Very Nice B&B near Stansted Airport
Grange Guest House is a very nice B&B and Paulette is an excellent hostess. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast is cooked or continental, your choice. She even packed me a breakfast when I had a very early flight! It's close to the train station and the center of Bishop's Stortford. I needed a place to relax between a week in England and a tour of Ireland. This cute little town was perfect for me - some interesting shops and restaurants, good people-watching, and 1 train stop from Stansted Airport. I'll be back when I use Stansted again.

Happy Days in Bishops Stortford
We loved this quirky old house, full of character and very comfy. We received a friendly welcome, and the landlady was very helpful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble, and the breakfasts were excellent. The house is very conveniently placed for local shops, restaurants, and train station

Good location.
Was a nice overnight stay. Close to rail station and to several shops and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer to explorer the area.

Pillow bugs in room too bright for light sleepers
Good: Location (for a night before early Stansted flight) is excellent and host provided a bag of biscuits which was acceptable. Very bad: The curtain is see-through so it is impossible to achieve sufficient darkness for comfortable sleep for light sleepers. I had to turn my back on the bright (curtain) side of the room, therefore slept with one side of my face on the pillow. My right cheek which was in contact with the pillow is now full of bed bug bites. Also, the fire alarm went off briefly around 1.30am for no apparent reason, disrupting what was already a short and light sleep.

Thank you for your review and I am sorry you did not have a good night sleep. All our curtains are lined with cotton lining, not black out lining and you are the first person to complain about it in 15 years or so, you must be a really light sleeper and may be you should enquire in your chosen staying places which type of linings they have got in their room. As for the bed bugs I do not quite believe that as we have regular 'bugs inspection and spraying' as all reputable hotels or guest houses would have. Really sorry for the fire alarm, I do not know myself what happened there, I got up and went around he house and could not see anything suspicious. The only thing to say I suppose is that it is better to be safe than sorry. Regards, Grange Guest House

This guest house is pleasant in a nice road and the rooms are well equipped. However the morning that I left I was really un impressed with the landlady’s mannerisms.I did request a late checkout at midday. Just before midday I was on the phone to my friend who is helping me organise my fathers funeral. I was told I had to leave NOW and not in 10 minutes time,I found this unnecessary and rude.

We do have check-in and check-out time for a reason and you had plenty of time to get ready to leave on time. In fact you ended up leaving at around 12.15 which was unfortunately holding me back for my day's plan. An hotel with flexible check out time would certainly be better for your needs.

Value for money B&B
Decent enough B&B very local to Bishops Stortford town centre and railway station. The owner could not be more pleasant and helpful and a good breakfast provided.

Good, friendly place to stay
Convenient guest house with friendly staff. I had a climb up two flights of stairs to my room and the view was limited. But the room and bed were comfortable. Paulette was very accommodating with my food allergies at breakfast The location is convenient for the train station and walking into the town centre. Grange Road is not very well lit at night. I recommend carrying a torch/flashlight. Also the sidewalks are very narrow on the main road and the heavy traffic means you need to take care crossing at the bottom of Grange Road

A friendly guest house with a really homely feel. The owners went out of their way to ensure my baby and I were as comfortable as possible.

Good location for the airport
Easy to find, only a ten minute walk from the station. As I had an early flight Paulette made me a little "breakfast to go" bag. Only criticism is that there's frosted glass in the shared toilet, some people may find it off putting as a person's shape can be seen through the glass.

Stayed 2 nights and found it only a 7 minute walk from the train station and a 10 minute walk into the main town. Quiet neighbourhood, comfortable beds, good sized room and hearty breakfast. Friendly hosts. Will book there again.
