The White House

Nothing!

On arrival at the Whitehouse in Takely, we thought we'd got the wrong place! It looked derelict!! From the outside it looked unkempt in fact dilapidated! We let ourselves into the property via a key safe. The carpet on the stairs was worn badly quite threadbare. The room had a damp fusty smell, the bedding felt damp, the shower head on the ceiling looked as if it would fall off at any time and the shower tray was stained badly! We decided we couldn't stay there definitely not to sleep! We were flying from Stansted early in the morning and only needed a bed for a few hours, but couldn't face it! We checked in at the Novotel which is even closer to the airport, this was only £20 more than we paid for a night at the "award winning " Whitehouse! If ever we fly from Stansted again, we will book the Novotel. We paid £89 for the Whitehouse which is not expensive for a hotel room normally, but the worst £89 we have ever spent!! The property is badly in need of a refurbishment, even the grounds! We wouldn't even want to leave our car there!. Needless to say, we won't be staying there ever again or recommending it to anyone! Disappointed is an understatement! What worries me, is that on booking.com, most of the reviews are positive? That's why I booked it. We aren't fussy people with high standards and not normally critical. If there had been any staff present, we would have complained and asked for a refund!!!

Les lits etaient confortables Petit dejeuner très correcte dans le frigo

Nous avons choisi cet hebergement par rapport a la note et aux avis mais nous n avons eu Personne pour nous accueillir La Maison est assez vetuste avec des Fenêtres non isolantes Le Linge de toilette était vieux Notre chambre avait 2 salles d'eau ! La douche très petite et de la moisissure au plafond...

Super Lage in der Nähe des Flughafens. Sehr originelles Bad mit freistehender Badewanne. Betten sehr bequem, wir haben gut geschlafen, Kaffeemaschine und Tabs im Zimmer und auch Wasserflasche vorhanden

Spinnweben und Weberknecht an der Decke, Fensterbänke und Fenster sehr schmutzig, auch mit dicken Spinnweben und Schmutz

The breakfast was superb. Lovely continental assortment of fruit, yoghurt, breads and pastries, cereals etc... Nothing was too much trouble for our lovely Portuguese maid. Bathroom and bedroom ...a joy ! Would stay again if visiting the area xx well done White house .

Nothing really, very pleased with our stay xx
