Desalis Hotel London Stansted, hotel in Thaxted

With free parking and an elegant interior, this hotel is located less than a 5-minute drive from Stansted Airport Terminal. Each room has a private bathroom and a TV and DVD.

if this was expensive id have given a 5 or 6, but its very cheap considering how close it is to the airport does it look tired? yes... is it very basic? yes... but do these things need addressing? no (as that will surely put the price up) its a one night place for the airport and nobody would be staying here for their holiday, so it does the job :-)

Stansted Coach House, hotel in Thaxted

Stansted Coach House offers accommodations in Elsenham, 1.7 miles from Stansted Mountfitchet Station and 8.6 miles from Audley End House.

Such a cute little place to stay if you have an early morning flight at Stansted! The place was spotless and even had some snacks/drinks you could buy. Just make sure you book a taxi to the airport in advance as Uber is not available out there and a lot of taxis were booked up.

    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...

    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.

    Stoney Lane is perfect for a short break as a couple. It’s a delightful tiny cottage full of beams and wonky floors, just a few steps from the centre of medieval Thaxted. There is lots to do in the area, and it’s location means that popping out in the locality is very straightforward. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Communication from the owner was excellent.

    The Manager Giovanna was very helpful and attentive. As parking was some distance from the hotel, I wasn't comfortable leaving my motorbike there, so she let me leave it to one side of the main courtyard. Accommodation clean & comfortable, food good, and staff very freindly. The town of Thaxted is great - fantastic church and WIndmill!

    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 room was lovely. Modern, clean, small but big enough. Bed comfy, only a double. Storage adequate for one night. Quiet. Parking behind hotel.reception on arrival good but not given any WiFi code. Bathroom had a couple of issues…broken blind pull and water drip marks on wall that should have been cleaned.

    Lovely staff. My cooked breakfast was OK. Good off-road car parking. Shower was great but it'd have been good to have had a second small towel and individual shampoo, soap etc. rather than tubes used by other guests. Decoration is good and the room was clean. Some nice prints around the hotel.

    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.
