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.
Attended a local event so booked a room for the evening. Excellent experience. Friendly staff and locals. Room very clean and comfortable.

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.

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!
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

Check in was very easy, very friendly reception from Richard who showed us to our room.
The room was very clean, well stocked with tea and coffee, milk and bottled water. Plenty of complementary toiletries. The ensuite was very tiny but clean. Bed was firm but comfortable.
Location was great for Halstead's High Street.
Unfortunately for us, a fellow guest was very unwell in the room next to ours and as the walls were paper thin, we didn't get a good night's sleep. Although this is not under the control of the hotel, I think maybe they need to look at some sound proofing between the rooms - our bed was just a stud wall away from next doors bathroom - not the best thing to experience on a night away!
The overall look of the building needs a bit of attention. The pub's broken toilet windows are not very welcoming and make you wonder, on arrival, if youve made the right decision.
I wouldnt stay again but if we'd have had other "neighbours" then maybe that opinion would be different.
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.
