Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: 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.
Negative: 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.
Summary: A very pleasant stay, not just by the quality of the hotel but for sure by the welcoming staff.
