Pet Friendly Hotels in Essex, United Kingdom

An ideal hotel for those travelling from/to Stansted. It's conveniently located within the hotel quarter so accessible by £4 bus from the terminal - just keep this in mind when calculating the price of a stay. Breakfast was free of charge and extensive, there was something available to suit everyone. The only recommendation I'd make is to have plug sockets next to the bed rather than just USBs.

Me and my daughter had a lovely stay. We slept very well, the bed were very comfortable and pillows and the room was lovely and clean and had everything in there we needed. We were both very happy.  Swimming pool was lovely just needs modernising and floors cleaned as were dirty. However, over all very pleased and love to stay again.

The room is quite big, very clean, all the supplies do not need to bring, the public area of the hotel is very British, there is a large grass at the entrance of the hotel is very beautiful, it is really good to take a walk in the morning, and the campus view of the University of Essex is also very beautiful on the side.

Fabulous location, if you need the airport. But, you have to bus/cab/drive into Southend/Rayleigh/wherever if not wanting the airport. 15min walk to various eateries, if you don't want to eat in the hotel, like Toby Carvery, Hungry Horse, African, fish and chips. Majority of staff seen were happy and chatty, nice to see. 5* breakfast, would definitely recommend as had lots of choice. Room was clean, included bed, desk, chair, armchair, safe, kettle, iron, toiletries, bath&shower.

Beautiful hotel. Stunning room Breakfast was delicious too

No air conditioning so very humi and hot in room. Toilet was hard to flush. Plugs too far to charge on a table or stand. You need to unplug things to get closer. Overall better than the travel lodge and Premier inn nearby.

The swimming pool appeared quite big, although we didn't get a chance to use it. Our room was fairly roomy for two people, but with our group of four, it felt a bit crowded. It's worth noting that if you have heavy luggage, you might want to avoid booking a room on the top floor (second floor), as there are no lifts available in this hotel. The bathroom provided only shampoo and body wash, so you might need to bring or purchase your own conditioner. The breakfast exceeded my expectations. Despite anticipating a traditional British offering, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety available, including English hot meals, a salad bar, a selection of cereals (there was Alpen!), milk alternatives (I particularly enjoyed the Oatly), and two coffee machines. Their breakfast was so impressive that I will definitely consider staying at this hotel again when I visit Colchester next time.

Parking free hotel environment is super good, the room is good, the sound is good, the sound is good, it is more convenient to go up to the center, go down to the university, there is a col park next to the university. Don't be too convenient. Breakfast is ordered. Don't be curious to order other fish. Egg rolls. It's really small or honest. Order English breakfast, dear

Stayed for a night for a departure the next day from Stansted airport. Very comfortable with full amenities. Good price and love the included free breakfast. X20 link HOURLY bud is so easy to catch to Stansted, at bus stop nearby. About 20-30mins journey. Plucked lots of sweet juicy blackberry along the way walking to the hotel.
