I went here for valentines day. i actually live just down the road and have been here a few times for functions and to meet friends who come to stay there. i was particularly disappointed with how basic the room was. it was an executive suite although i would hate to have seen anything on a lower par. the setting... more

We have had 2 celebrations for my mother's 90th birthday, one on 18 January for her actual birthday and consisted of a private room with lunch for 20 people. The organisation was excellent and all went without a hitch. The food was delicious and the staff looked after us brilliantly. Nothing was too much trouble. It was children, grandchildren and... more

Have not stayed overnight but it is a great meeting location, with possibility to negotiate use of heath club to day-meeting attendees. Quite close to Stansted airport (sometimes will hear the planes softly in the background.). more

We had our wedding at this hotel and most of the guests including myself and the groom stayed at this hotel for 2 nights.

We stayed for two nights and the glossy website and initial impressions were very promising. Staff throughout (maids excepted) were always great but then you get behind the facade and things are not as good. Cleanliness is a biggie for us and a toilet seat with yellowing edges and brown splashes dried underneath is not a great start. The pot... more

I agree with the previous review - nice staff but too young and inexperienced. What is required is a really good manager to train them - perhaps young staff have been hired as they are cheaper? Lovely grounds - I was really impressed driving up to the hotel but then you walk in and it's an average conference centre type... more
