Disliked: Amenities
Very central and close to many eating places . Hardly any hotel parking , but luckily found somewhere nearby . It’s barely a 2 star hotel. , and really does need money spent on it . However the restaurant staff had a lovely welcoming manner , and the breakfast was great.

Dated but very clean room and pretty comfortable and airy. Convenient location. We were at a seminar which started at 8.30am, so sadly missed out on the included breakfast and no option for anything else like a packed lunch. All in all, decent value for money

A hidden gem. Our room had been recently refurbished and had a comfy bed, decent tv, and a squeaky clean bathroom. The room is spacious and has new carpeting. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was freshly made to order and excellent. Great value. Would definitely stay again if ever in the area. It’s obvious that the owners take pride in their business. Oh yes, and there’s a pub attached for a nice cold one after a long days travel.

Very good value. Basic but clean accommodation, good breakfast, very convenient in the heart of South Woodham Ferrers. Minor issues: The Telly control could do with replacing and I found the room door lock fiddly to use with the key often sticking.

Nice staff, but the corridors stank and the walls were pretty thin so I could understand the full conversation that went on until 1am in the room next door
