"Perfectly suited our needs."

8.0

Private. Clean. Homely. Nice to have breakfast options in the room. A small problem with the electric was sorted swiftly and staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Great food in the pub. Very close to Colchester so very convenient but lovely to be in a rural setting away from the city.

The noise from the road first thing but this is not something that can be helped and is really only during the morning rush hour.

Excellent comfortable accommodation. Breakfast cereals, yogurts, tea and coffee provided. Pub food was excellent and reasonably priced. Nice pub with good beer garden. Good parking - own private space for the accommodation.

We had an amazing stay it is like home from home in a very quiet location despite being attached to the pub. I will definitely book here again when I next travel to the area

All I would suggest is a squeegee wet room broom as the shower is at the door and the toilet is the end of the room meaning that you have to walk across a wet floor to use the toilet and sink after a shower
