It's feeding time at the zoo!

If you have fun at Colchester Zoo, you'll love Colchester Arts Centre and Xtreme Gaming, both located nearby.

Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf and Spa

Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf and Spa

8/10 Good
"I enjoyed a solo spa day & stayed over night. The spa day was excellent, very well organised, reserved table on arrival and reserved lounger for the whole day, jacuzzi, steam room & sauna were amazing. Back and neck and shoulder massage was enjoyable and the afternoon tea was really nice. Very friendly staff, I ordered room service; beef burger and fries which was great. My room was nice, the bed was okay, but overall it was a nice overnight stay. I felt safe. The breakfast which was help yourself was lovely, I sat by the window and enjoyed the amazing views of the golf course. I will come again for the spa day"
