Stayed here to go to a friend's wedding and found the staff to be friendly on arrival and the room clean and with everything where it should be. Particularly pleased by the generous amount of biscuits that were available after a long drive! There is free parking which I was pleased about as we've been stung before by outrageous parking... more

Reading some previous reviews, I wonder if they relate to the same hotel! We have stayed here many times over the last few months for family reasons. Throughout our association with this hotel, we have always been greeted and treated with efficiency, courtesy, kindness a friendliness. Nothing has been too much trouble for the staff throughout the hotel. They cannot... more

Stayed two nights. Rooms a bit shabby but clean enough. Staff (except in restaurant) were really nice and friendly. Food is APPAULING! I mean seriously.... dont try it. Ordered dinner the night I got there and sent it back un-eaten. It was so unappealing that I didnt want anything else in its place because it put me off food (It... more

Room was fine. Bar and restaurant service were very slow. Food not very good especially for the price- but had worse. Staff were friendly enough. Staying here is fine but would recommend eating elsewhere. more

Clean room, bathroom a bit on the small size. FREE WIFI, although they do not advertise this, which is surprising. Bar/ restaurant on site with reasonably priced meals,... more

Stayed here for 1 night - November 12th 2007 for a business conference. I arrived at 11:30hrs and they let me check in to my room early, which is always a bonus ! The room was of average size & they were just in the process of descaling the shower heads in all the rooms (just proves some hotels do... more

I stayed one night only, checking in late and checking out very early, so I can only base this on my room. Purely because there were suspicious, dark, curly hairs in my bath and a big tide mark all around it, I obviously don't rate it too highly. It was cheap (I booked through Laterooms) and close to Colchester, but... more

I stayed for 3 nights and I paid with my credit card. Unfortunately they charge me three times with the same cost. I think the reception has to be more careful we that. more
