The Gem is a Hidden Gem

A gorgeous find near Stansted Airport. Short walk to the hotel from Stansted Mountifitchet Station - 10 minutes maximum depending on pace. This place has more of a gastro pub dining with rooms feel to it. Rooms are beautiful. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Food was top notch, amazing Fillet Steak with Blue Cheese Sauce - small menu but all looked lovely. Good draught beers and cocktails looked really good! Options to get to Stansted are taxi if leaving early - around 10 mins and a normal car cost £28.50 for 4 people. Trains run from about 0530 to the airport taking 13 mins and costs £4.60. Didn’t get to have breakfast sadly as left too early but if dinner was anything to judge it by it would have been lovely. Will definitely stay here again.

Un séjours sur mesure. Un accueil chaleureux, un personnel agréable et très professionnel. La carte du restaurant est superbe, pour un français en Angleterre c’était parfait! La pièce de bœuf est tendre et bonne et la cuisson était parfaite. Les St jacques sont incroyables ! Je recommande! L’hôtel a du cachet, la literie est très confortable, j’ai fait une nuit réparatrice, et j’ai adoré le chic à l’anglaise. Il y a une superbe ambiance dans ce lieu, j’ai trouvé ma pépite pour mes passages par Stansted!
