Packed with surprises – Good and Bad

The characterful room made for a cozy stay, and the staff's warm demeanor always brightened the atmosphere! Live music events made the evenings fun.

Parking can be tricky due to limited availability, so check ahead! The pub closes early, which might restrict night-time vibes.

It was just a great match for a brief pause in Wivenhoe with great for the money. The building's charm really added to the experience, making for a cozy stay. Check the parking situation in advance to avoid any hassle.

The staff were exceptionally accommodating and provided great local advice. Narrow stairs made accessing the room with luggage challenging.

the black buoy inn has a cozy charm with clean rooms and comfortable beds. it's just a short stroll to the picturesque river, perfect for evening walks. staff members are always friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

totally recommend

We had a solid stay, but the steep stairs made lugging the bags quite a mission. Heaps friendly staff and big comfy rooms with views of the river, though!

the black buoy inn is in a great spot, just a few steps from the riverside. the staff were really friendly, and the room was clean and cozy with lovely decor. the spacious bathroom had plenty of hot water. we really enjoyed the nearby pub too.

strongly recommend

i really enjoyed my stay at black buoy inn during this little getaway. the room was spacious and comfortable, making it a great match for my previous visits to the city. the lovely decor and closeness to the picturesque riverside added to the charm of it all.

no breakfast was available during my stay.

It was just an appropriate option for a rapid stop in Wivenhoe with good value considering price it charged. The staff provided quick recommendations for local dining options, which was really helpful for our family. Make sure to check the parking situation ahead of time as it can be a tight squeeze.

The hotel has loads of character, with charming decor that really gives it a unique feel. Just a short walk to the water. The kids loved the spacious family room, and the nearby pub had tasty food.

My wife says that the lack of breakfast options was disappointing.

I had such a wonderful stay! The charming decor made for a cozy atmosphere, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious and hearty. One drawback was the limited parking available.

Charming Stay with Room for Improvement

While the decor exudes a cozy charm, I faced several issues during my stay. The room got quite cold at night, and cold showers were not pleasant. Future guests should confirm breakfast availability before arrival and consider dining options in advance.

The lively atmosphere complemented by the friendly staff made the experience enjoyable. Breakfast offerings were superb, particularly the fresh dishes that stood out. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed on one of the nights, limiting dining options. parking was somewhat challenging due to limited space, making it inconvenient during peak times. The decor might feel dated to some, which can affect the overall impression.
