The building is amazing! Great for a late night drink after a wedding. Breakfast was good. There is an antiques centre just behind the pub which is great for a browse. The omlette was a bit poor

Comfortable bed and good sized room. Breakfast and evening meal were good. However, our stay was marred by the in insistant thumping overloud disco music coming from the bar immediately below us which went on until must midnight. We will not be staying again.

Lovely old building-loads of character. One of the windows would not close because of a broken catch. No heating was on in the room and we found it very cold .

The shower in Room 2 is outstanding. I have never experienced power like it! The breakfast was good. The sheets were crisp and fresh and the bed was comfortable. This hotel is exceptionally noisey on a Saturday night. We arrived back from our evening out, at 11.30pm and the car park (very small) was full of cars (so we had to park elsewhere) - and full of people who were outside smoking and being rowdy. I stayed in room 2 and the noise coming up from the bar was unbelievable; I could hear tops coming off beer bottles. This went on until 1am. The other family members were above the conference centre and that was just has disturbed, by the people in the car park. I mentioned this to the staff on checking out and they said that all the rooms are noisey. To be fair, the website points out that there are functions every weekend but I did not expect it to be quite so bad.

We liked the location of the hotel and for the price thought it was excellent value for money. The breakfast was very good as other reviews have stated. We ate our evening meal at The Bull and this also was very Good value for money. As a previous review says there is a constant noise of what sounds like a large extractor fan which is irritating though not bad enough to interrupt our nights sleep.

Good value pub/hotel with central small town location. Car parking good. Food fair, and reasonably priced. Ideal for business stay-over or touring in Essex. Room (in block) clean but could do with up-dating.

We loved the location of the hotel, pretty little village/town, the old style of the room, with beams etc was nice, and the breakfast was lovely the next morning, lots of choice and cooked really well. Good value for money The bathroom let it down, the toilet was so close to the wall, that you had to sit sideways on it!! The bathroom really does need a bit of decoration, not looking for luxury at the price it was, but it could have been a bit cleaner as well

Loved the building from the historic point of view. Food good, staff polite and efficient. . Bedroom was 'tired' and in need of some tlc '. One real negative was the incessant background electric pump type noise which was not condusive to a good nights sleep. This matter was raised with the receptionist on checking out.

“It's really nice to find a pub that still has it's original character and hasn't been taken over by a big chain and 'standardised'. I was literally just using it as a bed for the night, but should I need to visit tha area again, I would definitely stay at the Dog and sample some of their fab range of beers. The landlord was really friendly and welcoming, and was happy to cook me whatever I wanted for breakfast - which was yum!” Carolyn, Cambridge |
