Excellent location and Service

The hotel location and Hotel staff service was excellent, very helpful and friendly, most important it is located in place handy for Motorway M11 to London,Stansted Airport, or and Epping forest The only think that need improving is the road sign it is not visible from the main road other wise it is excellent place to stay for business, and site seeing

Excellent communication

Excellent communication from the owner. Room was large, peaceful nights sleep in a soft bed. Little tired- its not plush, more functional but did the job for me, staying over to catch tube into London as Epping is on the Central line. Helpful book in room with local knowledge to call taxi to station, was able to collect my car on return. I would definitely use again to travel into London without hassle.
