Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
When I first arrived, the carpark was very small and tight to park in certain spaces. Checked in, got to the room. And the first thing I saw was an empty bottle under the desk. I found a towel on top off the toilet basin but could’ve fallen off the towel rail above. The bed was comfortable, but only having 1 pillow each side was a down full and there was a gap in the middle off the beds

Will definitely stay here again
The hotel was very well situated for our needs and Great Dunmow is a very lovely spot, with a great feel to the high street. Upon arrival we were met by the receptionist, Mandy, who was friendly and knowledgeable and helped us with the usual arrival procedures. All of the staff were friendly and keen to help. We had a meal in the restaurant that was first rate and some welcome drinks in the bar before heading off to an event in the town. The room was lovely, well appointed, quiet and cosy. Lovely touch to have a DAB radio in the room tuned to Classical music station, adding to the room ambience. Breakfast was lovely too.
