Positive: Private. Clean. Homely. Nice to have breakfast options in the room. A small problem with the electric was sorted swiftly and staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Great food in the pub. Very close to Colchester so very convenient but lovely to be in a rural setting away from the city.
Negative: The noise from the road first thing but this is not something that can be helped and is really only during the morning rush hour.
Summary: Perfectly suited our needs.
