Didn’t like the way the switches by the bed turn all lights off. No way to have an individual light. Liked that it was quiet. Poor signage from main road.

Well worth the stay being close to the A120 & A12

A very good place to stay if visiting Colchester. Away from the City centre for rest, easily excessive to drive if required to. Personally, it was my first visit. When I to visit Colchester area again I shall stay at the Dragonfly Hotel.
