I like the breakfast, lovely big room and hotel grounds.
I didn’t expect that there would be no fridge in the room. Rooms are dated, some ripped carpet noted, the bathtub is clogged, and the sofa is worn out already.

Great location and set in fabulous grounds
The site needs a damn good maintenance person ! And new cleaners Radiators so hot you could shoe horses off of them .. whilst it’s 31 degrees outside. Taps falling out of their fittings Only one plug in the room to use. The room had dead mosquitoes stuck to the ceiling and Wanstead replenished with tea / coffee / milk Damp smell and dated and worn everywhere… the place has seen better days.

The location, cleanliness, staff were really helpful & friendly & made a fuss of our little dog. We like the fact the hotel is dog friendly.
Food & drinks & especially the cost of breakfast was a bit pricey.

Heather, on reception, was like an angel in a dark night. Dave on the Bar is a true man who sees the world in all its glory!
Nothing.
