Unjustified parking fine
They billed me £100 as a parking despite giving me a free car parking ticket that I displayed on my dashboard all night
Booked a 2 night stay here to accomodate myself and workforce whilst doing a job nearby.
Check in was great but once we enetered our rooms it was clear the bed and rooms were cold and damp!
To add to this, it was then we found there was no hot water to have showers, all 5 men then returned to reception to request a room change, We were told that there were no more rooms available with hot water.
after having a long day at work we decided it would be easier to brave a cold shower which was horrible, but hoped that this would be addressed the following day.
After tossing and turning all night with hardly any sleep because of the lack of heating and damp bedding.
The following day was again a long day on site and after returning to the hotel around 7pm we were then further dissapointed as the problems had not been rectified in our rooms. they did manage to move 3 of the guys but were told they would have to share rooms, but we had paid for 5 rooms. This again was very dissapointing but a couple of the lads agreed whilst the rest of us ahd to again take cold showers and sleep in our clothes.
The hotel in general is stunning and i have stayed here previously, but it seems the extra rooms they are supplying over in a different building were the problem.
We were offered no refund for the rooms we did not receive nor any apology for the problems we were encountering. The management here really need to get a grip. Hotels.com have since tried to help but have been ignored also! FUMING!
A smart hotel, with pleasant surroundings. Food in the restaurant was excellent, and very reasonably priced.
The planes to and and from Stansted were regular, but we were aware of this before our stay, and it didn’t cause us any issues.
Stayed overnight for Stansted airport. Lovely room left too soon as to see the area but felt cery warm and inviting. The staff on reception super helpful

Great location for Stansted with free parking. Very friendly, clean and the bed was comfy! When the restaurant opens it’ll be perfect for a stop over for those early flights!
Quirky manor house Hotel. Nice room classed as a suite, but only high level skylights which really closes it in. Space much better suited to a family room.
Very nice restaurant, menu OK, food OK and fairly reasonably priced. If you don't like liw flying aircraft passing overhead every few minutes it's not for you. Overall it was very good value.
Beware dangerously hot shower - scalded me!! (Room 53 - left a note for management but had to leave for my flight)
Good:
Convenient location for airport.
Clean room.
Super comfy bed.
Free parking.
Welcoming staff.
Not so good:
WiFi did not work.
Shower is rain style and no shower cap so not ideal if you don't want wet hair (would be better with a handheld shower also).
TV needs re-tuneing
Exceptionally bad:
Shower takes 10 mins to come through warm.
After this the water is DANGEROUSLY HOT on what is supposed to be the coolest setting. The thermostat dial is plumbed in wrong so when you turn to cold this unleashed scalding hot water (no kidding it felt like a kettle) onto me, being a rain shower this is full body coverage, so I had to jump out the shower so quickly to prevent serious injury. Yes there is a 'cation very hot water' sticker but this underestimates the temperature, as no shower should be uncomfortably hot as the lowest temperature.
If you use the shower please, please be careful!!!!!
Carpark in total darkness, reception was uninviting, the room was freezing as radiator didnt work, windows wouldn't shut properly so cold air was whistling in. But bed was ok

The not so Great Hallingbury Manor Hostile.
The GHMH was hugely disappointing. I arrived at the hotel to find the bar & restaurant closed - this was due to a renovation, but this was not communicated until I arrived and paid. I was accommodated in Room 50 which is located across the road in the lodgings. To cross to the accommodation involves crossing a poorly light road which has the potential for a fatal road accident. The rooms are said to have WiFi, but this was not available throughout the stay. After repeated visits to reception to enquire if this would be resolved I resigned myself to the fact that they didn’t care. Over the 3 nights the room was not serviced (Clean towels etc) or the tea tray replenished. Looks nice in pictures… but avoid.
