steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very central and close to many eating places . Hardly any hotel parking , but luckily found somewhere nearby . It’s barely a 2 star hotel. , and really does need money spent on it . However the restaurant staff had a lovely welcoming manner , and the breakfast was great.
Francis, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Pleasant stay

It’s a nice basic hotel with friendly staff in a nice area. There was tea and coffee in the room and breakfast was really nice. The best place to park was the car park at Tyler’s Ride which is a short walk away. There are lots of options nearby for food and there was a band at the hotel
Michelle, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

My room didn't have a fan in it. However, my friends did and they said they'd run out of fans. Housekeeping was annoying and kept banging on the doors, I left my fire stick there yet housekeeping claimed it wasn't there
Joseph, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Dated but very clean room and pretty comfortable and airy. Convenient location. We were at a seminar which started at 8.30am, so sadly missed out on the included breakfast and no option for anything else like a packed lunch. All in all, decent value for money

Was ok
Neil, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A hidden gem. Our room had been recently refurbished and had a comfy bed, decent tv, and a squeaky clean bathroom. The room is spacious and has new carpeting. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was freshly made to order and excellent. Great value. Would definitely stay again if ever in the area. It’s obvious that the owners take pride in their business. Oh yes, and there’s a pub attached for a nice cold one after a long days travel.
Susan, 1-night trip

Cracking stay - top breakfast too!

Great value for money and an excellent breakfast. Friendly staff too.
John P, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very good value. Basic but clean accommodation, good breakfast, very convenient in the heart of South Woodham Ferrers. Minor issues: The Telly control could do with replacing and I found the room door lock fiddly to use with the key often sticking.
Peter, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Staff friendly room ok however dirty and bedding was torn. Room overlooked what appeared to be a late night 'massage: parlour at twenty to ten on a Sunday eve we could observe a male having massage should we have chosen not to close the curtains. Brekky was good though.
Helen, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Fair

The hotel isn’t too bad but the loud noise from the bar or pub downtown is huge sleep deprivation with soundproof.
