The Compasses

It is a beautiful traditional pub with clean, newly renovated rooms. I would highly recommend it!

Stay at the Compasses several times a year. It's the best value comfortable en suite accommodation in mid-Essex and is attached to one of Britain's best pubs. What's not to like?

Quaint pub with rooms with great garden and fantastic ales

Room was large and clean, garden were beautiful

Rooms too hot and poached eggs were dreadful, could not eat them as rock hard

Stay here quite often for work! This place is first class always clean smart quirky rooms!Staff in pub next door always happy and accomodating and proper old pub grub very reasonable.Always busy says it all!10/10 from me.

All Perfect!

Lovely pub stay, warm and welcoming, refurbished block near the (fantastic) pub

Lovely staff and food, Paul in the morning was lovely

Only complaint was that the bed was 2 singles together and could have done with a topper on so you couldn’t feel the join

The pub is lovely and the food great with really good service. The staff are friendly and the room was quite basic but clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast.

Pretty location. Old fashioned traditional pub serving good food and great choice of beers.

Breakfast was basic, with little choice. But it was very reasonable priced so good value for what we had.

We liked everything about the inn, it was an amazing spot on a cycle route and very friendly towards cyclists, the owner is keen cyclist himself. The room was excellent and the evening meal we had there was very good indeed. Fantastic service throughout from all the staff. Would recommend to anyone.

Nothing really, there wasn't anything I'd say needs improving, if I had to nitpick they could install covered bike shelter, but they were so gracious with letting us store our bikes in the room on a rainy night that I can hardly fault them for something we didn't need to use!

A lovely stay, the property was clean and modern with a rustic twist. The food in the pub was delicious and the staff were so friendly and helpful.

It was great location for the purpose of our visit. Very clean and staff were very friendly. The pub was also excellent

Lovely Country pub with very friendly staff. Good food at reasonable prices. Great selection of well kept draught beers. Comfortable and spacious room with tea/coffee making facilities. Plenty of free car parking.Would certainly stay at the Compasses again.

It's just a gem of a pub. Beer is outstanding and the food really good too.Lovely atmosphere in the bar.The accommodation is comfortable and cosy. It's perfect for our needs.

Nothing at all !

Rooms were very clean and modern, and warm. Bed was very comfortable! Modern conveniences.

Can't think of anything in particular.

Stayed here the night before attending a wedding at Leez Priory. Great location , just 5 mins away. Lovely rustic Inn, with a log fire, Check - in was easy at the bar, and we were taken to our room, which was situated in an adjacent lodge type of building. It was quirkily decorated, which i loved , beautifully clean, with crisp clean bedding, white towels, and a modern shower room with some toiletries. Rooms also have a hairdryer, which was a relief as I had forgotten mineWe had dinner, so make sure you book on check-in, as it's really busy. Menu had lots of choices, and the food was great. A good night's sleep. Breakfast the next morning was good too. All the staff were really friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Just a couple of suggestions. The lighting in the room was a struggle. I think it would benefit from bigger side table lamps. There were only 2 small wall torch type reading lights, or the huge ceiling lights. Also, of having a kingsize bed for the 6ft2 men.But these didn't effect our stay.

Excellent clean room. A great meal, friendly staff and good beer and wine!

We arrived in the dark..cosy warm & inviting! Please be aware of Pub Opening Times for checking in! 5pm.Lovely room..clean & comfortable. Crisp white bedding and towels. Comfy bed ..good shower. What's not to love!

The rooms were very clean, fresh & warm
