We recently stayed at the Castellan for 6 weeks while working in the UK. Everything about the home was just fantastic - the location is ideal (truly a 3-minute walk from High Street and under 5 minutes to Colchester Castle and the beautiful Castle Park), and the house itself perfectly met our needs with lots of space and great amenities! The landlord and his wife were also incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. We hope to make another trip to Colchester in the future and would absolutely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Castellan, a very clean, cosy and comfortable property, with everything you could possibly need. The owner was very friendly and helpful when he showed us around - the bottle of bubbly was a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely return, having family to visit in Colchester it is just so handy, 2 minutes walk to the High Street! Definitely recommend this place! So quiet as well!

Me and my partner spent 8 nights at Castellan. As soon as we arrived I was warmly welcomed by Youseph. He shown me over the flat and I must admit he is very friendly and helpful, also he was very flexible with the check in time which I am very grateful. In the fridge we found a champagne and the kitchen was well equipted. The flat was really tidy and clean. The area is very quite but at the same time very close to city center. We enjoyed our time very much and we will come back soon ;)
Very clean and beautiful place. I will come back every time. Go and spend your holliday at this place. Is perfect for family

We decided to stay in the property as we were attending a Family wedding in Colchester. It was more cost effective to use Castellan as a base rather than pay for two nights hotel accommodation. I travelled with my Mum and Dad, my husband and two children age 2 and 7.
We found the property fairly easily (using Google maps)although my dad had a different sat nav and was sent round Colchester!) We arrived at the property and had a lovely warm welcome from the owners who showed us around the property and how to find and use everything.
Left in the fridge was a bottle of Cava - what a lovely touch.
The property has two double bedrooms and a sofa bed. They also have a travel cot, which they set up for us and provided all the linen. The rooms were of a lovely size - there was plenty of storage, so cases could be unpacked.
Lots of nice hot water too! A bonus when we were all getting ready for the wedding.
There was enough parking outside the property for two cars and Colchester town centre was only a few minutes walk away. I didnt appreciate how near it was!
The park next door is worth a visit - it has a fantastic children's playground. We also visited the wonderful Colchester Zoo whilst there.
We catered for ourselves and found the property had everything we needed.
I would defintely recommend the property - and will probably be back!
Youseph and his wife are very friendly and communication was very prompt and they were extremely helpful.
Thank you!
