Best hotel in the area!
I have often stayed at this hotel when travelling for business in the area and it never disappoints. The service, staff, ambience, excellent food and easy car parking, makes it a must stay. Always a genuine welcome and the pwners / staff happy to chat whilst you're there. Fantastic breakfast and a great dinner menu, congrats to the chef for thier consistent wonderful, tasty food.

Disappointing stay
Three negatives.
The bathroom had a distinct drain/sewer smell which requires immediate attention.
Only one set of towels provided for two guests.
Our room (and several others) were located very close to a busy very noisy intersection with the result that from 6am sleep was impossible.
This was extremely disappointing as the room rate (no breakfast included) was not inconsiderable.

We'd rate extra stars if we could!
Our stay was beyond amazing.
The room was so homely and cosy, we loved it.
We had an evening meal and a breakfast, the food was incredible.
The staff at dinner and breakfast were so kind and welcoming, professional, completely faultless.
The staff made the stay that much more special, so thank you.
We cant wait to stay again.

Mysigt boende på pub i Feering nära Colchester
En mycket trevlig vistelse på en genuin engelsk pub med personlig och familjär känsla. Mycket serviceinriktad och hjälpsam personal.

It is good value. The staff are very welcoming and helpful.
It is clean. Snowy white bedding and big fluffy towels but although offered it was accepted that I preferred not to have unnecessary changes of towels and bedding. It’s great to have a good restaurant on site that also offers several vegetarian options. There is a lovely little garden and good parking. Be prepared to accept that there will be traffic noise as it’s positioned on a junction.

Lovely cosy room, fab food!
A lovely village pub, nice and cosy rooms, we stayed at the back of the pub and room was lovely and quiet. Nice and warm.
We ate in the restaurant for our evening meal, food was delicious and service was superb! We will definitely be retuning when we get our next child free evening.

A great place to stay. Very friendly and helful staff. Easy parking just on the oither side of the road, lovley building and tastefully decorated comfortable rooms. Didn't dine in for dinner as we were in a rush but the dining area looked fantastic and the menu looked great. Would highly recommend a stay here.

The noise from the road was constant all night. Very broken sleep. Room was small but fine, shower a bit weak. For the price it was fine but I would not stay again due to the noise from the road.

Homely
Great little pub/inn off the A12, room was lovely, bathroom needs a bit of an update but functional and clean. Homemade biscuits 😋 a delight. I had a superior room and loved having a espresso machine for my morning brew. Food in general was fab from my burger 6oz (think chef forgot the scales, it was massive) to my mexican chicken & Avocado on 2nd night, portions great size, service i couldn't fault, all team, smiley, happy peeps.

My only issue was bedroom size and noise from garden on my windows but I didn’t stay long enough to rate or notice anything bad. Location is very good and easy to access. Didn’t have time to try the meals but smelled delicious and atmosphere seemed very inviting 🙏

Shower problems
The beds were very comfy and the room was spotless Food was pricey but worth every penny very delicious, only problem I would say is that I felt a bit unsafe in the shower no hand rails to hold on to and no non slip mat in the shower plus no bath handles to get out of shower and no mat on the floor when you step out of the shower
