About Brook Red Lion Hotel
Rooms at Brook Red Lion Hotel come with in-room drinks and free WiFi as standard, with a porter on hand to help with luggage and a concierge desk to sort out the rest. There are 24 rooms in total, so it's a compact set-up rather than a sprawling one, and a lift makes moving between floors straightforward.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar for meals and drinks, plus breakfast served each morning. The hotel also has an indoor swimming pool, a gym and a spa with sauna, which is more than most High Street hotels of this size offer. A garden gives some outdoor space, and there are meeting rooms for those combining business with the stay, as well as facilities for weddings. Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking is provided, which is useful given the town-centre location.
The hotel sits on Colchester's High Street, putting shops, bars and the town centre within easy reach on foot. Newton Green Golf Club lies nearby for anyone wanting a round during their stay, and Colchester Town is about 1.41 miles away for those exploring further afield.
