First night there was a lot of noise from busy road and bar below (although it was mainly our wedding crew) but when we asked to move the 2 nd night they were VERY obliging and that room (8) was amazing. Food very good. (Dinner and breakfast) staff very friendly and all pleasant.

Our was ideal for 4 day stay. The room was clean and large enough for the kids on the sofa and my wife and I in the master. There was plenty of parking. The Pub is nice and the service for breakfast, lunch and dinner was very nice. Everyone was super friendly.

good food, good staff, bit to close to the road re noise.

Very pleasant and accommodating

Made to feel very welcome room was amazing and beautiful view. Food was excellent. An added touch to the rooms was a robe for guests to use in the bathroom

My stay at this hotel was awful. I stayed here on business and had many problems. I stay in 70/80 hotels per year and have never had to complain like this. I was aware just before arrival that they weren’t offering Breakfast or any Evening Meals which was less than ideal in the location. However I had several other issues but to name a few: No milk available for tea or coffee on request Room freezing, no radiators in room and wall unit not on before arrival so I spent 4 hrs having to wear my coat in my room. I left the heater on over night on 28 degrees to get it warm. Exit/Fire Safety lights in room. Large green lights that lit up the room all night so I was unable to sleep. I have never seen this before in any hotel so this needs to be corrected. On checkout the lady I spoke to couldn’t have cared less and didn’t take any of my feedback on board. Hotels.com shouldn’t currently be advertising this hotel as it is not fit for purpose with all the renovations taking place.

Food was fantastic, real home cooked food, service was great, staff great, lovely old fire place, very welcoming. The bed very comfortable, the only thing that let it down was the internet was a bit hit and miss.

Fantastic room, beautiful food, great service, just the ac and shower heater had a mind of its own, but will be back again definitely.

Not your standard pub hotel. Needed a place to lay my head snd gound this little gem just by chance. Fairly new extension of griund floir rooms built around a courtyard was unexpected as was the rooms, clean, soacious and well maintained. Definatly going in to my thumbs up next time im working around here...

The service was good, our room was very clean and a lovely view! Meals at the pub were nice…. But the breakfast could be a bit more interesting, variety and quality

Lovely country pub, will lots of character. Great full English breakfasts, recommend staying there.

The Staff were very warm and friendly and made our stay enjoyable.

Lovely modern room all facilities included. Brilliant stay

Lovely looking building but the road noise was unbearably loud. Just single glazed windows did not help quieting it. Very harts to sleep.

The accommodation and staff were exceptional. I could not fault anything. The rooms have recently been refurbished so they were beautiful and the bed was very comfy. I had an amazing sleep and beautiful food as I chose to eat in the Kings Arms that evening. The breakfast was outstanding. Perfect in every way.

The new rooms are great and nicely done

A traditional pub/Inn with a good selection of beers and really good food.

Wedding anniversary trip. Could not have been better. Visited Colchester and Flatford Mill first day. Southend Pier and South Essex second day. Rooms are brand new and have big showers in bathroom and 4 to 5 feet of space either side of the bed. Smart TV which I connected to my phone for YouTube and Netflix. Air conditioning and vaulted ceilings. Rooms are soundproofed. The window looks not at the road but out to a cornfield which when we stayed had haystacks in it. Staff were marvellous. Best 2 day getaway I have had in ages.

Right from the minute I arrived to the time I left, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definately be back.

Friendly welcoming staff. Comfortable room, very small ensuite shower toilet. We stayed in a front of house room and its on a very busy road which is noisy. Good breakfast. Would stay again though

Clean tidy lovely stay, good food also

Exceptional and outstanding, as simple as that.

I chose this property instead of the usual chains i stay in for work a wasn't dissapointed.The rooms look like their brand new, carpets are soft and springly, aircon works really well and beds are very comfy plus virtually no road noise.Free wifi also works well but can sign you out from time to time but no major hassle.Cooked breakfast is well done, cooked to order and you can have whatever you want.Only challenge is when you leave your pulling onto a busy fast road so takes a while to get the gap tou need but thats not the pubs fault.All in all a lovely place and ill definately be staying there again.
