"A very pleasant stay, not just by the quality of the hotel but for sure by the welcoming staff."

10.0

Our stay was very pleasant. The hotel was very clean and the staff couldn’t more friendly. From Jackie at the devotion to the girls in the bar /restaurant. All made us feel very welcome and they were all very helpful.

To be honest, there is nothing I can really pinpoint without been unfair. We stayed there due to the proximity to Stansted airport as we were catching an early flight. Yes it took us a bit longer to reach the airport as the road to the hotel is a proper country roads but the landscape is beautiful and made up for the distance. So nothing really wrong . It’s a beautiful hotel to stay hotel and for sure very good quality price.
