10/10 Excellent
"Great find- total suprise! I chose this hotel almost by chance, mainly because it was close to the airport after a late arrival, and it turned out to be a lovely surprise. The pub is beautifully renovated, cosy and full of character, while the hotel itself is in a separate building just behind it, making it wonderfully quiet. Everything felt fresh, spotless and well maintained, and the room was comfortable and spacious enough. We unfortunately didn’t have time to explore Old Harlow, but even the little we saw had that beautiful, romantic old English atmospherelike the hotel and the pub. A very pleasant stay and an easy recommendation."

"How is this a 3-star hotel - it’s absolutely lovely. The rooms are excellent: the room was clean, spacious, very comfortable. The garden is beautiful and surrounded by fields. Wonderful buffet breakfast There for a wedding - a series of room key blunders and double bookings made it hilarious but the staff were friendly and acted quick to adjust. Faulty Towers anyone ?"
