There was no stay and never will be.
Pros:

I didn't like anything

Cons:

Booked for the night of my mothers funeral as it said it was a relaxing and historic place. At 2am of the morning of the funeral I received an email telling me there was to be a loud DJ set until midnight - and I was welcome to join - obviously not what I wanted to do on such a traumatic day. My messages were ignored so in the midst of the wake I had to phone them - I was met with a junior member of staff - the manager never phoned or spoke to me although I asked. I was told 'its not our policy to refund' - it is their policy to take your money, be rude and unhelpful - they do not state on Booking.com that they have events which will disturb you. I wasn't even offered another date they just took my money - then asked for a review - well here you go. Perhaps being human and sensitive could be added to your training - because my goodness you need to sort out your 'policies'. I hope Booking.com removes you for not fully disclosing your property does not offer peace but in fact no sleep on some Fridays and Saturdays - but only to be revealed at 2am when it is too late to cancel your booking.

Incredible room and team, with often live entertainment in the Pub at the weekend - and a really nice town to visit too…
Pros:

The room was amazing and the team were super friendly and helpful throughout

Cons:

Hate to say it, as we really loved it, but the live music/karaoke which apparently happens some Fridays and Saturdays and went on until close to 00:30 - was pretty noisy in the room, and as we are quite early sleepers, would probably only come back midweek in future…

Beautiful pub but disappointing inside
Pros:

Nothing on the Booking.com site warned me that this is a sports pub. The bar area is almost all taken up with a darts alley, a pool table and 2 large screens. The pictures suggest an old fashioned inglenook type pub with armchairs etc but that was not the case. The outside seating areas are quite nice but need a bit of attention, especially the plants.
We had the standard double room which is extremely small with wall hooks to hang clothes. As it was just for one night this was not really a problem but there was no room to move about and the small step inside caused us both to trip. The bed was very comfy although there was noise from the garden below until the place emptied. There are no staff on site once the pub closes.
The breakfast hamper was good and the fridge very welcome although, as had been noted elsewhere, the tea making area is tiny and the kettle high up.

Cons:

For guest safety a handrail on the staircase would be helpful. Also a non-slip shower mat and warning tape on the small step inside the room.
Sadly the pub did not match up to the expectations derived from the photos and reviews.

Gorgeous property, lovely staff, beautiful town and a great base for touring Essex and Suffolk.
Pros:

This is a beautiful, medieval property with tons of character. It is very well maintained and the lovely, spotlessly clean room had a very comfortable bed with a coffee machine, basket full of breakfast goodies and a well stocked fridge. Staff were very friendly too. The location is beautiful, and bars and restaurants are just a 10 minute walk away.

Cons:

N/A

Pros:

Room was fantastic location was good for us.. lovely village with a quite location.

Was surprised they didn't do hot food. Love my full English in the morning. They did provide an alternative with a picnic basket full of nice fruit and cakes. Would of preferred cereal.

Beautiful, comfortable room in a fabulous building.
Pros:

Such a beautiful historic building in a sleepy town. Very quirky features. Super comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom. Nice breakfast hamper in the room. The electric fan came in handy on the very warm evenings. Lovely and quiet at night (after the live music ended). Plenty of restaurants within walking distance for dinner and fabulous bakeries serving breakfast if you want something hot.

Cons:

We only found out about the weekend live music events after we had booked. Our room was immediately above the area the band was playing. Not an issue for us at all (the band was really good!), but could be for others who are expecting a quiet evening, so might be a helpful note on the hotel details.

Definitely would not recommend
Pros:

Not a lot really.

Cons:

We had the smallest room, it was very small!!! Very noisy until 12.15am. The tiny bathroom was disgusting, a very stained toilet seat, rusty fittings, a patched up sink. Shower heads had not been cleaned in ages.
