Great hotel for a night before using Stansted Airport. Lovely welcome from the reception team. Very dog friendly. Good room, nice and spacious. Lots of hot water. The sofa bed was a little lumpy. Can't comment on breakfast as we departed before it opened. Would recommend for the price and would happily return.

For the price it was ok. Room had everything needed like iron, hairdryer as didn’t expect it. But room was very cold was provided with electric heater but would not expect that in hotel. As on one night forgot to switch on and the room was so cold, so would have paid more and stayed in another hotel. Free breakfast was offered but was so bad quality food.

A night stay

Unfortunately the heating appeared not to be working and were provided with an electric heater which for one of us was hardly sufficient. Bed was hard, and the pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. Shame really as a little more care and awareness and this hotel could be excellent.
