Prompt pick-up and drop-off at Stansted airport, lovely location, excellent help-yourself breakfast room with everything you could possibly want for a huge continental breakfast! Comfortable bed, if a little squeaky.
Room would be very snug for two people with large cases. Minor touches needed like somewhere to hang your clothes in the bathroom, easily visible plug sockets (I finally discovered an extension under the bed, a little carpet cleaning needed for a stain of dubious origin and a hairdryer(as mentioned in the room brochure) Also, depending on wind direction, be prepared for the late-night noise from flights.
Overall: Overall, good value for money and a decent night's sleep!

Very charming hotel and area. Nice rooms.
I found the breakfast room a bit of a muddle but adequate.
It should be noted on the online booking site that the pub is shut on Sunday night as I had organised the evening around the idea thatwe could just walk over there. On the site it says "restricted service" which does not mean closed.
Overall: Pretty good. I like the taxi to the airport. A real plus.

The late check in arrangements worked very well. Due to my early start I did not actually see anyone at reception but was impressed that they subsequently rang to to make sure everything was OK.

Friendly owners. Good location. We were going to a concert at Audley End and it was an easy 25 minute drive from the hotel. Breakfast - excellent. Help yourself at any time and a good range of continent breakfast. A very good idea to allow guests to take breakfast at any time up to 11am. Gave lots of flexibility.
Main problem was the bed. We felt every spring as we turned over! Shower's hand held shower head left a lot to be desired.
Overall: Overall we enjoyed our stay and thought it provided good value for money. We would stay there again but hope for a different bed next time!

The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept well. The independent access to the accommodation was very useful and appreciated
There were no towels at all in the room when we checked in but this was remedied upon approaching our host. He apologised for the cleaner. There was very little toilet roll left and it ran out on the second morning. Despite advising our host of this first thing in the morning, there was no replacement in the room upon our return at about 9.30pm!! Again, it was cheerfully dealt with once we approached our host but we didn't expect to be doing that so late in the evening!
Overall: This is a budget hotel with a cheap and cheerful service. With no form of heating in the bathroom, the early morning experience was bracing! If the bed hadn't been comfortable, we would probably have tried to negotiate a discount.
