Fantastic views over the River Crouch. Watched the boats racing out side the club from our bedroom window. Good food and drinks reasonably priced and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Very quirky I felt as though I'd stepped back in time. A rose in Burnham on Crouch's crown.

I have never been in a hotel that has such great hosts. This had a home-feel and everyone wanted to make sure we all had everything we needed.
Additionally, the food is terrific and very affordable. Id definitely return here.

We ate in the restaurant again where the food is always good. Find it odd that you can't order a side portion of chips, also on this visit we were served by an older woman who came across as very curt and abrupt. Mike
