Top Great Baddow Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Immaculate room. Tasty breakfast served with a smile from Jeanie. Couldn’t get closer to the airport. My only sort of criticism was that we appeared to have to queue at the bar in the evening for a drink which the customers did, but the staff ignored !!!"

Days Inn by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Great stopover hotel for Stansted Airport"

Pontlands Park

10/10 Excellent

"As soon as we drove down the drive, I fell in love with this Country House hotel & the grounds. We were welcommed immediately & looked after through out our stay. Location was perfect for A12, also to walk into the village was an option. The menu was excellant."

The Essex Golf and Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"This was our 6th stay at The Essex and we never have any complaints. The rooms are good size and have been recently refurbished. The location is nice and quiet, with a nice walk round the local airfield"

Seven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely location, beautiful views. The staff were really lind and helpful. Great bed in the room and good air con. Bathrooms let the room down slightly, small and some maintenance issues I.e. towel rail almost coming off the wall and unstable shampoo dispenser. Room service was a greay luxury and nice to have free parking, although could do with better signage, we struggled to find initially- the carpark entrance is literally next to the front entrance of the hotel, you can't see it until you are right in front of it."

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel. Ideal for me as I'm a regular visitor to London for the football, I find this hotel an ideal base being so close to the airport. My wife travels with me and we find everything about this hotel is just right, the staff are super friendly which is the biggest plus of all. If only my team were as accommodating at keeping me happy."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying here. Great place, friendly staff, room was really nice. Still the only downside is having to pay for parking, should be free for those staying at the hotel in my opinion."

ibis London Thurrock M25

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were exceptional"
