The hotel isn’t too bad but the loud noise from the bar or pub downtown is huge sleep deprivation with soundproof.

Pleasant stay

It’s a nice basic hotel with friendly staff in a nice area. There was tea and coffee in the room and breakfast was really nice. The best place to park was the car park at Tyler’s Ride which is a short walk away. There are lots of options nearby for food and there was a band at the hotel

Very good value. Basic but clean accommodation, good breakfast, very convenient in the heart of South Woodham Ferrers. Minor issues: The Telly control could do with replacing and I found the room door lock fiddly to use with the key often sticking.

The area is safe, and the hotel is clean as a avarage countryside hotel. The staff is also hospitable. One thing I might say is no auto lock room keys and the entrance too.
