Close to the airport however not close to anything else if you don’t have a car.
Budget friendly, clean, homely guest house about 10 minutes drive from London Stansted Airport (3.6 miles). Fast, easy and convenient SELF CHECK-IN and SELF CHECK-OUT.

The host was the sweetest lady and made sure everything was comfortable for us. I felt extremely safe with the coded door lock and individual room keys. The shared kitchen and back patio are where we spent most of our time. Everything was clean and well cared for. We can’t recommend this place enough!!
Set in Takeley and with Hatfield Forest reachable within 3.1 mi, Old Thatch Bambers Green offers express check-in and check-out, allergy-free rooms, free bikes, free WiFi and a garden.

Perfect location for Stansted airport
Very quiet, nice place to go for a peaceful walk
Lovely lady on reception. All staff helpful and made me very welcome. Nothing too much trouble. Lovely old building and was great having a bath and shower. Will look to return to explore villages which looked lovely as only booked for airport stay night before a flight at Stansted on this occasion.

We were not interested in Thaxted.
We were not interested in Thaxted. The reason for our trip was ro visit Duxford IWM. We went to see the museum on the Friday and the Flying Finale on the Saturday.
From the booking.com information Thaxted appeared to be much closer to Duxford that the actuality. We only used the hoted for evening dinner, sleep and breakfast.

The food in the hotel was not good, my lunch had hair in it, there was food all over the floor that hadn’t been cleaned from breakfast, my breakfast was greasy & some of it was cold & we wait 35 minutes for it to arrive.
The staff were very friendly but the bar service was slow.
They wanted to charge me an extra £10 for our dog so I pointed out all the issues & they removed the charge

Thaxted is a wonderful place full of history and lovely people. Go to see Webbs mill, the Guildhall and of course the Parish Church ( which in the past has had and still has a social conscience - when Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman ? ). Walk around Thaxted and take in the timber framed buildings - you are looking at 14th and 15th Century and later history. Look at those Alms Houses and think of all those people that were able to live there, where otherwise they may not have had a home. You might even get a chance to see the Morris Men - and Women. Gustav Holst was Choir Master at the Church - he wrote the Planet Suite whilst in Thaxted !

Beautiful quaint medieval Town.
Beautiful quaint medieval Town. The Church is absolutely beautiful and the local residents so friendly! Utterly refreshing stay in such a happy Town.
There were lots going on locally during this Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend. The Lighting of the Beacon was spectacular! Highly recommend!
We ate at the Swan and Parishes both were very good and value for money! I would say ideally a car would be good but lovely walks all around!

Great location, pretty village.
Great location, pretty village.
Poor cleanliness in the room and bar areas. In need of an upgrade especially outside to the rear of the building. The bathroom was of a poor standard and had not been cleaned properly and the duty manager was called to view the state of the bathroom, the tea cups had not been washed properly, the glass top in the bathroom had previous guests toothpaste marks, the glass doors of the shower was covered in the previous guests shower gel, the plug in the shower had not been cleaned for some time, it was black, mouldy and had lots of hairs in it. Based on this experience I would not stay again in this property, or stay in other Greene King Hotels.
the hotel has been great for us in near distance to standsted airport, taking our flight back home in the next morning. the room had everything we needed for the night. the people were very nice. we liked the possibility to have a beer in the cozy and friendly pub at the hotel, would ve been possible to have a diner, too. the menu listed good meals.
Stony Lane is a beautiful old house in the heart of Thaxted. The lane itself is a quiet, traffic-free backwater so it is a perfect place to stay for a visit to Thaxted, or in our case for a wedding in the church, which is at the end of the lane. The house is well equiped, clean, and very comfortable with plenty of space for a short stay.
Room was comfortable, with a good bathroom/ shower room. We had an evening meal in the pub, which was good quality and with generous portions. Breakfast was also good, freshly cooked full English and a buffet of other items. Thaxted itself is a charming place, and Saffron Walden up the road is well worth a visit.
What a lovely quaint pub and hotel. The room is perfect for the overnight stay that we needed. We had a couple of drinks in the pub which is a beautiful 1600s old English pub and to top it off the owners could not have been more accommodating. We will definitely be back with the family for something to eat.
In a beautiful, historic setting, this period property is charming , full of character yet has lots of home comforts. Thaxted is a perfect base for a holiday, so pretty and lots of lovely places to visit and some fantastic pubs and restaurants all within walking distance.
Lovely place.The place is exceptionally clean. The view is excellent. Katharine and Ben are very helpful. We really appreciate that they are always willing to accommodate our needs. Will definitely choose to stay here again once we are back to Thaxted.
The staff were very friendly, the room was good and the location great, I would definitely recommend the hotel for either work or pleasure. The evening food was good and I will be eating there on future visits starting January 2024.
Friendly attentive staff and breakfast was adapted to personal choices - Thank You! Excellent location for Thaxted and Saffron Walden and very peaceful surroundings.
