It was on the small side, but big enough with all the facilities required. What we particularly liked was the french windows opening onto a small seating area, beyond which was the carpark. We used this as our main entrance and exit to the room. Very convenient. We can imagine this being very pleasant in the summer. The marina also benefited from a cafe/bar on site, serving simple pub food and breakfasts. ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janette 14 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close proximity to the train station which was essential for our onward travel to Stansted . The staff were friendly , the rooms, although slightly dated , were spotless & the bed comfortable. The location was really pretty being on the River Stort . We made use of the onsite cafe / bar. then took an evening stroll along the river bank . It would have suited us to have breakfast in the cafe but it was closed the following morning for a deep clean , which just shows cleanliness of the place . There was nothing not to like . We hope to stay again . ![Overlooking the marina from the cafe](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6d4e94b0-2efc-47c0-b677-653d1ecb9b00-1757826386581.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Janette Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louis 28 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was all very nice.

Highly recommended. ##### MING KEE Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric 27 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Had a choice between this motel, which was a little out of the way, or a motorway chain. This did take extra time from the M11, but was it ever worth it. Roydon could be straight out of Thomas the Tank Engine, the railway is right there (but not too noisy), you can walk to the little station, a canal on your doorstep, two very decent pubs, a coffee bar for sandwich or coffee in the marina. Staff were friendly, unit was clean and looked purpose built and not that old, room and bathroom very large by UK standard. It did take a bit to get the room warmed up in late Dec, but maybe didn't understand the heating. Roydon is a very little station - lots of trains through, but not many stop. To go to London you want to go backwards one stop up to Harlow, about five minutes by train, then lots of fast choice every few minutes from there to Stansted, London, and Cambridge. Just note trains stopping at Roydon end early and are lots frequent - you can drive to Harlow station easily but all the usual station problems of crowding and limited parking, so take the little train there if you can. Overall really good, a nice change from places with no soul. And where else could you sit beside a canal in a modern room with your car steps away, all in a quiet village with easy parking, and still hop a train into London in 30 minutes? And a shoutout to the New Inn pub on the high street - what a perfect small pub with fantastic staff and locals that love life. The White Hart may be good too. ##### Eric Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### MELVIN 6 May 2025 Could not order food from restaurant after 7:30 pm.
