We're a family friendly hotel located in Hatfield Heath, Hertfordshire, not far from Essex, close to Stansted airport and Central London.
The hotel is set in 110 acres of woodland and parkland, so there is lots of space for your children to run around. We have lots and lots of fun activities on site for the whole family to take part in and if you want some peace and quiet there is plenty to keep the kids occupied while you relax.
For those cold and rainy winters, you may not want to go outside, so fear not, as indoors there's still plenty to do at this family friendly hotel as we have:
a games room with a full size snooker table
a 10 metre indoor heated pool

a Wii (limited availability)
