Really nice decor, lovely touches (treats, handwritten note, radio on) plus very attentive and helpful staff. Great building lovely warm, welcoming pub, great selection of drinks. Food good but not outstanding but all perfect for those wishing to enjoy walks in Epping Forest as we were.

Best dog friendly hotel

Most amazing experience, super dog friendly and staff are very welcoming and was very nice and welcoming to my dog. They had a dog menu at the pub which was really nice. The room was so beautiful I wanted to stay longer. The bathroom design is so unique loved it very much. Definitely coming back soon. I had a welcome card and some treats on the desk for me and had a dog package with a really nice shampoo and some dog treats along with a bed and feeding bowls already in the room before I came which made my experience much easier. The air conditioning was one of my favourite things.
