Staff were great, organised food even though pub very busy. Comfotable room.
Room basic but very clean. Extremely good value for money. Food was pub grub style but very tasty. Very close to Stansted which was why we chose it and would definitely stay here again
Ideal for my use, short stay to attend a concert nearby , Taxi service recomended was great. Room clean, plentiful tea and coffee. Bathroom clean, maybe would benefit from a little TLC sealant renewing etc but fine for our stay
Nice staff who were quick to show us to our room was great.
Room was clean, well equipped with drinks. The bedding & towels were fresh. Water was hot for a shower so well appreciated. Lots of toiletries included which was a nice touch.
Downside was the shower cubicle which had seen better days with both black & rust on it. The TV didn't work - it switched on but it couldn't find a digital aeriel - no big problem for one night's stay.
Clean and tidy, the accommodation is a quirky building at the rear of the pub. Basic but quite acceptable for the price. Conveniently situated for Great Dunlop and the start of a bike ride I was taking part in.
Very friendly and welcoming staff. There are three rooms in an annex behind the pub so you dont really get noise from the pub itself. Slept really well. Room was quite cold when i arrived and no heating on in the evening, which was a shame. Could do with switching heating on at this time of year. Bathroom bit mouldy in places but minimal. For the price i would say really good value.
Pleasant staff. Very accommodating with our request for an ealier than 3pm checkin. The room was tidy and clean, although the light shades needed dusting and the toilet seat was broken. A good selection of tea, coffee etc and biscuits. Juice was a welcome surprise. Overall a pleasant stay.
Basic room in converted out building. Beds not great but ok for an overnight prior to a morning flight. The pub was convenient for food and drinks in the evening
