Black Buoy Inn

The pub is well located, the room cosey and the staff very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the Hygge book left in the room-good to be reminded of the value of enjoying the pleasures of every day life.

It would have been nice to have been able to have breakfast.

The room was very well presented and had good facilities.

The booking.com website indicates that this is a B&B booking but the reality is it's a room only booking. Luckily we were visiting family so they could supply the breakfast.

The location and the friendly staff

It did not provide breakfast but we were told about that in advance.

The property is in an excellent location, very close to the river. It’s clean, comfortable and has everything needed for a short stay.

The pub no longer offers breakfast, and it’s difficult to find anywhere that’s open in the village before 10.00am.

Lovely place to stay in Wivenhoe

All of the staff and the pub landlord were absolutely lovely, getting us settled and offering great local advice and information. The area is absolutely lovely with a lovely riverfront just next door onto the Colne, featuring great walks all the way from Colchester and out to the estuary too. The pub itself is great, with a wide variety of local ales and beers and great food in the evening. It's a shame they don't serve brekkie in the pub, but don't worry; brekkie is available just up the road at the Wivenhoe Cafe & Art Gallery on Alma Street. The pub also has great live music in the evening with a range of events throughout the year - check out their website to know what's on. Also, Wivenhoe itself is absolutely lovely and well worth an escape and explore to!

Honestly, not much to fault the place on at all, I would recommend the place entirely! If I were to say anything, I'd say add some herbal teas to the in-room tea selection :P
