Visited this place for the first time tonight 06/06/22 at approx 20.00pm for a drink as I live local, I have never felt more unwelcome in a pub in my life, the bar maid or owner was the rudest person I have ever come across in Maldon.

Stayed two nights to attend a funeral. Bedrooms very tidy and recently decorated with modern bathroom. Staff friendly but doing many jobs, understand it is up for sale. Bars very good selection but disappointed no cooked food only breakfast which was great. Public rooms are like entering a museum.

Called into the Bar for a drink. Bit disappointed to Learn the Micro Brewery had gone but the Crouch Vale Brewers Gold was a good substitute. Love the history of this place and the eclectic look of the Bar

Rooms: Quite good except, dust on vent. Not vacuumed under beds. Walls in bathroom stained, not repainting properly. Generally fine including cleanliness. Service: Breakfast was very slow and tables not cleared. Okay selection. Food, nothing great. Location: Charming in the sunshine. Central and parking very good. Value: Price was okay. Improvements: Firmer mattress. More of a welcome to this hotel both from a room and from receptionist.
