Black Buoy Inn

Location good, nice cosy pub, room had everything we needed.

Parking is tricky, there are only two spaces at the rear of the beer garden

Really comfortable bed! Friendly staff

The stairs are quite steep and wouldn't suit some less agile guests.

This is a fabulous little inn right in the heart of the oldest part of the village of Wivenhoe, a few steps from the waterfront. The room is full of character with centuries-old features, but modern electrics, wifi etc. Staff very welcoming and helpful.

Lovely staff, great room, location and bar - very enjoyable stay

Would have been nice to be able to have breakfast there

The restaurant food was excellent. Shame about the total lack of breakfast in our Bed & Breakfast stay.

It is an old property and the stairs up to the bedroom are not for the faint hearted. They are very steep and uneven. It is what you'd expect from an old inn but this was not made clear by Booking.com Just poor communication I guess. The B&B entrance has a large sign on the outside door with states 'Bed and Breakfast Entrance'. But Booking.com don't make clear that there is no one available in the morning to make or serve breakfast and so breakfast is not included. A 'bed only' accommodation. It would have been ok had we known. Lack of fairly basic information by Booking.com. I'll try to avoid them in future and go Booking.direct
