"Lovely positive and friendly welcome, very relaxed atmosphere"

10.0

The friendly welcome and service throughout. Lovely quirky-ness to the room Lots of space in our room Breakfast was delicious Locality- very short walk to the Witham to see our show

Only negative would be the bed was noisy in that it squeaked every time one of us turned over but the bed design and floorboards were part of the feeling of this building. Wouldn’t put me off staying again

"Gorgeous pub and room"

10.0

Great room, felt like a suite with lots of room for our dogs and the dog beds.Great breakfast, lovely staff.

All good but if i had to be picky then a little difficult booking in as very busy and we had several bags and dogs so tight on space and breakfast was done in shifts so we missed our 1st breakfast as we were told it would be 8:30 which was just too early for us.

"Good value for money"

8.0

The room was fine, bed comfortable and the shower was good with decent water pressure. A very good well-cooked breakfast was provided - overall good value for money.

Nothing really.
