8 Oct 2026We had a good stay at the hotel, we had dinner there which was quick and served quickly and really good quality. Our breakfast was a bit different as it took almost 30 minutes to get a croisant and a scrambled egg, but was good when it arrived.

1 Jun 2026A charming Gastropub hotel on the edge of Epping Forest conveniently located near Chingford overground station with direct links to Liverpool St.
The hotel is a tudor style timber and white plaster building with stained glass windows amongst many other old world embellishments.
The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the restaurant a treat with exceedingly helpful and pleasant staff.
