The staff were absolutely great, felt welcoming and were very helpful. I arrived at about midday and they let me check in early which was so appreciated as I had a wedding to go to for 1:30pm so it allowed me to get ready in the room.
This 16th-century inn in the center of Braintree is 25 minutes from Stansted Airport. It offers free Wi-Fi, a free private parking lot and 2 vibrant bars with log fires.

Its only ground and first floor so easy to get up to rooms even if the lift was in use.
Staff were all so helpful with directions, bus details, ordering taxis. They couldn't do enough for us and we noticed they were as good to all the visitors, and callers on the phone.

Never having visited Braintree before, I was pleasantly surprised to find it interesting to walk round, spacious yet with shopping alleys to wander down, and with friendly service in pubs and shops. The only downside was what appeared to be a distinct shortage of places besides The White Hart to go for an evening meal.

A pleasant, pedestrian friendly town centre offering plenty of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. It has a fine Town Hall, library and museum telling of Braintree's past. A little way out of town is the Freeport Shopping Village and the town is conveniently placed to visit the neighbouring towns of Colchester and Chelmsford.

Delicious cooked breakfast - very good value.
Rooms accessed via stairs - no lift - difficult for guests with mobility problems.
We are booking another stay end of November to visit the Christmas Market & enjoy the facilities again.

Braintree town has a good selection of cafe’s and pubs but is sadly lacking in retail outlets and late night entertainment.
It’s a good central position for exploring the area but you’ll definitely need a car because the local bus service isn’t very regular,

I actually come from Braintree so I know it well.
I actually come from Braintree so I know it well. Theres not many good shops in the town centre anymore but theres a retail area called the Braintree Village which is worth a visit and they have lots of shops there.
There is a wonderful eatery place called Toast in the town centre which I can recommend though. They make yummy toasted sandwiches and fancy stuff.
My family and I had a great experience at the Holiday Inn Express in Braintree. To begin with, the staff at the front desk and in the breakfast area was exceptional: very professional, kind and helpful. The rooms were very modern and clean. And the breakfast was excellent with quite a variety of breakfast foods and beverages. Great way to start our day! I would highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express to anyone visiting the Braintree area.
All of the staff were absolutely fantastic, Breakfast was amazing! The bed was comfy, we were a stones throw away from where we needed to be. We wanted just a cheap place to sleep while we visited family, and this hotel far surpassed our (pretty experienced) expectations of cheap lodgings! Also best poached egg I've every had!
The hotel is in a very nice and chilled location set in the centre of a small village. With free parking and brilliant facilities, the overnight stay for a local wedding was brilliant. I cannot fault the hotel at all and would not want to
The room was lovely. The staff were exceptional, very attentive, polite and personable. We stayed because the hotel had been recommended by the Wedding venue, it was closest to where we needed to be and its a lovely little village.
Room and service were good and great value for money. A central location and cheaper than the Premier Inn and Holiday Inn which are on the outskirts of Braintree. The pub itself was good with plenty of dining space and car parking.
