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.
Whether you're craving a hearty breakfast, a relaxed dinner, or just a drink to unwind, our restaurant at Holiday Inn Colchester has you covered. With a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this family-friendly restaurant serves up freshly prepared classics, from full English breakfasts to satisfying evening meals.
The bar area is perfect for kicking back with a coffee, cocktail, or something from the well-stocked drinks menu, while the kids’ menu ensures little diners are happy too. Room service is also available if you fancy a cosy night in. Whether you're fuelling up for a day out in Colchester or winding down after a busy one, our restaurant and bar is the perfect spot to relax and refuel.
At Holiday Inn Colchester, we believe family meals should be stress-free (and wallet-friendly!). That’s why kids eat free when dining with a full-paying adult.
Here’s how it works: Children under 13 can enjoy a delicious meal from our special kids’ menu at no extra cost when accompanied by at least one adult ordering a main meal. Whether it's a hearty breakfast to kick-start the day or a tasty dinner after a fun-filled adventure, we’ve got the little ones covered.
So, bring the whole gang, tuck in, and enjoy a family-friendly dining experience – without the extra expense!
