    Basic accommodation - clean sheets, soap and towels, tea and coffee - it was fine for one night!
    • Leisure trip

    • Double Room

    Worst thing was the grimy/dirty looking bathroom door. Some vaguely questionable things like old carpet, bed kinda lumpy, decor and furnishings a bit chipped/shabby. Its an old building and there were random unmarked steps and slopes we kept falling up/down! LOL! It was VERY basic, but to be honest we just needed somewhere to crash for 1 night after a wedding, so the towels, soap and clean bed made it perfectly ok.

    The lady who let us in was nice and chatty. The bed sheets were obviously clean and the bed freshly made which was the most important thing! We had 2 large clean towels, a small amount of soap, 1.5 loo rolls, and tea and coffee making stuff. The curtains were dark so it wasn't full blast daylight at 5.30am, and the double glazing kept out a fair amount of town noise, plus the heating was working. Bathroom was pretty clean. Coat-hangers and mirror, quite a few plug sockets. It was a simple check in/out, and easy to get in when we got back late. I would probably stay there again.

    A nice hotel with a cool, historical room for a 1-2 night stay near Stansted airport.

    There was no AC and the windows were rather small.

    Room was cozy and quiet, while having very traditional English pub room vibes. Beautiful and unique looking room and not far from the train station (had to catch a very early flight at Stansted), only about a 10-15 minute walk.

    The vent in the bathroom was broken and there were traces of mould in the bathroom. Otherwise everything was great.

    Central location, very easy to check-in and checkout, provided clean linen and towels, coffee/tea provided.i arrived late in the evening and they had everything prepared for me to get the keyfob and get to the room.

    The entrance and communal areas need work, and didn't inspire security wise. But we didn't have any issues at all, just gave an impression.

    Rooms were clean and warm with comfortable bedding

    Would come back in a heartbeat
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Would be nice if the tv was a more modern one, where you can watch Netflix etc., not only cable TV. The reception desk was almost always empty with a telephone number to call if you had an issue -- we called twice, on the first and second day, once we got through, and once no one picked up and never called back. There were only two small shampoo/body wash sachets in the bathroom, enough for one person, but hardly enough for two grown ups, especially if both of them want to wash their hair. There was also only one not full toilet paper roll, and since no one was picking up the phone, the toilet was paperless for half of the stay

    The owner was nice enough to upgrade us to a larger room for the same price, so that we could fit comfortably with two children Very helpful owner Great location, walking distance from the train station, from where it takes 9 minutes to get to Stansted Airport by train Free wifi Very clean Lots of restaurants nearby Free baby cot Comfortable bed Large, spacious room Quite and peaceful

    i hoped for a warm room with clean bedding and shower room with everything working properly with light switches by the headboard and somewhere to hang my coat and clothes, a working kettle and tea/coffee etc i got all that; great to have two chairs available for watching TV too. its in a handy location.

    Good Value Accommodation For Early / Late Stansted Flights
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The hotel is on a main road in the town so at the weekend there are people out until late and you may hear some noise from the street - not within the hotel's control but something to be aware of. The hotel is old and has not been updated for a while - although it is clean, secure and has everything you need for your stay.

    This is my go-to place when arriving late or leaving early from Stansted. There is a 24-hour bus to the airport from Bishop's Stortford (£2) which stops nearby. The hotel is a (very) old pub and the age of the rooms reflects this. The lady that has checked me in on my stays is very helpful and kind. The room had a comfy bed, wall-mounted TV and kettle with tea and coffee. The bathroom has a large shower and soap, shower gel and shampoo are provided. Be aware that this is an old building and old hotel when booking.

    Small reading lamp would have been useful but that’s just me.

    The woman at was really helpful and friendly , we booked last minute and was perfect for what we needed. No frills but excellent value for money. Room was clean as was bathroom. Very central and easy access to a good Choi of restaurants, cafe and lovely pub. Many thanks to the female member of staff at the hotel.
