Chimneys44 Lower Street, CM24 8LR Stansted Mountfitchet (Show map) Exceptional, Score from 41 reviews“Chimneys is a beautiful place to stay. Excellent room, breakfast and host. Would return.”
Leanne,
Kensington
A delightful 17th century detached house situated in the heart of the historical Norman village of Stansted Mountfitchet, this inn is individually decorated and furnished to an exceptionally high standard. Just 10 minutes by car from Stansted Airport and a 3 minute walk from Stansted Mountfitchet train station, the hotel is situated in the heart of a historic village with many properties dating back to the 16th century. There is a fine selection of restaurants all within a short walk of Chimneys, including 4 pubs and 6 restaurants as well as 3 take-out places. Whether you are looking for a relaxing break in this beautiful part of England or simply needing to be near Stansted Airport, you will enjoy your stay. Unfortunately the hotel has no elevator.

We came to Chimneys because it was close to Stansted Airport and because in the photographs it looked better than the competition. We were pleasantly surprised just how good our decision had been! The immediate and warm welcome, the 4 star and luxurious feel, the superb breakfast and the general helpfulness and friendliness of the hosts was above our high expectations. We really did enjoy the few hours that we had and will definitely stay there again when we next visit England and will be recommending it to many other people who are on their way to come and visit us here in Croatia. It is also important to note that there was absolutely no noise from aeroplanes or from traffic even though we were just 5 minutes drive from the airport! Excellent place.

The location so near to our daughter's new home in Stanstead Mountfitchet was initially the primary reason for selecting Chimneys. We were most positively not disappointed with our selection and would hope to repeat the most enjoyable experience of our first stay at Chimney's as soon as another family gathering is being organised.

I thoroughly enjoyed the warm welcome, the small attention to detail. Fresh milk in the room for tea or coffee, little jar of chocolate biscuits etc. The residence is located near to a selection of restaurants, Italian, Indian and a few other bistros. Eating it was not a problem. Breakfast was excellent, selection of continental style or full English all with a choice of teas or fresh coffee. I would most definitely recommend a stay here.

It was a very pleasant place, the area was excellent in having a good choice of restaurants. I always prefer guest houses to often impersonal hotels.

Chimneys comprises 3 old cottages now cleverly and thoughtfully integrated. Our room was clean, well appointed and well ordered. The bed was comfortable and the room snug and warm. Hot water was always instantly available. Our host was very helpful and always keen to see that our needs were being met. And the English breakfasts served were a splendid start to each day.... We will stay there again when we next visit Stansted; a village that shows all the signs of being cared for by its residents. Please pass these comments on to The Chimneys' owners. Regards, Graham and Sally Culver.

The directions I was given from the railway station at Stansted Mountfitchet to Chimneys were very clear making it easy to find on foot. On arrival, I received a warm welcome from Iain, the proprietor, who insisted on carrying my case up the rather steep staircase to my room, warning me about the low wooden beams on the way! Chimneys is comfortably furnished and attractively decorated with my room having a nautical theme which appealed to me. When I requested toileteries that were supposed to be provided but were not, Iain immediately produced these with profuse apologies for this oversight. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless and the bed quite firm so good for those with back problems. My single room (I forget the name!) was very quiet and had dark curtains which allowed me to get a good nights sleep, The full English breakfast was excellent and set me up for my flight from Stansted later in the morning. Iain ordered a local taxi to take me to the airport about 10mins away. I would thoroughly recommend Chimneys and would not hesitate in going there again.

Enjoyed the character and quality of fitments and extras - fresh milk and biscuits on the complimentary tea tray and availability of dressing gowns. Excellent location for Stansted Airport providing quality guest house accommodation instead of more plastic modern hotels adjacent to the airport.

Great room with a wonderfull English breakfast not very far from stansted aiport. In my room and the room next to me the sink and the toilet are connected to a saniflow system that makes noise. The water for the shower was heated with a small electrical system that made noise as well. In principle not a problem only annoying if somebody during the night goes to the toilet; showers very early. Besides this all I would like to recommend this guest house and would definitely stay here again.

A beautiful property with a clean and goodsized room, plenty of hot water. The breakfast was lovely, served in a gorgeous room with beautiful linen and home made preserves . It certainly deserves its 4 star rating.

Our room was delightful, crisp cotton linen & beds were very comfy. We were greeted warmly & offered a pot of tea & biscuits, which we kindly accepted. Our hosts had thought of everything from bathrobes to hot water bottles, well you never know with the british summer. A well cooked " full english breakfast " was delicious along with fresh fruits, yoghurts, cereals even marmite & peanut butter, oh and the home made jams were to die for..............

We stayed there as we were flying from Stansted Airport early the next day and did not want to be stuck at the airport the night before, which would have been the case had we booked any of the airport hotels.Our room was spotless, the owner was most helpful and gave us plenty of advise on where to eat in the village of Stansted Mountfitchet. We had a lovely meal at the local Indian and a nice pint afterwards in a local pub.Trip to the airport in the morning (took a train) was so easy and uncomplicated, took 6 minutes and saved us money.The train station is only 5 minute walk from Chimneys. Would definetely stay again when travelling from Stansted Airport. Not a big fan of souless Airport hotels, like to give my money to great small business's such as Chimneys! Cannot think of anything I didn't like. The room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. We didn't have time for breakfast, but the owner was kind enough to offer some croisants and fruits for our journey.What a gem. We slept well and were refreshed to carry on our journey.Next time we fly from Stansted or need room in this area I would definetely stay here again!

“The stay was quite pleasant - good breakfast: four or five different cereals, jams, different types of bread, tea, coffee, different juices, scrambled eggs, beans, sausages, some apples, some canned orange and grapefruit? slices to go with it all and a few other things. The AC worked fine - to suit any temperature necessary. Transportation was a lot cheaper than that offered by other hotels in the vicinity of this one - 2 GBP in one direction, 2GBP in the other (=4GBP total). Some alternatives ask 9GBP for one direction alone.” Martin, Jurmala |
