Quick book in. Spotless room. Lots of tea and coffee. 3rd time here. Perfect for the airport. 15 minute journey.
Room basic but very clean. Extremely good value for money. Food was pub grub style but very tasty. Very close to Stansted which was why we chose it and would definitely stay here again
Nice staff who were quick to show us to our room was great.
Room was clean, well equipped with drinks. The bedding & towels were fresh. Water was hot for a shower so well appreciated. Lots of toiletries included which was a nice touch.
Downside was the shower cubicle which had seen better days with both black & rust on it. The TV didn't work - it switched on but it couldn't find a digital aeriel - no big problem for one night's stay.
Very friendly and welcoming staff. There are three rooms in an annex behind the pub so you dont really get noise from the pub itself. Slept really well. Room was quite cold when i arrived and no heating on in the evening, which was a shame. Could do with switching heating on at this time of year. Bathroom bit mouldy in places but minimal. For the price i would say really good value.
Clean room and a friendly pub with a good value menu

Friendly staff, reasonably priced food and a decent room.
Unfortunately the room was just off the garden which was busy and very noisy so we got hardly any sleep and had to up at 3.30
Providing ear plugs would be a good idea.
Pleasant staff. Very accommodating with our request for an ealier than 3pm checkin. The room was tidy and clean, although the light shades needed dusting and the toilet seat was broken. A good selection of tea, coffee etc and biscuits. Juice was a welcome surprise. Overall a pleasant stay.
Ideal for my use, short stay to attend a concert nearby , Taxi service recomended was great. Room clean, plentiful tea and coffee. Bathroom clean, maybe would benefit from a little TLC sealant renewing etc but fine for our stay
Basic room in converted out building. Beds not great but ok for an overnight prior to a morning flight. The pub was convenient for food and drinks in the evening
