The Jasmine Room  

Tucked in the village of Great Bentley just outside Colchester, this family-friendly bed & breakfast sits next to Great Bentley Cricket Club. It’s a short drive to Beth Chatto Garden and the University of Essex, and within easy reach of St. Osyth and Clacton-on-Sea beaches and local attractions.

Housed in a Grade II-listed building, rooms are warmly decorated and feel cozy with satellite TV and bathrobes. Some rooms feature a Spa bath and garden views. Expect a charming, slightly quirky B&B vibe with picnic areas and a small playroom for kids.

Wake up to garden views and take advantage of on-site recreation: an outdoor tennis court, table tennis, karaoke and an aquapark. Family extras include a playroom and babysitting. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, a bar/lounge, concierge services and free self-parking keep stays easy and social.

Computer station, express check-in and express check-out and a 24-hour front desk. Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking make short business trips straightforward.

A complimentary breakfast is included to kick off the day. Wrap up evenings with a drink in the bar/lounge or explore nearby beachside and village eateries.
