Fijne locatie met parkeergelegenheid voor de boot vanaf Harwich
Pros:

Dichtbij de boot naar Harwich, kwartiertje rijden. Auto kon naast de kamer geparkeerd. Dus makkelijk om gelijk weer te vertrekken op de vroege ochtend. Er was een misverstand over de ‘ pastries’, die we zouden krijgen ipv een ontbijt. Die hadden we s’avonds al moeten ophalen. Maar werd goed opgelost en alsnog in de ochtend gemaakt. Was super!

Cons:

Beetje zachte matras misschien. Maar heb er wel goed op geslapen

Good value with a nice breakfast and lovely staff
Pros:

Lovely little pub and the rooms nice clean and comfortable

Cons:

I didn’t like that the window overlooked the pathway and there wasn’t a privacy blind or voile only a black out blind which meant it was really dark when down. Would suggested day/night blind or an opaque blind that lets light through in addition to the curtains

Relaxing stay
Pros:

Great staff, lovely room, tasty & hot food (evening and breakfast), great service, good portions. Comfortable bed. Easy to check in and out. Would recommend. We stayed the evening after a funeral and it couldn't be better.

Cons:

The room was lovely, just missing the ability to have soft or dim lighting in the evening.
