A hidden gem in Maldon.
Pros:

The staff , especially the lady on reception, couldn’t have been more friendly and attentive during our stay . The hotel itself was exceptionally clean and comfortable and the air conditioned room was a welcome bonus in current hot weather. We didn’t use the hotel bar or bistro during over night stay but it looked very civilised and inviting.

Pros:

Stunning & immaculately clean. Staff were amazing! Was an incredibly hot weekend and got back to the hotel in the small hours, there was iced water at the bottom of the stairs to take and extra tea and coffee I’d needed. Didn’t eat there but I should imagine it was first class.

Excellent short break made all the better by the friendliness of all the staff.
Pros:

We booked a junior suite which turned out to be a very good choice as it had air con. It was also on the back of the building so was quiet.
Very nice dining and breakfast area and a nice bar.

Cons:

No fridge in the room and if we’d had a different room the lack of air con. Apparently it’s a listed building so they can only have it in the back 3 rooms.

Comfortable stay
Pros:

Very friendly and comfortable hotel. Excellent, freshly cooked breakfast.

Cons:

Decor was very plastic. Could have skipped some of the plastic flowers and had a few plants in the lobby/restaurant that need water. Some local photographs/paintings on the wall would be better than the current display which is unrelated to Maldon.

Very comfortable and delicious breakfast! Will definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Charming little hotel with a clean, comfy room, friendly staff and delicious breakfast.

Cons:

No staff reception when I arrived. I knew this ahead of time and it is understandable as it was a weekday off-season, but a bit confusing picking up my keys as they were under the wrong name and nobody around to help.

Location for wedding venue
Pros:

Breakfast was very good & there was a good choice to choose from

Cons:

Rooms slightly need a bit of updating!
You had to move the kettle to the other side of the room to boil. Should have had a choice of coffee, no decaf only normal coffee
Also think when there’s 2 people sharing a room, there should be more toiletries in the room.
