  Chill out weekend in Sheering - wonderful stay - Just back from a lovely weekend stay at The Cock Inn with my husband. We had a wonderful stay from start to finish. The staff were all so... read more welcoming and helpful. The pub has a very relaxed feeling about it, and we felt comfortable straight away. We ate both nights in the restaurant and the food was amazing, especially the rib eye steak and pork belly. The breakfast was so good, everything you could want, from juices, fruit, cereal and a delicious full English.
Our room was very comfortable and loved the little extras of shampoo, conditioner and shower gels - the biscuits were tasty too.
We cannot fault our stay, and will definitely be returning at some stage.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  Great for a short stay - We needed an over night stay after attending a family funeral locally. We were welcomed at 7pm and quickly found a table for a very good dinner which was accompanied... read more by well kept beer and a good glass of merlot! The room was warm and comfortable. Breakfast was freshly cooked and plentiful! We would definitely stay again as the staff were welcoming and friendly. The pub is very comfortable with a variety of seating areas.

  Good stopover  - Comfy bed. Good beer selection and well kept and served ales, decent food and friendly atmosphere. Nothing flash but better than you might expect. And The only improvement might... read more be sound insulation on the front roadside rooms. Breakfast was excellent.

  Everything we needed, everything we expected … - We needed two night’s accommodation - a wedding in Chelmsford Cathedral, followed by a reception at Colville Hall, White Roding. The Cock Inn was very clean, well equipped, provided good... read more food and the owners and their staff were very friendly and hospitable.

  A great place just outside London - I cannot fault this place: I booked after finding nowhere to stay in London [unless, that is, I had been willing to pay at least £250 for a Travelodge on... read more Saturday 8th July]. I told 'John' that I would be very late checking in as I was working late at a concert down in Kent. True to his word, my room [no' 1] was open with the key inside. And what a great, large, room with a lovely double bed, an additional single bed and good, clean, facilities - and all for £70. Didn't have time for breakfast as I had to be in London early on the Sunday, but it looked good. I'll be staying here again.

  We live near Liverpool but we’re flying out of Stansted on holiday and needed somewhere to stay overnight. How lucky were we to come across this gem of a... read more village pub just 15 minutes from the airport? Amiable hosts, comfy rooms and good food, what more could you want? Great value for money goes without saying.
We might not fly from Stansted again but would come back here for a longer stay another time.

  Lovely old pub with accomodation. - My wife and I were attending a family party in Sawbridgeworth, and wanted a place to stay rather than face a long late night journey home.
As the description says,... read more this is a family run pub/hotel.
Accomodation is in an adjoining building to the old pub. We had Room 1 , a family room with a double bed plus a single. The room had plenty of space to move around in, bed was comfortable with extra pillows provided. The bathroom came with a bath with shower over, there was plenty of hot water.
The 17th century pub has plenty of character, with a good choice of local beers. In the morning your breakfast is taken in the bar area. Breakfast was the usual choices you would find in England, using good quality local produce. Staff were pleasant and professional.
Price wise [ we stayed at a Bank Hoiday weekend] the cost was about two thirds of the price the nearest Premier Inn was asking, and we considered it good value.
Nothing is perfect, I personally felt the bathroom paint might need a freshen up and there was a cracked wall tile, but overall we were very happy with our choice and would use it again and recommend it to others.

  A very pleasant and relaxing short stay - My wife and I stayed at The Cock Inn en route from northeast Suffolk to a short break in Devon. We were delayed on our journey and the staff were... read more relaxed and understanding when we needed to check in later than the usual cutoff time. We had friendly service at the bar when we arrived and at breakfast the following morning. Our room was clean and comfortable and we felt that the B & B rate represented good value for money, both for the quality of our experience and compared with other nearby B & Bs we considered. It was also a good jumping-off point for the M25 and, had we needed it, probably also for Stansted Airport.
