Stansted Hotel Reviews

    Bonningtons
    Expedia Verified Review…
    5/5
    The owner was very friendly and only too willing to help. Once all was explained he left us with local information which led to a great meal in a pub across the road. The overnight stay was very comfortable with everything you could need available. Very clean and tidy, I find it difficult to fault this stay. Well done, keep this up and next time I am in the south of England I will most definitely stay again.…
