Dragonfly Hotel Colchester

Dragonfly Hotel Colchester sits at the Ardleigh junction of the A12 and A120 in Essex, roughly a ten-minute drive from the centre of Colchester.

Every bedroom has its own bathroom, a 43-inch wall-mounted Freeview TV, a Hypnos bed, USB charging points, a desk, an armchair, tea and coffee facilities and snacks to buy. The restaurant serves food throughout the day, and there is a comfortable bar and lounge.

Parking is free and WiFi is available across the property at no charge. Clacton-on-Sea is about 20 minutes by car, Colchester Zoo 15, and Harwich and Ipswich 25, so it suits drivers.
