A great place to stay close to the Leez Priory

A loverly village inn with great food and real ales. Very comfortable bed and room very clean. Shower was clean and they water hot. In all a very comfortable stay. We were, attending a wedding at Leez Priory which as 5 mins away. Local Chelmsford cabs serve the Leez so transport back was very easy.

The pub’s location is in a lovely rural location. Our room, ‘Old Bob’, with ensuite, was lovely, big and very clean. The room was very quiet and the bed and pillows were comfortable for a good nights sleep. We enjoyed our breakfast and we’d definitely stay again if the opportunity arose.

Over priced accommodation

Room was reasonable size and modem clean bathroom. But empty picture hooks, second hand bed, broken corner chest draw and the wardrobe with wobbly door really don’t make it as 100pound per night room only level!
