Disappointing
Pros:

We had the included continental breakfast and it was adequate. Nothing special but what you’d expect. We were attending a friends party so we picked it for its location near her house

Cons:

Very disappointed with the room. I booked it in March so not last minute but the room we were given was awful. It seemed like one you would use as an overspill. The only window was very narrow and above the bed. So the room was dark and dingy. I am claustrophobic so I hated it. I felt like I was in a dungeon. The bed was terrible. Two single beds pushed together. There was a ridge in the middle so extremely uncomfortable. Not much you can do about the window except only use this room in a pinch and offer a discount. The bed needs to be replaced with a brand new king so e bed or even a double!

Strangest place I’ve ever stayed in.
Pros:

That it was in a lovely village

Cons:

Room smells, Bath Towels were yellow and stained. Bed was small double. Walls so thin I could hear the guests in the next room snore and fart.

Lovely stop for a one night stay.
Pros:

Great location for an event I was at in Kelvedon Hatch. Great friendly welcome, even out of hours and the staff in the pub are excellent. Nice single room, comfy bed and couldn't ask for much else on a quick one-night stay,

Cons:

little odd that wi-fi was available in the room but not in the pub but that may be to keep the pub mobile free.

Pub with rooms so I wasn’t expecting The Ritz. But the owner was welcoming and friendly. Dinner was fine and the cooked breakfast was excellent.

Would have liked WiFi in pub not just room
