We were taking an early morning flight from Stansted so the location was perfect. The room is in the roof area of a very old building so low doors and ceilings. Check in was via a key code which was sent in advance and all went smoothly. Beds were comfy, the room warm and perfect for an overnight stay. I would have preferred a shower but there was only a bath but it wasn't a problem, it was in the description, everything was clean and fresh. We ate downstairs in the bar, the food was great and if anyone deserves a mention is was the lady working the bar, she was a diamond, very pleasant and friendly and made the stay even more enjoyable. Bear in mind the building is 400 years old so it has its own character. 5 stars.

Everything, although as we were on the top floor, it did get quite warm overnight and the fan provided didn’t quite cool the room down. Nevertheless, this summer (Autumn, as it’s now mid Sep) has been an Indian one at that with days exceeding 30+ deg.

Upon reading some of the reviews, I was quite skeptical to book the room, especially as I was traveling with a 5 year old kid. But for 44 pounds, I thought we could try it and if we didn’t like it, we could just get to another hotel. The hotel met my expectation just fine. The check-in process was a breeze. The lady who checks you in is very kind and understanding (unlike some of the bad reviews). She gave us a room with 3 beds as I had a child with me; we chatted a little bit and she was definitely the HIGHLIGHT of our stay. She has been with the hotel for a decade and is an extremely kind and knowledgeable manager. The hotel and the rooms are old but very clean. The linen, the towels and the room was spotless. We had hot water; a kettle with tea and coffee. Plugs are not in perfect places but keep in mind its an old building. The location is right in town center; 5 mins walk to a Waitrose and 10mins walk to the train station. I had absolutely nothing to complain about. Keep your expectations aligned with the reality that it’s an old hotel and you will be fine.

Great character pub with excellent food and staff very helpful & friendly. Room was not large but was comfortable and what I'd expect for pub accommodation. Great value.
