half-timbered medieval building, only... more

Dear Jane and John. Thank you for making me feel so much at home. The Mulberry room was delightful and I loved the adjoining shower room - it was so contemporary for such an ancient building. But it was just right! The big bed was comfortable and the small fridge a nice extra, apart from the tea making equipment. The... more

This is a lovely quirky hotel where the owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make it nice. There are lots of nice touches like a fridge in the room, nice shampoo & toiletries etc However the hotel is on a very busy road which can be quite noisy 7 the curtains don't make the rooms dark enough... more

This trip was part leisure, part business for me, lesiure for my wife. It was easy to find by car, although the parking was limited and quite awkward if you did not know where to turn in. Mulberry room for two nights, was perfect, the breakfast was first class, with a great restaurant (Old Seige House) only about 50 metres... more

For business reasons we stayed three weeks in the four-poster room and the third room and had a really good time! Both rooms are lovely. The four-poster room of course is a little bit more special thanks to its bigger size and its very special bed. Both rooms were really well equipped and have their own bathroom. Everything necessary to... more

We stayed in the four-poster room which was very spacious and well-equipped. It was helpful to have a bar fridge. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and our hosts provided different options: full English breakfast, eggs and bacon or cereals, fruit and yogurt depending on what we wanted. The hostess is a lovely person who is... more

I have stayed here several times over the last year, and stayed in both of the rooms, The more expensive room is definitely worth the extra money as it has every thing you could wish for, including fresh milk in the mini fridge. The B&B is a renovated mediaeval building and the decor is modern but compliments the original building... more

We stayed in the four-poster room which had every facility you could think of, from a hairdryer and kettle to an iron, mini fridge, fan and dvd player. The room was extremely comfortable and very tastefully decorated. It had lovely exposed beams and gently sloping floors but was modern and clean. The owners were very friendly and helpful about getting... more
