Smooth check in, very warm and friendly landlord. He showed me up to the room and talked me through the code to get in from outside. I've lived in Wivenhoe before so didn't need any local info.
The room was very small with one small window up high, and a low bed. This made me feel quite boxed in. It was warm and clean but every few minutes a door slammed downstairs making the whole room shake.
I didn't know there would be no breakfast in the restaurant, and was quite looking forward to having humans around me on Christmas morning. Instead I found a tray of cold pastries and fruit outside my room. This made me feel isolated. If you're going to charge £116 for a room, please do make it better value for money. I paid the same for an amazing room with free mini bar and amazing breakfast at Greyfriars ! All in all, A nice place but way overpriced for what it is.

My most recent experience of The Flag sadly involved a family funeral. Principal mourners stayed in the hotel's accommodation and without exception reported excellent facilities and comfort. The Monday evening saw 33 family and friends served a pre-ordered meal which again was seen to be faultless - efficient friendly staff made the evening an occasion for happy memories. Food was excellent and drinks were served efficiently and speedily. A post-funeral reception for 80 people was held on the Tuesday afternoon and past off without a hitch with attenders able to mingle effectively. The organisation of the entire funeral was made so much easier by by prompt and coherent responses to the many queries that arose. My wife and I had enjoyed many meals at The Flag since it re-opened and so it was natural to choose it for her funeral wake and reception. The staff didn't let us down - she would have so enjoyed it!

We had a lovely meal last night at the flag. We were a large group which is never easy for the kitchen. We did have a couple of small issues (down to technical issues) but were quickly and professionally dealt with and didn't have a negative effect on our night. The food is amazing, a beautiful place and great cocktails. We live locally and are so glad to have this fantastic restaurant on our doorstep.

Lovely stay with gorgeous continental breakfast. Room was great except only one hook on back of door to hang clothes which is not enough. Would also like to see a shelf in shower for shampoo etc instead of having to place on the shower tray
Perfect otherwise though

Love staying here and am a regular. This last stay was ruined by lack of sleep. My room (4) was directly above the kitchen and someone was working in there noisily until 0130 when I went downstairs to find out how long the noise would continue.

Very pleased to see The Flag given a new lease of life as a former local returning to visit family! The rooms are very well thought out, immaculately clean and beautifully decorated (compliments to the designer!). Bed was extremely comfortable. Biscuits, water jug and coffee machine were all lovely touches. Staff very friendly and helpful - clearly passionate about this place. Only minor negative was the en suite sliding door tends to slide back open, but should be an easy fix. Bar/restaurant very nice but a bit on the pricey side.

Booked this hotel last minute. On arrival I was met by Hannah who was absolutely amazing. Showed me to my room and made sure i had everything I needed. When I asked about where to eat, Hannah did not say straight away in our restaurant but she explained all the places around this location. What I liked was she didn’t give bad review on any of them. For that reason I decided to eat in the restaurant of the hotel. Wow glad I did, absolutely amazing. I had the ribs to start, beautiful and the slaw was the best. For my mains I had the crispy belly pork. What can I say, this was another level. It was one of the best meals I have had this year. I met Aron the chief afterwards and what a gentleman. Aron’s food is incredible. Highly recommend his food. Food and accommodation is first class. 10/10 on both.
