My boyfriend and I rarely complain and are always happy go lucky people. After 2 nights for our anniversary at the Gatehouse we left a little fed up...actually alot fed up. We read the reviews first but I have to disagree with any 5/5 ratings. The location was ok but the website is mis-leading. You will need to walk for... more

The location was good for our needs and quiet. The hotel was nice enough and the rooms an average size. However, the twin beds were very narrow (much smaller than standard twins in the USA). I was scared all night that I would fall out. I could not roll over. I would have found a different hotel if I had... more

I stayed here six times over two months as I had some business in the area. Hotel is a 2 minute drive off the A14. There is a large retail park/supermarket nearby. However, the hotel is down a very quiet road and has some grounds. You cannot see the retail park and there is very little traffic noise. Parking is... more

Beware if you are making a group booking. I received no written confirmation from the hotel about my booking. They told me about the deadline for making changes to room bookings. They did not tell me there was a deadline for changing the numbers for dinner. When I phoned to alter the numbers for dinner, I got through to the... more

Good evening meal and full breakfast available sensible prices. Single room - OK for size, clean, clean bathroom with shower. Free WIFI included. Would not hesitate staying again when in area more

We stayed at this hotel for one night prior to a cruise which departed from Harwich. First impressions were of a small, clean and tidy hotel. The lady that checked us in seemed very harassed and spent a lot of time, during check-in and later in the bar, sighing loudly! At first I found this somewhat amusing but after a... more

For the price (£75 p/n including breakfast) I cannot fault this hotel. It is good for both leisure and business stays. It is in an old building with character, however the rooms are a good size, clean, modern, and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable and the LCD TV a welcome addition. Also free WiFi internet is available throughout... more

We stayed three nights in a double room on a leisure break. This hotel looked startlingly small when we arrived. After we'd dragged our wheely cases across the gravel from the car park to the front door (quite exhausting), we were warmly welcomed. Our room, number 1, cost a bit extra but was a very good size and clean and... more

quiet with very good food, only bad bit was disorganised breakfast staff more
