Good but a few minor changes would take it from good to great. Towel rail in bathroom was permanently on maximum - not great for the hottest day of the year - and also a waste of power.

We liked the plastic duck on the side of the bath which greeted us!! Also the DAB Radio which hotels never have. Both unique to us! Despite being quite small, the bathroom is very well designed. We thought the fitments in the room were very practical with plenty of wardrobe space and sensible size bedside tables. The menu choice was good for us and despite a long wait our meals were excellent - liver and bacon and sea bass. The next morning there was an extremely long wait for coffee and then for our cooked breakfast, but we had been warned that it would be busy due to some wedding guests staying. However, our breakfast was excellent and well worth the wait. On checking out we learnt from the manager that the regular chef was injured with a trapped nerve in his arm, and the agency chef had never cooked breakfast ‘to order’ before, so well done to him/her. We will definitely stay again. If we had been staying longer we would have made use of the courtyard seating area - very nicely done.

A happy group
Seven of us - two married couples and three solo individuals - stayed here while attending a function at Felsted School. We met at the hotel in the afternoon, some of us strangers to one another but others old friends; we met again at the hotel around 9pm for drinks, staying up till 1230am. In the morning, we all met again for an 0815 breakfast. The hotel helped the happy mood to keep becoming happier.
