Quite possibly the worst hotel ever. Do not book this place, its prehistoric and stinks of cats pee!! The hotel is dark and smelly and the rooms were filthy. The owners are very odd and wait up for you, to give you your key. Its a very strange set up. The shower head was taped up with duck tape and... More

Stayed in the family room with two young children. A double aspect room overlooking the garden - lovely and bright. We were made very welcome and the children enjoyed exploring round the hotel. Yes the rooms are dark in the main part but that's what you get when you choose a hotel that in a a building hundreds of years... More

You will never get into this hotel, you wont be given a key and the old guy will wait up for you and the woman will tell you to be back no later than 1am so they can go to bed. A tired old hotel, not bar, no breakfast suited to contractors only but even they would probably prefer their... More

I recently stayed at the Old Court Hotel in Braintree. I had been given information of the place by a friend who had also recently stayed there. It seems the building has been given an internal face lift. A little bit more modern. I had been told that the building sat on the oldest street in Braintree and with that... More

I recently stayed at this B&B because there had been a problem with my original hotel (overbooked). As I handed fifty pounds over to the woman behind the grotty reception, I had this unmistakable feeling I was going to regret it. I did.
