About
Tucked away in the charming village of Eight Ash Green, just a stone’s throw from Colchester’s buzzing town centre, Holiday Inn Colchester is your go-to for a stay that’s as comfy as it is convenient. Right off the A12, this spot is a dream for road trippers, giving you easy access to London, Ipswich, and beyond.
With 110 rooms ranging from cosy standard options to family-friendly and even dog-friendly spaces, there’s a perfect fit for everyone. Think free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and tea & coffee making essentials – because what’s a morning without caffeine?
Hit up our restaurant for a hearty breakfast or a relaxed dinner – all served in a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, where kids eat free. Fancy a lazy night in? Room service has got you covered. And if you just want to unwind with a drink, the bar is ready to pour you something refreshing. Cheers to that!
Wellness warriors, rejoice! The on-site You Fit Health Club is packed with perks – a fully-equipped gym, an indoor pool, a sauna, a hot tub, and a steam room. Whether you’re after a workout or just a well-earned chill session, you’ll find it all here.
Families, you’re in for a treat – kids stay and eat free! (Yep, you read that right.) Under-18s stay for nada when sharing a family room, and under-13s munch for free from the kids' menu when dining with a paying adult. Oh, and there’s a play area outside, complete with a climbing frame. Good luck getting them to leave!
