Purfleet Vacations from $926

No problem with the room and staff very friendly Just slightly noisy that’s all I can say

You pull into the drive and go wow, the building and grounds were great. The staff are friendly and helpful. We had one issue when it came to dining in the first evening we wanted something off the bar menu and was told we had to eat in the bar even though the restaurant wasnt overly busy. It didn't make for a pleasure experience trying to eat with other drinking around us. The service was slow and what made it more annoying overhearing the bar staff talking about how its important to give a quality of service as those staying were paying so much money and then forgetting us. We did plan to eat there on our second evening but was so disappointed we eat at Deben Seal 5 minutes down the road which was exceptional, fantastic staff and quality food. As for the room it was clean and tidy, bathroom needs a little attention especially around the silicone on the bath. Plugs are a little problem to as my wife struggled getting ready whilst sat at the dressing table. Staff at breakfast were so helpful and it was great breakfast. Overall great location full of character just let down by the dining experience and made to feel forgotten because we eat at the bar and not restaurant.

Staff, accommodation and breakfast all excellent. Some low beams due to the age of the property

Great stay can only imagine how nice it would be in the summer as my stay was in November. One thing to note. Cost hangers needed!

This was a reasonably priced and fairly comfortable option. Staff were generally very helpful and exceptionally polite. However, on our arrival after being seated in the brasserie, we had to wait a long time and eventually find someone, to place our order. We liked our room with balcony, and the parkland environment. However, it was impossible to use the bathroom during the night without waking the other occupant because of light spillage. As a suggestion it would be good for the hotel to work with the university management to develop a safe pedestrian route to the bus stops at South Courts - the footpath runs out at the car parks and we found we had to walk on the road to progress towards the bus stop. This would be completely unmanageable for someone in a wheelchair. There was a wedding going on during our stay and as the wedding party were using the enclosed garden space, we weren't sure if we could sit there.
