The kings arms was fine. It’s a busy pub in an old building. The live music is clearly audible in the rooms above, but having said that the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The carpet is a little grubby, but all in all I can recommend.

Convenient location
This is a nice hotel in a very convenient location. The room was generously appointed and very comfortable. Staff very friendly. However, it just feels a little tired and needing of a little more attention to detail. Not bad for the price I guess, but not great.

Ok for our 1 night stay before stansted flights
Ideal location for Stansted Airport, We had a shambles of a checking in, as they could not find our room key, the room could be cleaner as well and stocked with Loo roll and hand wash, the room was nice and comfortable for our 1 night stay, free onsite parking with other food options in close walking distance

Perfect Pub stay. Walking distance to train with only one stop to airport. Stansted is lovely historic town. Bed was very comfortable and it was quiet at night. Staff were lovely. My only critique is cereal was offered in the room, but not enough milk packets to enjoy it. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice amenities and comfy bed with nice linens. Pub and dining room are downstairs so noise does travel as rooms are over the pub. Staff very friendly. Good food in the downstairs restaurant. Right in town and sidewalks for getting out and about in the small village.

Great hotel 1stop on train from airport
What a great hotel, very nice friendly staff who couldn’t of been more helpful, fantastic food we stayed on Sunday so had the roast dinner which was amazing.
Right next door to train station so 7 mins to Standsted airport far cheaper than a taxi.
Only downside was it was quite hot in the room but nothing a fan would have not sorted.
Will definitely stay again when flying from Stansted.

A very pleasant surprise! Very nice and clean room above the great pub. Can't thank the staff enough. Besides being very helpful (booking taxi and arranging a table at the pub) they were also very kind and helped make our travel nightmare much better. Would be very happy to stay again, particularly when we could enjoy a few more pints!

Charming
Charming place with four nice rooms over a pub. Friendly staff and good food in the pub. Note no elevator/lift. No real climate control though had a fan and some other gadget, and the windows do open. Easy one stop on the Stansted Expess then you’re right there. The train in the AM did not stop frequently

Cozy and fantastic stay! The pictures don't give enough justice!
Being used to Hiltons, Hyatts and/or other chain hotels for work conferences , it was so refreshing to stay in a cozy English Inn.
The food was great.
Fantastic atmosphere in the tavern. Everyone super friendly.
We stayed in room 2 (with batyhtub) on the road side, and while one of us is a wicked light sleeper normally. We found the noise of the town below soothing and lulled us both to sleep.
Bed was super comfy, good bathroom, coffee, tea, milk and snacks in the room.
Small grocery just down the road as well as the train station. Originally we planned to stay 3 nights, but ended up with 5.
Will definitely stay again!

I lucked into this small local hotel, which is part of a local public house. It's around the corner from the Stansted Mountfitchet train station, less than 5 minutes of walking. It was cheaper and faster to take the Tube and train than to catch a taxi or shuttle bus.
I arrived late, after their kitchen was closed, but they helped me find a nearby restaurant with takeout, then set me up with cutlery and a pint. The room was cozy and QUIET. It was stocked with breakfast cereal, a pint of milk, coffee, tea, and biscuits.
In the morning, there was a public trail to a nature reserve for walking dogs and jogging before I got back on the train for the Stansted Airport (1 stop away).
Great spot, highly recommended.
