Cleanliness and honesty of staff. I lost my mobile phone without knowing it was left at the reception desk. As soon as I returned late in the night, the staff called my attention to it and handed over the phone to me with the money inside the phone jacket intact.

Nice, clean and comfy room in the building at the backside of the area. Recomend, because it is more quiet than front. Outstanding breakfast and coffee. Restaurant is very recommendable as well.

My wife and I stayed at this family-run hotel for two nights (Friday and Saturday nights).We enjoyed a very generous and tasty breakfast. All the staff we met, on Reception and in the Restaurant, were very friendly. Despite the fact that the hotel is located in the centre of the town and that music is played in the ground floor bar till midnight on Friday and Saturday nights our room was very quiet. The free Wi-Fi worked very well.
South Woodham Ferrers is very well placed to explore the countryside, the City of Southend-on-Sea and towns and villages nearby.

I visited as I was visiting family - Woodham Ferrers has lots of facilities - such as park (for walking the dog) -Manor farm for children's activities (brilliant - mainly all outside); leisure centre with swimming pool (not particularly big) and a very compact but with variety shopping centre.
This is a family area and does not support luxury/designer shops
Woodham Ferrers has good access to major road links and a train station to London.
The Indian restaurant in South Woodham Ferrers was excellent and very good value for money

I visited on a whim, just to get out of London. Compared to other places I've visited in the country this year, this has to be the best in lacking any soul and social interaction. As I was walking and no signs were present on the main roads, why do you need to follow the bike routes to get to the railway station? Why didn't anyone know where the station was? Also, there are some old radar stations on the hill. Yet again no signs as to how to get there and once there, no history about the place. This also was the case along the river. No signs. If there's anyone who comes out with flying colour during the trip, the prize goes to the the bus drivers of Essex. These were the only people who could put a sentence together.

I only used the hotel as a stop off point for a trip to Colchester but I thought Woodham Ferrers was a nice little town. The hotel was in a very central convenient location. It had all I wanted. I ate in the green king pub next to Asda. Was lovely, noisy but it was Saturday night so that’s standard.

The location of the hotel was perfect, we had all the essential shops on our door step, we came down to stay because we were going to a christening in a neighbouring village, the price was good as we did enquire at another hotel but there wasn't a breakfast, everything was perfect very nicely surprised as you can imagine with some hotels, your hotel was very clean, looks very well looked after, pleasant staff, we will be booking with you again when we visit our friends, plus we will definitely recommend you.
I booked this hotel by mistake, I phoned instantly to ask for a refund and got told I had to speak to the manager who wouldn’t be back for 4 days I phoned again to be told I needed to contact booking. Com. I got in touch with booking. Com to be told it’s down to the hotel. I phoned again and then got told it was too late for a refund as it was over a week. 80 pound nicked! And I’ve never heard from them since even though I’ve phoned numerous times and email! Disgusting customer service
Adequate facilities. No food served on premises the evening of my arrival but The Oaklands was happy for food to be brought in and would even supply plate and cutlery if requested. I enjoyed a good Chinese takeaway purchsed 2 minutes walk from the hotel.
Was able to park at the back of the hotel off road.
Plenty of tea/coffee making facilities in the room.
The breakfast was good and the staff were pleasant. It is a budget hotel so we weren't expecting any frills, but there were tea/coffee making facilities in the room. We were able to have a fan for the room as the weather was exceptionally hot.
Nothing to dislike really. The location was right next to several places to eat as the hotel does not serve bar food. Room was fine with everything you would expect. Cooked breakfast was great and staff lovely.
The location is good. Many restaurants nearby as well as an ASDA, The shopping center is quite attractive. The hotel offers a good breakfast and the bar is pleasant. Modern TV in the room
THE HOTEL IS EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY, BREAKFAST WAS VERY GOOD, STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL
THE BEDS ARE VERY COMFY AND THE ROOM,TOWELS AND BATHROOM SPOTLESSLY CLEAN.
A clean, budget hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast was basic but all you need and hot breakfast swiftly served. Good sized bedroom with comfortable beds.

Staff very helpful at breakfast and very timely with service
Great to see a band in hotel bar
