Top The Sailings Hotel Reviews

Down Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room and bathroom. Lots of exciting improvements ongoing within the hotel and grounds. Pretty faultless !"

Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay!!! It would be nicer to check out one hour later. Our room was clean and it had the necessary amenities. The breakfast was free and very nice and parking was free too. The only issue was outside noise from the busy road due to petrol station, M&S and Tobi Carvery. Although, I really recommend it specially for couples."

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent for our visit to Duxford. Arrived by train, 1 minute walk to hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Night before our visit to IWM used kiosk in lobby to order taxi for our ride to airfield and back. Not a lot of dining choices if you don’t have a car, but no problem for us. Breakfast buffet is very well prepared with various choices for hot or continental. Had dinner here too and food was also very good. Highly recommend if you need to stay in this area."

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good location for an overnight stay before a flight"

Days Inn by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"It was fine and easy to get to airport"

Stansted Airport Lodge

8/10 Good

"I think this place has potential. It did it's job for me, somewhere to stay for a night close to Stansted Airport on a bus route that runs late I to the night as I was on a late arriving flight. Price is very reasonable to alternative accommodation, the accommodation is clean, it just needs some minor cosmetic repairs doing in the room. Perhaps an automated email could be sent to people staying the night reminding them of the check in process and how to find the accommodation, as the reception desk is not staffed."

Manor of Groves Hotel, Golf & Health Club

8/10 Good

"The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Room was a great size. Restaurant was freezing. They did turn down/off the aircon but it was still very cold with people sat in coats!"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, helpful staff, usual English breakfast selection, you have to pay extra for parking."

The Mill Hotel

8/10 Good

"A very well located Hotel. We paid extra for a room with a view, unfortunately this was on the 4th. floor, and for 80 year olds' 55 stairs and no lift was to say the least........testing."
