Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Chris
I’ve lived in the Colchester area for many years and know it well — from the quiet shortcuts to the best places to eat, relax, or explore. I love hosting and take pride in creating a space where guests feel welcome, comfortable, and cared for. Whether you're here for work, family, or a bit of both, I enjoy helping guests have a smooth, memorable stay and am always happy to share local tips if you need them.
Why they chose this property
I chose this area because it offers the best of both worlds — a quiet, residential setting with easy access to the hospital, city centre, stadium, and Castle Park. It’s a peaceful place to unwind after a busy day, and a great base for exploring Colchester and nearby villages. Staying in the centre can be noisy and harder for parking, but here you can enjoy calm evenings while still being just minutes from everything that makes Colchester special.
What makes this property unique
Thoughtful balance of comfort, privacy, and flexibility. It’s one of the closest full homes to Colchester General Hospital, yet it’s tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood with free parking, fast Wi-Fi, and space to truly settle in. With four bedrooms, dedicated workspaces, a private garden terrace, and hotel-level touches like blackout blinds and luxury bathrooms, it’s designed for real-life stays — whether you’re visiting for work, family, or recovery.
