Braintree Experience Days

We visited Grinkle Park for a champagne afternoon tea to celebrate a 90th birthday. We had a really lovely time! The hotel itself is very interesting and everywhere is spotlessly clean. We were seated in the conservatory overlooking the gardens. The staff were welcoming , friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, plentiful and well presented . Extra tea and coffee was available if required. I would definitely recommend a visit! Thank you to everyone at Grinkle Park..

Gift purchased by our son for his Mum's birthday. Have a brilliant time in Devon revisiting a number of places we saw some 25 years ago. Will definitely be going back. Bed and Breakfast at Monkton brilliant. Good clean room, owner very helpful and friendly and served breakfast in our room. Fantastic.

Great service, delicious meal, lovely restaurant with a good atmosphere. We really couldn't fault it

It was a lovely afternoon with the family, full of laughter and cheering

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hatton Court Hotel in November 2025. The staff were friendly , polite and very helpful, the bedrooms were spacious, the food was very well presented and it was delicious. The deal we had was for 2 nights' stay with breakfast included on both mornings and £25 towards 1 evenings' meal. Afternoon tea was also included. As the restaurant was so good, we actually ate at the hotel on the second night too. Although the hotel is a little remote, there are some great views of the town and surrounding countryside. We visited Gloucester Docks and Gloucester Cathedral too. Well worth a visit. Looking forward to our next visit. We highly recommend The Hatton Court Hotel.

Booked this as a gift for my husband and we both went together. Beautiful pod with its own fishing peg, clean and warm and so comfy, small fridge freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster and a little bit of storage space was absolutely perfect just for the night or possibly 2. Met the owners and they were absolutely lovely and really helpful couldn’t ask for more! Toilet block was a very short walk away with a little washing up station they were absolutely immaculate. Would definitely recommend.
