It's an old place, even a capital for some tribes before the Romans re-named it ...

Is the name of the city/place well-known, like Wales?
I just "googled" up Colchester. Am I close?

Wales is part of the UK as is England (and Scotland and Northern Ireland).

It's not Colchester ...

... it's (a lot) more to the left/west.

It's connected to the sea via a channel and has a port (nowadays for small boats only).

It's the capital of a county and has a rather famous Norman cathedral - the hotel is situated actually at the "Cathedral Yard" ...
