Location, it was clean. Food on site and small bar - rooms as expected for the price, more spacious actually. Staff reacted really well to an issue I had

The staff here is incredibly friendly and attentive! The location is excellent, and they provide an affordable airport shuttle service. The rooms are spacious and impeccably clean – I could still smell the fresh bleach when I walked in! I had one of the best sleeps I've had in a motel/hotel in a long time. Highly recommend for both short and long stays.
Great Sampford B&B Sorrells farm is situated down a remote quiet country lane just outside of Great Sampford.

Great rural location - less than an hour from Cambridge and just over an hour to the coast. Great stay, comfortable and clean. Ready to make breakfast items were perfect- plenty of choice of cereals and bread/ croissants with fresh milk and orange juice each day.
The Red Lion pub in Great Sampford is definitely worth a visit- the food was delicious.
Also the nice walk down the road and round the byway by the fields was a great evening stroll. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Set in Takeley and with Hatfield Forest reachable within 5 km, Old Thatch Bambers Green offers express check-in and check-out, allergy-free rooms, free bikes, free WiFi and a garden.

I booked it for the location to be near the airport. It was extremely close and convenient for this. Slept well and was made a freshly toasted (tasty) sandwich on arrival which meant I could relax for the evening without worrying where I was going to eat. Very comfortable, spacious room with good facilities. I will definitely be using this place again when flying from Stansted
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.
Reception staff were very welcoming, I booked for dinner which was very good value pub food, waitress staff were very friendly and attentive. My room was a single bed room, which I thought might be a bit uncomfortable but if was very comfortable and modern too, I was surprised how well my room was furnished and very clean too, I would of enjoyed staying a few nights at this hotel given the choice,
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.
The cottage is incredibly charming, and has everything you could need for a stay in Thaxted. The bed is large and comfortable, the kitchenette surprisingly spacious and well appointed and the lounge area very comfortable. The location, right opposite the church, is the perfect place to stay.
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.
Convenient for early start in Thaxted next day. Good on site parking. Easy access to accommodation (just a few steps) and onsite pub. Comfortable bed. Excellent tray breakfast delivered to outside room at time we requested. Friendly helpful staff. Responsive to messages.
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.
We do like this hotel and keep returning. Location is exceptional and cannot find anything really to fault. Nice hotel rooms and very friendly staff. Very good breakfast and evening meal menu.
Friendly attentive staff and breakfast was adapted to personal choices - Thank You! Excellent location for Thaxted and Saffron Walden and very peaceful surroundings.
