Our view

Who it suits: Travellers who want a top-quality hotel and a connection by train, bus or the M12.
Why we would choose it: It is the best-regarded hotel within about 25 minutes, in a town with a train station and a free bus link to the airport.
The compromise: It is not close. Allow 20 to 25 minutes by road, and confirm the bus timetable before relying on it for an early flight.
Worth paying more?: For a flight from mid-morning, yes if you want a comfortable hotel. For a flight before 07:00, stay nearer.
