About this hotel
Cherry Tree - Stambridge runs as a proper local pub first and guest accommodation second, which shows in the real ale selection and the seafood restaurant rather than a generic hotel menu. The beer garden is a genuine draw on a mild evening, and Stambridge Mills is three minutes away on foot for a short walk before settling in. Rooms are described as casual with private bathrooms rather than upscale, free Wi-Fi and free parking cover the basics, and the property is kid-friendly, accessible and smoke-free throughout for a straightforward overnight stay away from the terminal itself. It suits travellers who value a genuine local atmosphere over a chain hotel's uniformity, and the private bathrooms mean the casual style does not come at the cost of basic comfort.
- Real ale pub
- Seafood restaurant
- Beer garden
- Free parking
Our take
This suits travellers who want a proper pub atmosphere and a seafood dinner over a standard hotel restaurant, and free parking makes it a practical choice for anyone driving in. It is less suited to a traveller wanting hotel-standard polish or a business centre, but for a casual overnight stay with character it stands out on this list.
- Book a table for the seafood restaurant ahead if arriving on a weekend evening, the pub gets busy with locals.
- Confirm room amenities directly given the casual guestroom style differs from a standard hotel room.
- Enjoy the beer garden before check-in closes if arriving with time to spare.

Why guests love itI like the Cherry Tree in Stambridge for families who would rather spend the night before a London Southend flight at a proper pub than in a standard hotel. It is a real ale pub with a seafood restaurant and a beer garden, a relaxed place for an early dinner with children. The guestrooms are casual, with private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi, and parking is free. Stambridge Mills is a three-minute walk away, and the 8.6 score is reassuring.
