Very enjoyable stay!

We had a lovely stay. The hosts were welcoming and friendly - they clearly enjoy and take pride in their job. The room was clean, comfortable and well stocked with amenities (after a long day the hot chocolate was well needed!). Breakfast in the morning was excellent quality.

Great landlord - welcoming and super friendly. Superb range of real ales and an awesome full English breakfast. Room was comfortable, fairly spacious (we had the triple) and clean. Broom was a little compact and basic. Overall a good friendly pub with basic but good facilities.

A desarster turned positive

The gentleman running the inn was warm and friendly, helpful too as I had direction troubles for an event and so he googled it and printed it and for the next day I got there. A very homely comfortable feeling I thought. If I'm ever back in the area I will stay there again.

We had a well equipped en-suite room in this convenient location. Our only complaint is that the mattresses were a little firm. There was a nice bar area. Parking was very convenient. Perfect for a one night stay.

Excellent sleep!

I slept very well for the night. Very welcoming host who offered a double bed on my arrival. Room was very clean with an excellent selection of hot drinks and a kettle. The first place I have stayed that had soya milk in the room so I was able to have a nice cuppa in the morning. Thank you will stay again!

Lovely, friendly Inn

Ultra friendly and nice little inn. We were staying overnight for a wedding locally and this was an ideal location. Small but well-appointed room with some nice little touches (loads of tea, coffee and water) and a great friendly welcome from the landlord. We had a couple of drinks in the pub before the wedding and all the pub regulars were charming and welcoming. And the pint (s) of mild I had wete sublime. Would definitely use this Inn again if in the area.

Just what I needed for my stay

I found the Dog Inn to be in a great location when staying in Halstead. The pub landlord, Richard, gave me a warm and friendly welcome and showed me my room on arrival to ensure I was happy with the room and its facilities which I was. This was greatly appreciated. I had a comfortable two night stay and the breakfasts were both good too. Real ales available in the bar in the evening. Halstead has a thriving high street with a nice range of useful shops and restaurants. There is a pleasant public park and I enjoyed a good few hours in the large Antiques centre in a former Mill building. Many thanks Richard for an enjoyable stay
