This was great stay, super food, outstanding accommodation, great showers, warm and cosy on a cold night. Just one little hiccup, no welcome,how are you? where have you come from, just here is your key, though we were shown to our room

Great for a 1 night stop-over as convenient to explore East Essex with its quaint & pretty villages such as Battlesbridge, Burnham on Crouch. Also areas of interest like RHS Hyde Hall, Stow Maries Great war museum, Essex Wildlife Trust

Great Place at the end of the road
Staff were fantastic could not do enough for you, food was very good, only slight issue the window in the bedroom door needs a curtain to stop the security light coming in to the room at night.

A real gem
A real gem. Superb setting and a welcoming sight. The Inn, staff, service and accommodation were excellent. Chose the Inn as we were visiting family locally. Obviously a great deal of time and money spent on developing such a lovely property. I cannot recommend it more highly. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Excellent find, tucked away
Warm welcome, arriving just a few minutes before the kitchen closed was no problem and a lovely meal was promptly served. Location is very quiet so a good nights sleep. Room looked very new and was well appointed. Good quality monsoon shower over bath. EXCELLENT breakfast - when does thick slice bacon become gammon?? This must have been borderline, it was superb!

The setting was nice, the b&b looked good on the outside, but the room which was an accessible room was not so comfortable. No bath, just an accessible shower which does not for comfort make, furthermore the shower was cold in the morning too which did not make for a good impression. We were not the only ones with a cold shower, friends also staying, had a cold shower too.

Fantastic
I was really surprised by this accommodation. It looked brand new. It did say recently refurbished, but it was exactly that. I arrived very late at 11pm but they had left me a continental breakfast as I had to leave at 7:30am the next day. I thought this was really helpful. The location was really quiet and I reckon lovely during the summer being so close to the river and the boats. I would have no hesitation staying here again.
