Nice hotel spoilt by loss of the restaurant.
Pros:

The staff were all friendly and helpful and breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Sadly they closed the restaurant three weeks ago. Understandably due to lack of people using the facility. Unfortunately the options for eating nearby are limited (the next door indian restaurant is closed on Tuesday). You have to go to Maldon High Street to get an evening meal.

Expensive for what it was.
Pros:

Breakfast was good although we were charged extra for juice! Room well equipped but tiny. Shame no biscuits in the room. Our waitress Chaire was lovely.

Cons:

We weren't told the hotel wasn't serving food, only breakfast until we were checking in. Otherwise we wouldn't have booked. Indian next door, but awful food. Pub across the road but didn't serve food either. Area a bit run down.

Great atmosphere, style and staff.
Pros:

The hotel has a lovely atmosphere with some period features. The style was spot on not too old fashioned or too modern.

Cons:

The only slight thing is that it faces out onto a fairly busy road so in the summer if you wanted the window open you would hear traffic however they did have vortex fans to help with this.

Adequate.
Pros:

Location convenient for purpose of stay.

Cons:

The room was too small and cramped and had extractor fans close to the window and overlooked by a noisy factory. Disappointed that the restaurant wasn’t open on our first night. That said, we did enjoy a lovely meal on our second night when it did open but surprised that the restaurant will be closing for guests in the future.

Disappointing
Pros:

On site parking

Cons:

Thought rooms were small and carpets and decorating ready to be upgraded. Plumbing noisy-woken up once guests were using shower, no soundproofing. Breakfast rooms were very pretty, food - small portions and not great. Front of house very helpful. Passed our complaints to the manager who did not bother to speak to us. Wouldn’t stay here again.

We had an enjoyable stay here. A two minute walk away was a lovely walk along the river path.
Pros:

The room was lovey as were a majority of your staff.
The room was clean and spacious.
Shower was a delight.
Breakfast was more than we expected. We thought it was just continental.. Bonus.

Cons:

The restaurant was closed which we did know before we came but still disappointing.
No decaf satchels of coffee in room.
Due to the hot weather we had our window open which then let in a lot of noise.
