Fantastic hotel! Beautifully decorated in a modern style, but still retaining the charm of the original building. Room was nice with a comfy bed however the hotel had run out of hand soap - good thing we had antibac gel! We enjoyed pre dinner drinks in the secret courtyard and post dinner drinks in the bar. Breakfast was tasty but would have liked a better selection. Nonetheless would definitely return if I’m in the area!

I booked two rooms for myself and my parents for my local wedding and we had an amazing stay! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious with a lovely big bathroom and it had a really luxurious feel to it. Just a small thing but there was no hook on the door or around the room and it would have been handy for hanging up my wedding dress but I used the wardrobe instead. Breakfast was served in such a beautiful room with a very relaxed atmosphere and it was really tasty. When we stayed there was a bit of a staff shortage for breakfast time which we were warned about due to some having to self-isolate so with that being considered the service was surprisingly speedy. Overall we had a wonderful stay which was just what we needed in the run-up to the big day - thanks so much!

Great stay as usual

We came as a group of 6 walking The Essex Way and this was just off route and a perfect spot to stay the night. We also ate in the restaurant but there was other places around if required. Reviews don’t do the hotel justice. It’s old yes but that’s it’s charm! Checked in no problems and then went to the bar for drinks. We had a table booked for dinner but decided to have food earlier and stayed in the bar which wasn’t a problem. Reasonable price for food and drink. Our room was nice. A bit disappointed to find the bin had rubbish in it (an empty plastic bottle of medicine\tablets) but was too tired to complain/move. Then during the night the temperature became unbearable for us and even tho the heating had gone off we were roasting! Opened the windows which meant we heard the fan from the kitchen area but that was actually ok as it took away from any noise in the hotel. Might of been different if the kitchen was in use etc? Breakfast was nice, just a bit slow. And one of our party wanted yoghurt but they didn’t have any - covid was given as the reason but I think they had enough notice for reopening to get some in but heyho. Check out was simple. Job done All in all we enjoyed our short but sweet stay and would definitely recommend and we will revisit if ever back that way!

Live this place and this is the 2nd week. One thing was the internet which kept disconnecting and making it difficult to watch streaming media. This was probably due to the staff wifi using overlapping channel 5
