Friendly and great value
Lovely pub. The room was in an outbuilding behind it - simple but clean and nicely decorated. Friendly welcome and great service. Mattress wasn't the most comfortable, but all in all a lovely place to stay at a very good price - I would definitely stay again.

Check in was easy. Friendly and efficient. Check out is at 10am every where else seems to be 11am.
Dog friendly.
Not able to park in the car park so a residential side road.

Great place to stay before a Stansted flight.
An excellent place to stay before an early flight from Stansted. Only drawback was the taxi fare of £31 to get to the airport.
Very friendly welcome, even though it was late at night when we arrived.
Would definitely stay there again.

The pub was lovely on the inside very clean and comfortable. Rooms were lovely like little cottages in the garden. Both our rooms were clean and comfortable. Plenty of coffee tea milk sugar on the welcome tray. Lovely towels and bedding. Really welcoming friendly staff. Good food at a decent price available. The only thing we didn't like was people standing in the open doorway smoking which is only a few feet away from the tables where we were eating so they might as well have been sitting at our table doing it

Lady that checked us in was lovely.
No hanging space, not even a hook!
Shower area was mouldy.
Curtain rail fell down in the night and due to outside lights facing the room we were unable to sleep.
Beds lumpy but clean
Ok for a night but nothing more
Emailed to let them know as we left early but have been ignored
Very average.

1 night budget stay max if desperate
Sadly the stay wasnt as enjoyable as hoped. The mattresses we completely worn out to the point youd sink through the springs and onto the wooden board of the beds. We luckily went on a hot day so we could sleep ontop of the duvet for extra cushioning.
The shower was stained red on the floor and there were obvious bits of mould around the shower cubicle too.
The heater in the room didnt work (we tried for curiosity) and the shower we didnt use as it wasnt clean.
Staff were friendly and helpful though and its a short bus ride away from the airport.
