“Restaurant with rooms in a small Essex village. The fantastic restaurant offers modern British fine dining without any fuss. Colourful & cosy rooms are on the small side but provide modern luxuries; fluffy robes, power showers & underfloor heating. Appeals to those after an authentic experience. ”
