Nice pub hotel for quick stop over. Well coated with numerous pubs/restaurants close by and a large Asda for other bits. Pub was busy night I stayed but noise wasn’t too bad. Friendly people and a good atmosphere. Will use again.

2 points that's where a niggle. Not wrote the stay off as we did really enjoy our stay. But sadly didn't know about the live bands on Saturday nights. Even though we was top floor it was impossible too go to sleep prior too it finishing. If I knew prior me being a light sleeper would of brought ear plugs and room was quite chilly was the other niggle. Did love the room, the location for us was perfect, friendly staff, clean and comfortable room.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was really basic, tired and freezing cold as the heating wasn't put on, despite me requesting it. It was a budget double. However the bathroom wasn't bad and I enjoyed nice hot baths. The staff were pleasant, and the breakfast was good. The bar was dingey and I didn't like having to go in there if the reception wasn't manned. Parking was a lottery, but I was mostly lucky. The location was convenient to ASDA and lovely sea walks at Marsh Farm and Burnham on Crouch.
