"A great night sleep near Stanstead"

8.0

Comfortable bed and nice room. Lots of fun car related touches and plenty of options for breakfast. There is a whole kitchen which can be used which was a nice change to normal hotels. Also considering it was so close to Stanstead airport, it was pretty quiet and I slept really well. Location is really handy for the airport. Host was friendly too

It can be a bit tricky to find especially at night.

"Very enjoyable stay, Melvyn made me feel very welcome wouldn’t hesitate to come back"

10.0

Melvyn was super friendly and made me feel very welcome and relaxed. The facilities were excellent and super clean and yeah, I had a really nice relaxed atmosphere.

The room was a little bit warm, but it did have a big Velux window and a ceiling fan to help cool you down and it was a very hot day so it’s not surprising.
