Great Hallingbury Manor
Great Hallingbury Manor is this guide’s character option: a four-star, Tudor-style manor house in the Essex countryside, three miles from Stansted Airport, where the night before a flight comes with grounds, a restaurant and a fireplace rather than a terminal view. The 72 rooms and lodges make it the rare airport-adjacent stay that feels like a destination.
Guest Rooms
The 72 rooms and lodges are stylishly decorated, with 43-inch flat-screen TVs, work desks, free Wi-Fi, coffee and tea-making facilities and modern bathrooms. Lodge rooms in the grounds add privacy and their own entrances.

- Coffee and tea-making facilities
- Desk
- 43-inch flat-screen TV

Breakfast and Dining
The manor’s restaurant serves breakfast and dinner in a setting no other Stansted hotel can match; the bar and lounges carry the evening.
