The property was a lot shabbier than it looked in the photos. They tried to take payment two days before we arrived, even tho I chose pay on arrival. The staff were a bit bolshy about it when I called. We booked a ‘King’ room but it was only a double bed. I’m not following up as it was only one night and visiting relatives. Would not stay here again

Really liked the pub. We stayed for a wedding in the local area. Accommodation was quiet, bed was comfortable and the bed linen and towels were great quality.

Lovely little find! We stayed there as we were going to a gig at Audley End. The staff were extremely friendly, very helpful in organising our taxi to and from the gig. Foodwise, we enjoyed a lovely lunch outside and the breakfast the next morning was delicious (perfect after the festivities at Audley End). Very reasonably priced, clean rooms. Would definitely stay again and will be telling all my friends!

Country pub only 20 minutes from Stansted, good location for early flights. Rooms were good, beds were really comfortable and good shower. We left before breakfast started at 8am, and heard several leaving before us so it would be nice if there was a to go option of a breakfast bar, yogurt, piece of fruit etc.

Great setting next to pretty village green, great breakfast, comfortable bed. Some attention needed to facilities, eg shower drainage, potholes near building, needed to request several basic items at breakfast.
