"A decent hotel but nothing special. My standard room had a musty drainage type smell, windows could not be opened. Bathroom was the best quality of the room. Breakfast at £15.95 for one over priced in my opinion. Spa and Pool area was reasonably nice, towels provided. "
"Amazing staff, food of a high standard. Rooms especially windows need repainting, updating .Noisy if windows are left open. But I would highly recommend. Will be staying again."
"We had a lovely 1 night’s stay in this charming old inn, built in the early 1600’s. The staff made us feel welcome and served up a delicious full English breakfast in the morning."
"I had a really pleasant stay at The Ship. The room was compact but spotless and well-organised, with a comfy single bed, en-suite bathroom, TV, and a side cabinet stocked with tea, coffee, and biscuits—such a thoughtful touch. It had been a long time since I’d slept in a single bed, but it was surprisingly comfortable and perfect for a good night’s rest. I’d definitely stay again and would recommend it to other travellers looking for a clean, cosy spot with all the essentials.

"Fantastic proce for sunh a good quality hotel. We stayed one night because we were going to a concert in Colchester. We jumped on the train at Marks Tey, maybe 10 mins walk, and were there super quick. Very convenient. The room was really nicely furnished and clean, with some nice little touches you dont get with Premier Inn. Breakast was buffet, and perfectly fine with hot and cold choices. Parking was £8/day. Really pleased with our choice."
