Situated in the quiet hamlet of Littley Green in the heart of the Essex countryside, The Compasses is a Victorian Pub steeped in history and tradition. With free on-site parking and free Wi-Fi access for all guests, it also offers a bar and a restaurant. Everything. Last minute booking (day before) nad we were delighted. Gorgeous little spot. The pub was fab, the meal was great. Room had everything - plenty of space and a comfy bed - all we needed for one night as we were touring the area. Have stayed in 15+ place over the UK in the past month and this was the best in terms of value and how nice it was.

Guests at The Limes By Luigis Al Fresco can enjoy full English breakfasts made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It was lovely decorated room, the tv you could use your channels if you wished and could pull the tv out to watch in bed. Water biscuits and tea coffee in room. The toiletries I wouldn’t normally use but very good quality and smelt nice so I did. Very comfortable stay.
