I've never written a bad review before as I've never needed to but I felt I had to. It was the hottest day of the year. The fan that they supplied in our room was tiny and didn't work properly. There was also no air conditioning and the shower had 2 settings - scolding hot or off. It also broke in my hand. When we ate in the restaurant the food was lovely however we got given the food with no cutlery so had to wait for the waitress to go away and come back a few minutes later as our food was going cold.
Andrew
Reception staff very helpful in getting us to a .local Wedding venue
Jody
Good breakfast, nice bar, free parking and lovely staff. Hotel full of old world charm. Easy to find. Decent room but ground floor and unfortunately the window was just inches away from a noisy beer garden, so had to keep curtains closed and didn’t get much peace.
Stephen
The hotel is tired and needs to be refurbished feel sorry for the staff as a lot of people complaining the staff were fantastic
Reece
A lovely 1-night stay. The property as a whole, including the room, was clean and tidy. The staff were from arrival until we left were very friendly and helpful. We will absolutely stay here again if we are in the area.

We arrived late and checked in. Staff were friendly. The room was very nice, especially for the price. We had a drink and a bite to eat in the bar, which was busy and a lovely atmosphere.
Would stay again.

Samantha
This was a great place to stay. The room was very clean and the female receptionist was incredibly helpful and welcoming. A credit to the place.
Only thing that stopped it from being 5 stars was lack of info at breakfast. We ordered and only became aware that there was bread, juice and other items available when we saw the waitress carry them away at the end of breakfast. It wasn’t visible from where we sat so a heads up would’ve been helpful.
Still would recommend.

Really nice place to stay overnight before an early morning flight from Stansted, thanks 🙂
Wayne
The room is a nice size, clean, but very very dated, the shower was in the bath and not very good.
The hotel itself is located not far from Stansted airport and it's the only reason I would consider booking again.
The parking at the hotel is very poor and pretty much a free for all but the car park next door is free between 6pm to 8am with proper painted bays where people park rather than just abandon their cars.
All in all it was an ok choice of a place to stay for an early flight but I doubt we would book again

Michael
Excellent hotel. The reason for giving 4 /5 stars was that they didn't serve food at 8pm when we arrived... They decided to stop serving sure to having few guests. It wasn't a major problem as there are lots of places nearby.
Paul
Great stay with colleagues for office party - great food and friendly staff

Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the decor good and interesting pictures. The food in the restaurant was excellent.
The only negative from my husband was that there wasn't a shaver socket in the bathroom.

June
The breakfast was cooked to order, plate and food was lovely and hot and very tasty..
The rooms were very clean and we stayed a couple of nights so had our water - towels - milk refills done after the first night..the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We had our family get together on the Sunday after Christmas so we pre ordered our meals for our large family & table and everything we ordered was spot on!! Could not fault this hotel and staff. We will now be returning a few more times during the year..

Pub, room and staff were excellent. Unfortunately our room was a lodge away from the pub and was extremely noisy late into the night/morning as people left.

Andy
The staff were very nice, the room was very nice indeed and big with everything you would want. It was clean and had tea/coffee /bottled water. Bed was comfortable but the duvet is thin so i had to make noise at night trying to find a blanket which was in the bottom draw of the wardrobe, also the floor is noisy to walk on which made me conscious at night that i may have disturbed people either side late at night while walking to the bathroom. The kettle wont go under the sink tap so you have to use the bottled water if you have'nt already drunk it or fill it from the shower. I had a good stay but i left disappointed becuase when i went for my breakfast i was told i had missed it and there was no mention of times for breakfast anywhere in the room or at reception and we even had a conversation the evening before with the reception about friends meeting me for breakfast in the morning at 10.15 and was told thats fine and they will just have to pay for their breakfasts, no mention at all that it would be over by then....we went to the cafe down the road but i felt annoyed by it . Its a shame because it was a nice stay apart from that, i think they need to make it clear or even just leave a simple note in rooms about breakfast times
Robin
Safe car park right outside and a very comfortable room at an excellent price
Jason
Room decent - staff friendly. Breakfast poor. Sausage taste of sawdust and if I was laying a patio I could have used the black
Pudding as a paving salad as it was that hard.

Nicely updated rooms true to old pub style hotel. Food and beverage service of breakfast, dining, and pub were all outstanding. Shout out to the chef and and all the friendly staff who made our stay wonderful. Highly recommend.

The Hotel is very tired, extremely hot,the window looks out onto the car park so felt unsafe opening it up and leaving it like that all night. Had a very bad sleep had to have the fan on. Breakfast was very small. Overall not worth the £144.00 paid.

Lovely pub / inn in a lovely Essex town
Stayed for two nights due to attending a local festival at Chelmsford. We could not check in early but this was not an issue as we could park our car and leave our bags. They were very accommodating of our then late arrival back at the hotel (after 11pm at night) and check in was quick and efficient. The inn is lovely and the rooms were clean. They had left the radio on for us when we entered our room which we liked. The breakfast the following day all though very busy was excellent. I would definitely recommend this inn
Patricia
Lovely old Coaching Inn with welcoming and helpful staff.
It was very conveniently located in the town near bus stops with parking and my room was perfect with a large comfortable bed and a bath.
Only little things letting it down was no croissants or Hash brownies at breakfast and the price of the Wine !!
(Luckily found at half the price for lunch the following day at a cafe across the road......)

The room was unexpected but not in the most comforting way and not what is shown on the website for the outside rooms. It needs an update and could be utilised in a better way if they are going for the barn vibe. The guy at the reception desk was helpful and friendly! The breakfast was nice. It has a young vibe which was ideal for myself but not for my mum who accompanied me on this visit.
Paul
Enjoyed a 2 night stay. Room was very comfortable and slept really well. Staff were friendly and very helpfull. Location good and dining was excellent with good menu and well presented. Definitely on our to visit Again

Gordon
Very pleasnt hotel, nice room and facilities unfortunately spoiled by neighbouring guests waking at 6am, crashing about in room and departing on extremely noisy motorbike at 6.30 obviously no fault of hotel staff.
steven
Staff were very good, friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast was very good and to a high standard. Rooms are quite basic, but to be fair they offer good value for the cost so we would stay again and recommend, particularly for a short stay.

really nice room beds comfortable great setting , pub really nice food and breakfast , my only gripe and don't suppose they can do anything about is the amount of parking available for the amount of customers they attract for both the pub and hotel. Would defiantly stop again though

We stayed at the the Richmond Hill as a base to go to Wimbledon, but it's worth staying just to explore the local area anyway.

We stayed here for a couple of nights in the summer, when the weather was really hot. No air con but window open and they provided a fan, meant we still slept fine.
Decent size rooms, good condition and good size bed.
Staff were lovely, would recommend.

Alan
A great find with lovely staff!
A really lovely place to stay, plenty of parking on site and all of the staff from arrival, dinner and breakfast were fabulous. The rooms are a good size, comfy bed and plenty of amenities. The food was lovely for both dinner and breakfast. The bathroom was a little tired and the shower temperature a bit temperamental but that is being picky! Highly recommended and I will definitely stay again.

Great hotel!
Lovely hotel, the room was huge, staff were polite and it was quiet (even when the pub below was busy!)

Overnight stay
We gave stayed here before but the new owners have made great improvements. The room was spacious and the staff debaerslly were welcoming and efficient. The only exception being at breakfast where the Chinese server could perhaps benefit from some hospitality training. Otherwise an excellent stay.

Nice place to stay
Great hotel, clean and welcoming. Breakfast was good, staff were great and service was good, just ashame new manager decided to change the menue this time around. I mean who really eats spinach ravioli 😂 working men just want a nice decent meal after work.
But overhaul the place is clean and comfortable, the staff is what makes this place, always smiling.

Good comfortable stay, would use again.
Staff all excellent. Rooms clean and comfortable. Heating too hot and uncontrollable, eg no thermostatic valves. Bedroom corridor doors need silent closing. Breakfast good, evening meal adequate as limited menu and poor quality burgers. Plenty of character and bar busy.
Kyli
I stayed here with my husband after a wedding.
The parking was convenient and well sign posted.
Staff were all amazingly friendly and polite. Everyone was very helpful.
The room was clean, and well stocked. The bottles of water by the bed were a lovely touch.
Shower was easy to use and had decent water pressure.
Breakfast was lovely, and there were plenty of options for all dietary requirements (the vegan sausages were very nice!)
Check out was a breeze.
Other all, really pleasant stay, and would highly recommend.

Comfortable room but bring a head torch
Nice big room which was pretty warm and comfortable but it was soooooo dark. There were several 5 amp sockets but scarcely any lamps and no wall or ceiling lights except one round the corner near the bathroom. We had one dim standard lamp with a black shade and two small bedside lamps and that was it! The bulb went in one on the second night. This is something that could be so easily dealt with. You need two or three more lamps with bright bulbs. The shower is also pretty dire. More of a mist really but this seems to be the case in the other rooms too. The pub itself looked warm and cosy with a great fire and vibrant atmosphere though we didn’t eat or drink there. It was full on both Friday and Saturday nights.
Ian
Fantastic venue
George and his team where excellent again from a fantastic dinner to fresh and hot breakfast. 5 stars
George’s knowledge of the wine list was spot on with him choosing us beautiful bottle of red.
