Close proximity to the train station which was essential for our onward travel to Stansted . The staff were friendly , the rooms, although slightly dated , were spotless & the bed comfortable. The location was really pretty being on the River Stort . We made use of the onsite cafe / bar. then took an evening stroll along the river bank . It would have suited us to have breakfast in the cafe but it was closed the following morning for a deep clean , which just shows cleanliness of the place . There was nothing not to like . We hope to stay again .

Explore the local area on foot or get on a train

A great find. On arrival we walked over to look at all the boats on Roydon Marina and had lunch at The Boathouse Cafe Bar, which overlooks the Marina. Staff friendly and helpful in the Hotel Reception. We had booked a windowless room but figured we'd be watching television or asleep so wouldn't need to worry about looking out of a window. It got a bit stuffy in the night and felt a bit constricted but it was probably more psychological than actual. Train station in walking distance. Trains to London. Indian Restaurant steps from our hotel room. Delicious meal here on our second night. We had a leaflet in our room which gave us 10% off food excluding drinks. So happy days! Great for walking. We walked beside the Stort Navigation and to Dobb's Weir for a great breakfast at the Palace River Cafe. We hope to return and use this hotel as a base once again.

Woken by a fading in daylight feature.

My one complaint is about the light in the ceiling that fades on as the sun rises. The room I chose had no windows - I thought that would mean it is a good dark room (apart from the usual small coloured light to indicate the exit). But there was a large light in the ceiling that faded lighter and lighter in the morning. Unlike light from outside windows, it didn’t have an option to close a curtain on it. I was woken by the light at 5:50am and it just got brighter from there. This was the first time I realised why they had provided an eye mask on the pillow. But opening that up and putting it on only woke me up further. I dont know if there was a way to disable it - I couldn’t see any switches and there wasn’t any info in the room. I checked in late with a security guard so also don’t know if info would usually be given on checking in. All other things about my stay were excellent. Staff friendly. Bed comfortable (firm, which is what I prefer), decent pillows, good linen, nice toiletries. The cafe nearby did a good breakfast (not included) and the curry place next door smelled good when I arrived, but I had already eaten so cannot comment further. If you consider a windowless room here, I would ask about the ceiling daylight feature first and check it can be disabled if the light is likely to disturb you. Or make use of the eye mask if you won’t find it uncomfortable. My photos show the light at 5:50am and at 8am with no other lights on in the room.

Amenities. I arrived about 15.30, intending to eat at the hotel - only to find the club house was closed until 18.00 because of a function. I'm told this often happens, and imo the club house restaurant was too small for the hotel. I don't drive, and the walk to the village to get food would not have been safe if it got dark.
