I stayed at the Green man, and will never again. It's like a trip back to the grubby victorian times. At first it looks charming, with the the old inn look on the front building, but when you go through to what looks like a more modern building; it all goes wrong from there. The carpet looks like it's been there forever and a day, and there is a strange musky smell. When I went into the room, it was so dated, it would have taken my great grandfather back to his youth. The furniture in the room was delapidated, the carpet stained. The sink was blocked (which took them days to fix). The bath was grubby, and it was one of those showers; built in to the taps. Yes it didn't work properly.The bedding was something from my grandmother's days. There is absolutely no ventilation in the rooms,they just supply a fan if asked for. While sat in the court yard having a drink, females of the working description would be seen; going in and out visiting the buliding. This was due to the large poulation of workers staying at the hotel, who use a lot of colourful language. The head mangeress who intoduced herself as Lisa, would sit with these workers joining in; so seemed pretty pointless complaining to her about it. She would also be seen, leaving said workers rooms late at night. The food was ok, the beer terrible.

Having to stay over near Harlow, Essex, looked for a reasonably priced hotel, and using various internet searches this hotel / pub came up, and a good price.

On arrival was greeted by a cheery receptionist, who took payment and explained the facilities.

This is an old pub, in the old part of Harlow. The Pub is nice and quaint.

The rooms are a modern extension at the rear, but this didn't distract from the atmosphere.

The room itself was clean and comfortable with all the usual facilities. Although a little dated, this was more then adequate especially for the great price we paid.

Food is available at extra cost from their restaurant, or there are plenty of local places to go.

If in the area, and just want a basic comfortable good value room, this is the place to go.

my husband and i took two very dear friends to lunch here last sunday,.the food was excellent, we all had the roast, the service was a little slow,but all the staff were extremely friendly and very professional, so we did'nt mind, we all agreed we would go back again.

The rooms are located in a separate accommodation block to the rear of the hotel just a very short walk across the car park entrance. The block was close to having a refurbishment completed and so the hall and stairwells were still to be slightly improved (this was no issue however as the effort being made was very evident) but the room itself was fully renovated and it was really good. It was very clean and extremely spacious with an enormous double bed (two single mattresses in one bed base) which was very comfortable. As the hotel is in a village location, there was no external, or even internal noise, which made for a great night’s sleep. The room was well equipped with tv, tea & coffee facilities, hairdryer etc. We didn’t eat breakfast there but we did have dinner in the pub’s restaurant and that was decent. Overall the hotel was very good value.
