Introduction: The Travelodge Stansted Bishops Stortford
originally opened in 2003 (as the Best Western Stansted Manor) and is less than
3 Miles from the passenger terminal at London Stansted International airport.
Set well back from the road and on the outskirts of Birchanger, a small village
of some 1,000 residents. Nearest Town is Bishops Stortford at 1.5 miles where
you will find the Anchor Street leisure Complex with bowling alley, cinema, bar
and health club. Birchanger Green Services is close by (less than 1/5th mile)
where you'll find a few shops and fast food outlets. The hotel is sited on 8
acres of Metropolitan greenbelt land and is out of the airport Flight path. The
nearby M11 motorway will take you to the airport to the north (around 10 minutes
drive) or to North East London to the south. However it links with the M25
London orbital motorway meaning you have good links to all the London airports.
Local places of interest include Waytemore Castle and Gardens (1.5 miles) (
Norman stone motte and bailey fortress), Bishops Stortford History Museum (1.8
miles), House on the Hill Toy Musuem (1.9 miles), Mountfitchet Castle (1.9
miles) (accurate reconstruction of the 1066 castle and settlement).
