The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The atmosphere was so quaint. It felt luxurious while still being reasonably priced. Overall it was an amazing experience! The restaurant was so accomodating, and the food was delicious! We will absolutely stay here again!

Lovely kind host and very accommodating with me arriving one hour earlier than expected. Very quiet environment with a very comfortable bed. Excellent value for money too.

Never having visited Braintree before, I was pleasantly surprised to find it interesting to walk round, spacious yet with shopping alleys to wander down, and with friendly service in pubs and shops. The only downside was what appeared to be a distinct shortage of places besides The White Hart to go for an evening meal.

A pleasant, pedestrian friendly town centre offering plenty of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. It has a fine Town Hall, library and museum telling of Braintree's past. A little way out of town is the Freeport Shopping Village and the town is conveniently placed to visit the neighbouring towns of Colchester and Chelmsford.

Food fresh & good choice.
Delicious cooked breakfast - very good value.
Rooms accessed via stairs - no lift - difficult for guests with mobility problems.
We are booking another stay end of November to visit the Christmas Market & enjoy the facilities again.

Braintree town has a good selection of cafe’s and pubs but is sadly lacking in retail outlets and late night entertainment.
It’s a good central position for exploring the area but you’ll definitely need a car because the local bus service isn’t very regular,

I actually come from Braintree so I know it well.
I actually come from Braintree so I know it well. Theres not many good shops in the town centre anymore but theres a retail area called the Braintree Village which is worth a visit and they have lots of shops there.
There is a wonderful eatery place called Toast in the town centre which I can recommend though. They make yummy toasted sandwiches and fancy stuff.

Interesting market town, very pedestrian friendly offering all the usual high street brands. Local museum and library good to visit with Freeport Retail Park located within 15 minute walk from town centre.
My family and I had a great experience at the Holiday Inn Express in Braintree. To begin with, the staff at the front desk and in the breakfast area was exceptional: very professional, kind and helpful. The rooms were very modern and clean. And the breakfast was excellent with quite a variety of breakfast foods and beverages. Great way to start our day! I would highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express to anyone visiting the Braintree area.
Lovely hotel with an immediate feeling of “space” as soon as you entered through the glass doors. Very friendly and helpful staff (the receptionist even came up to my room the following day to help me zip up my outfit I was wearing for a wedding!). I really enjoyed my stay as I felt very comfortable, safe and welcome which is important being a solo traveller.
Lovely B&B, squeaky clean and beautiful decor. Comfy beds and fab bathrooms with great showers and piping hot water. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Fab restaurant and great outside seating area. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Will definitely go back when back down in Essex. Thank you The Onley for a perfect stay.
central location in Braintree suited us but if you want peace and quiet then you should consider that aspect. everything you need is in the hotel, meals were good, staff lovely. we took our three dogs and the hotel were very accommodating
The room was lovely. The staff were exceptional, very attentive, polite and personable. We stayed because the hotel had been recommended by the Wedding venue, it was closest to where we needed to be and its a lovely little village.
Clean hotel. Bathrooms are a bit dated and could do with a refit but all in all it was fine for 1 night. Staff exceptional and also the buffet breakfast
