Independent in Colchester from AU$89

"Everything about this stay was wonderful: check in was quick and friendly, dinner was really tasty, the room was very clean and new, the pillows and bed were comfortable, and the breakfast was fabulous with lots of protein and gluten free options! The only thing of note is that is it not close to town so a car is beneficial as it is a bit of an expensive Uber ride. "

"The room was fabulous, and really appreciated the birthday perks so a big thank you! The staff were polite, kind and incredibly helpful! Loved the spa time. Overall super pleased with my stay! "

"We had a very friendly welcome and after that the staff were always smiling and helpful. The room was lovely, looking out onto the courtyard, and clean. The radiator in the bathroom wasn't working (we were offered a different room but declined as we'd already unpacked) and handrails in the bath would have been helpful but we managed. They are clearly gearing up for Christmas and the tree in reception was beautifully decorated. The hotel itself is 14th-century, quirky and full of character and history, just as we like it, so we had a very happy stay and plan to return one day."

"Great stay at the Dragonfly hotel. The staff are friendly and always helpful. The room was clean and tidy. We look forward to our next visit."
