Very Good

Very welcoming stay. Bedroom was really clean and confy. Wonderful breakfast. Host advised on locally points of interest. Hope to be able to stay again.
We had a lovely stay. The hosts were welcoming and friendly - they clearly enjoy and take pride in their job. The room was clean, comfortable and well stocked with amenities (after a long day the hot chocolate was well needed!). Breakfast in the morning was excellent quality.
Easy to park, friendly welcome, comfortable room and very nice breakfast. No complaints at all.

Great landlord - welcoming and super friendly. Superb range of real ales and an awesome full English breakfast.
Room was comfortable, fairly spacious (we had the triple) and clean. Broom was a little compact and basic.
Overall a good friendly pub with basic but good facilities.
Richard was welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Breakfast was good too.

Room was clean and owner provided everything for our one night stay. Pub had a lot of character although needed some tlc in some areas. Bed was very comfortable.
The gentleman running the inn was warm and friendly, helpful too as I had direction troubles for an event and so he googled it and printed it and for the next day I got there. A very homely comfortable feeling I thought. If I'm ever back in the area I will stay there again.
We had a well equipped en-suite room in this convenient location.
Our only complaint is that the mattresses were a little firm.
There was a nice bar area.
Parking was very convenient.
Perfect for a one night stay.

Very expensive for basic accommodation. En suite very small, no evening food available. Landlord very friendly.
I slept very well for the night. Very welcoming host who offered a double bed on my arrival. Room was very clean with an excellent selection of hot drinks and a kettle. The first place I have stayed that had soya milk in the room so I was able to have a nice cuppa in the morning. Thank you will stay again!
Ultra friendly and nice little inn. We were staying overnight for a wedding locally and this was an ideal location. Small but well-appointed room with some nice little touches (loads of tea, coffee and water) and a great friendly welcome from the landlord. We had a couple of drinks in the pub before the wedding and all the pub regulars were charming and welcoming. And the pint (s) of mild I had wete sublime. Would definitely use this Inn again if in the area.
I found the Dog Inn to be in a great location when staying in Halstead. The pub landlord, Richard, gave me a warm and friendly welcome and showed me my room on arrival to ensure I was happy with the room and its facilities which I was. This was greatly appreciated. I had a comfortable two night stay and the breakfasts were both good too. Real ales available in the bar in the evening. Halstead has a thriving high street with a nice range of useful shops and restaurants. There is a pleasant public park and I enjoyed a good few hours in the large Antiques centre in a former Mill building. Many thanks Richard for an enjoyable stay
