Great hotel, friendly staff and beautiful food, will definitely stay every time I’m in the Heybridge area.
Pros:

Great location for my meeting, literally round the corner. Lovely Classic Room, bar and restaurant was beautifully laid out and the staff were very friendly, Peter and James particularly so! The meal was stunning, my starter was seared scallops with chorizo jam and fried chorizo and my main was spring lamb, sautéed potatoes with a pea and mint jus, cooked to my taste and it was delicious! 😋😋
Had a lovely stay and even popped back to have a coffee with a colleague, as our meeting was delayed and the staff were very accommodating and friendly… the cleaners stopped hoovering, so they didn’t disturb us and said they’d polish instead! Great place and will definitely stay again!

Cons:

The only downside was that in the morning, when someone elsewhere in the building was showering, the pipes in my bathroom (room 3) were very noisy, thankfully I always have earplugs so it wasn’t such a big deal but I’d certainly have been disturbed had I not had them in.

A lovely stay in a delightful hotel
Pros:

We very much enjoyed our brief stay here. Our room was cosy and comfortable and the hotel is in a very peaceful location. The breakfast room was delightful, with natural light flooding in, and the staff were super friendly! We even got given some extra pastries to sustain us on our homeward journey :)
