Ease of parking Nobody there upon arrival so check-in over phone which worked ok but was a little strange
- Stacey (10/5): -
- Hannah (10/5): Wonderful stay. Added extra people for breakfast ho we’re not staying at the hoot. Nothing was a - Beautiful hotel. Staff are exceptional and very
Attentive to your requirements. Recommend highly. Could have a little more parking spaces
- Holbrook (10/5): -
- jean (10/5): Lovely hotel, first class food - Food outstanding Nothing
- Barbara (10/5): -
- Michele (8/5): Lovely short break - Lovely hotel, friendly staff and the food is amazing. Drinks are very expensive. Cooked breakfast isn’t served every day - only Wednesday to Sunday - with Continental style on Monday and Tuesday.
- Scott (7/5): Overall a nice stay - Nice property, restaurant and staff A little noisy in room
- PAUL (10/5): - Amazing staff Nothing
- Roberts (10/5): -

Good amazing.
Lovely hotel and facilities Nothing
No issues at all
- Sharon (9/5): Great hotel, friendly staff and beautiful food, will definitely stay every time I’m in the Heybridge area. - Great location for my meeting, literally round the corner. Lovely Classic Room, bar and restaurant was beautifully laid out and the staff were very friendly, Peter and James particularly so! The meal was stunning, my starter was seared scallops with chorizo jam and fried chorizo and my main was spring lamb, sautéed potatoes with a pea and mint jus, cooked to my taste and it was delicious! 😋😋
Had a lovely stay and even popped back to have a coffee with a colleague, as our meeting was delayed and the staff were very accommodating and friendly… the cleaners stopped hoovering, so they didn’t disturb us and said they’d polish instead! Great place and will definitely stay again! The only downside was that in the morning, when someone elsewhere in the building was showering, the pipes in my bathroom (room 3) were very noisy, thankfully I always have earplugs so it wasn’t such a big deal but I’d certainly have been disturbed had I not had them in.
- Michael (10/5): - There was nothing i can I could fault. I have no complaints whatsoever.
- Hen (10/5): -
- Thomas (9/5): Recommend this place. Great beds. - Lovely rooms and lovely staff. Bathroom window did not open, left the room a little stuffy.
- Angie (5/5): -
- Charlene (10/5): Amazing! - The staff were exceptional! First class service.
- kevin (9/5): -
- tayler (10/5): Perfect little hotel and location, very welcoming and friendly staff would really recommend - Property was a lovely little boutique hotel the staff were so welcoming and lovely and couldn’t do enough for you it was a very lovely 1 night stay Nothing
- william (8/5): - Excellent Room a little small
- Kirsty (6/5): - Very clean and the staff very friendly. Coffee and tea making facilities included, nice touch. I bed was very uncomfortable, was too late (after 11pm) and felt could not change rooms so late as to waking other residents. Bathroom could do with being more modern.
- John (10/5): A lovely stay in a delightful hotel - We very much enjoyed our brief stay here. Our room was cosy and comfortable and the hotel is in a very peaceful location. The breakfast room was delightful, with natural light flooding in, and the staff were super friendly! We even got given some extra pastries to sustain us on our homeward journey :)
- P4TCJ (6/5): Disappointing - Small functional double room. .Breakfast good . Returned as had had a pleasant stay some time ago. Self check in particularly disliked. Was first to arrive and was apparent from several other room keys left out that occupancy was low. Nothing so unwelcoming as a very silent empty hotel. No mention on booking that no bar or restaurant on Monday and Tuesday
- Liam (10/5): -
- David (9/5): -
- John (8/5): -
- Jason (9/5): Great value, Incredible restaurant with exceptional service - Wonderful service, great food offering for both evening meal and breakfast, a really well stocked bar and lovely environment. In fact, brilliant service The only reason I've scored 9 and not 10 was that My room had a rather old and creaky bed, and single glazing roadside window that made it a little noisy.
- Lorraine (10/5): - Excellent service especially from Emma,lovely breakfast. Room 6 is far too small though
- Hilary (9/5): - Very helpful obliging staff.
Room was comfortable and well equipped.
The breakfast choice was good and it was well cooked.
We also enjoyed our dinner very much. The stairs were very steep. It was OK for me but some elderly visitors might find it a problem.
- Karen (8/5): after a week of staying in mediocre hotels, my last stay of the week was Le Bouchon, such a bonus. - I was staying in Maldon for work and Le Bouchon was excellent comfortable, food excellent along with the service.. Nothing

- Rozanne (10/5): Booked 10 mins before we arrived due to a let down of the other place we were meant to stay.

- Mark (9/5): - Service, room and restaurant
- Jane (10/5): A very special place to stay - Very enjoyable breakfast and a beautiful bubbly hostess. Nothing
- nicola (9/5): Relaxed break - the hotel had such a lovely feel about it - nothing was too much trouble for the staff i think it was just an unlucky night to eat at the restaurant - it seem overly busy which caused a big delay in us recieving our food - we waited nearly 50 minutes for starters, an hour for mains - my lobster was overcooked (with parpadelle) and was very chewy. we ordered drinks and then had to chase the barman

- Julian (7/5): -
- Graeme (9/5): Wonderful - All the staff were genuinely very friendly and welcoming, food was fabulous too. Stylish hotel, lots of thought put into decor and ambience. Well done. The only weakness was the bedroom size, meaning the double bed was pushed into the corner, so only accessible from one side.

A London dining experience that would be hard to better, in perfect surroundings.
We enjoyed the boat trip that was provided at a very reasonable cost. Our room was rather tight for space, and only two single power points although an extension reel was provided on request. I’d take an adapter next time.
Please be aware that on Sundays the restaurant and bar are closed in the evenings - we weren’t.

The staff in particular are what makes this property exceptional The bed in our room was on the small side and there was no where to sit other than on the bed.
There are no lifts
- Carys (10/5): -
- O'Mahony (5/5): - Decor nice. Breakfast decent. Thin walls. Listened to snoring next door most of the night. Desperately needs sound reduction panels or something.
No lift. Small stairs
- Susan (9/5): Fabulous ! - Staff were fabulous and couldn’t do enough for you :)
Parking - free no fuss parking was great :)
Breakfast was lovely , plenty of choice and nice relaxing start to the day
The hotel was quiet and we didn’t have to wait around to order breakfast ….lovey breakfast room ….so quiet with gentle music (not the usual loud modern music where you can’t hear yourself think !
The rooms we were given (1 and 2 ) were fabulous :)
No children ! Expensive as we only used the room from 8pm - 10/11 am (we were out all day until 8/9 pm

- Nicola (9/5): - A very warm and welcoming overnight stay. All staff I met, from check in to evening meal and breakfast were very friendly and professional. The food was excellent and I felt very comfortable as a lone diner. I highly recommended the restaurant to others I met in Maldon over the weekend. Steep stairs up to my room on the second level, however this cannot be helped with such old charming buildings.
- Jessica (8/5): Staff were super friendly especially at breakfast. Lovely stay comfortable -
- Tsuyoshi (8/5): -
- Kelly (8/5): - Nice place, looks recently refurbished as rooms were very comfortable, new carpets etc.

This room costs £215 per night!
