    Packed with surprises – Good and Bad

    The characterful room made for a cozy stay, and the staff's warm demeanor always brightened the atmosphere! Live music events made the evenings fun.

    Parking can be tricky due to limited availability, so check ahead! The pub closes early, which might restrict night-time vibes.

    We had a solid stay, but the steep stairs made lugging the bags quite a mission. Heaps friendly staff and big comfy rooms with views of the river, though!

    friendly staff

    It was just an appropriate option for a rapid stop in Wivenhoe with good value considering price it charged. The staff provided quick recommendations for local dining options, which was really helpful for our family. Make sure to check the parking situation ahead of time as it can be a tight squeeze.

    charming decor
    spacious family room
    tasty food
    lack of breakfast options

    The property has loads of character, with charming decor that really gives it a unique feel. Just a short walk to the water, making evening strolls really nice. The kids loved the spacious family room, and the nearby pub had tasty food.

    My wife says that the lack of breakfast options was disappointing.

    Charming Stay with Room for Improvement

    While the decor exudes a cozy charm, I faced several issues during my stay. The room got quite cold at night, and cold showers were not pleasant. Future guests should confirm breakfast availability before arrival and consider dining options in advance.

    friendly staff
    superb breakfast
    limited dining
    challenging parking
    dated decor

    The lively atmosphere complemented by the friendly staff made the experience enjoyable. Breakfast offerings were superb, particularly the fresh dishes that stood out. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed on one of the nights, limiting dining options. parking was somewhat challenging due to limited space, making it inconvenient during peak times. The decor might feel dated to some, which can affect the overall impression.
