Nice stay great location

Great location and comfortable room, but our room was a bit tired. Didn't appreciate being woken up around 6am with the bins being emptied outside below our window. We would definitely stay again but ask for a different room.

Great overnight stop.

Lovely rest stop. Nice to have a private chalet away from the pub and noise. Continental breakfast was amazing which was included. Upgrade to full English for £10.50. My husband said it was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Close to Audley End which is why we chose it.

Great value & friendly staff

second visit to friendly, comfortable pub. Traveling on my own, I booked a twin room but on arrival I was offered a free upgrade to a king room. Very comfortable & although situated near the outside drinking area, being October there were not any late night drinkers. I was offered a table in either the bar or restaurant for my evening meal. The menu covers all options & the specials were also appealing. Excellent food & service from friendly staff. Sunday breakfast was from 9am however I wanted to be off by 8.45am. Although hot food was not available I was offered my pick of the pastries, fruit etc. Great value for money & friendly place to stay.

Room was too hot. Disappointing that the breakfast included in the room rate was not a cooked breakfast. Inflexible management.
