Dedham Vale, England hotel rooms at the Independent

"Lovely hotel and nice pool steam sauna.. just not near any shops etc "

"Comfortable spacious rooms with large double bed. Everything for an overnight stay, coffee on the terrace, good evening meal in the restaurant and a lovely pre-breakfast swim in quite a large swimming pool with sauna and jacuzzi available. Overall an enjoyable and restful stay with friendly staff.."

"Great place "

"The spa facilities were really great and created a great opportunity for the family to spend time together. Really appreciated the hotel faciltating our family of 4 to stay in a junior suite even though we were 4. The room was clean and spacious and was a real break for us! Only thing was breakfast wasa bit expensive for us as it the resaurant seemed to be managed separately. All in all really lovely!"

"Excellent food, room, immaculate, even had air con. Would have no hesitation in recommending it and we would definitely stay there again."

"Lovely stay here for a local wedding."

"This is a great hotel for a short stay in Colchester. A very good breakfast, large rooms, and the location is great if you want to explore Colchester (right by the castle and park). "

"Lovely location on Hythe Quay"
