Little corner of heaven
What a little gem. From the moment we booked in everyone was so kind and helpful. Our room was The Kestrel. The room was large, very clean, warm had a decent sized smart tv. A lovely bath room with under floor heating a double sized walk in shower, with toiletries and soft towels. We had our evening meal and breakfast there and both meals were delicious and hot. We can’t wait to go back

Great for a 1 night stop-over as convenient to explore East Essex with its quaint & pretty villages such as Battlesbridge, Burnham on Crouch. Also areas of interest like RHS Hyde Hall, Stow Maries Great war museum, Essex Wildlife Trust

Great Place at the end of the road
Staff were fantastic could not do enough for you, food was very good, only slight issue the window in the bedroom door needs a curtain to stop the security light coming in to the room at night.

A real gem
A real gem. Superb setting and a welcoming sight. The Inn, staff, service and accommodation were excellent. Chose the Inn as we were visiting family locally. Obviously a great deal of time and money spent on developing such a lovely property. I cannot recommend it more highly. We will definitely be returning in the future.
