It was listed as having a restaurant, but hasn’t. It said breakfast included, but it was a yogurt and fruit in a fridge. When a British pub says breakfast you expect a full English not a continental.

Beautiful but avoid Friday & Saturday
Beautiful building, stunning rooms & the staff are a credit to the business, especially Chris who keeps the rooms spotless. The reason for the one star rating is that due to it being a pub you will experience unbearable levels of noise due to the karaoke & dj on a Friday or Saturday. The rooms should be heavily discounted on those days. They do warn you that these events are on but you honestly there’s noise and then there’s noise which is so loud that items on the tables in the room actually shake from the bass! Earplug muffled it very slightly but not enough to be able to sleep until post 1am. Then at 8am the daily cleaning starts. If you’re staying mid week that would be perfect I should imagine.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and well presented room.
Breakfast is just items supplied in the room, but they have made the very best of the situation. A full breakfast would have earned a top score.

We were only there for 2 nights but everywhere was really clean and fresh. We were made very welcome and all staff were very friendly and helpful.
The garden/outside seating area was also well kept. It is obviously a locals pub and everyone we spoke to was very friendly.

Beautiful hotel.
We stayed in the Dedham room which was beautiful, spacious and comfortable.
The room was spotless and the breakfast basket ideal. Thank you to Mel for a warm welcome and completely relaxed stay.
