Nice
The electric wall heater had stopped working, my room therefore was very cold on arrival. After asking reception about it I was given a small plug in panel heater which gave off a little heat, unfortunately with bei g in the end loft room it did not warm up sufficiently

Great overnight stop.
Lovely rest stop. Nice to have a private chalet away from the pub and noise.
Continental breakfast was amazing which was included.
Upgrade to full English for £10.50. My husband said it was great. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Close to Audley End which is why we chose it.

Lovely, friendly and clean
Lovely little pub and really nice room. Couldn’t fault the cleanliness or the service at all.
The only thing missing was a full length mirror in the room (we were going to the races!!)

Excellent mid week stay, the rooms were clean and nicely furnished, the bed was super comfortable.
We had a delicious meal in the restaurant and the staff were faultless. I would thoroughly recommend The Old Red Lion.
