"Lovely stay in a great location"

9.0

The rooms were lovely and comfortable, with all the required amenities, although note that the single bed room doesn't have a desk. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the location in the centre of the town makes it very easy to explore - it's also only 20 minutes from Stansted airport.

There was noise from the pub in the evenings, which is to be expected, so bring earplugs. The parking is also a bit of a nightmare because the pub patrons use it even though it's meant to be reserved for guests. I had to park down the street in the free car park and walk up to the pub, and peer out the window to see when a space opened up.
