"Nice place and good value overall, would stay again"

8.0

Nice old home, good location near airport and beds were comfy and large with lots of towels! Had a desk to do some work and good coffee

Doors are thin and old wooden style, so can hear other people in other rooms Weird setup in the room that the shower is in the room but it didn't really make a difference

"A lovely refuge from a busy and tiring airport after a missed flight. Thank you."

Our quadruple room was lovely clean and cosy with continental breakfast in the fridge. We booked at the airport at 9pm and arrived at 9.45pm and all was ready for us.

"Exceptional"

9.0

A double bed room in a house with other guest rooms. Located close to stansted airport, which was why we chose it - very well furnished and equipped with coffee machine, mini-fridge, couch, toilet with bidet. Comfortable stay. Located just off the road, well signposted as would be otherwise easy to miss.

This was not an issue for us, but note that this place has somewhat steep stairs, so be careful if you have heavy luggages.

"Few hours stay before very early flight."

10.0

We received a friendly welcome from our hosts and found the room had everything in it we needed . There was a coffee maker, a toaster, a tea tray with biscuits, ordinary and oat milk and a corkscrew if needed. There was soap, shampoo and showergel in the dispensers. The bed was like a marshmellow and the pillows so comfortable. There was an additional heater just in case. All in all a lovely experience and a scenic, 9 minute drive to the airport.

"Comfortable, cozy and convenient with self checkin"

8.0

Self checkin was easy thanks to clear instructions with owners easy to reach as we had not stayed in a self checkin before. Cozy and convenient. Good breakfast at our disposable with all we needed.

We arrived late at night so had a bit of a problem finding the house in the dark. Thanks to the owners who were easy to reach by phone, we had more accurate instructions as the exact address wasn’t on booking.com

"Perfect for flights"

9.0

We landed at midnight, and after a few minutes, we were in our room getting ready for bed. All instructions on how to access the room were so clear.

The private bathroom was in the corridor.
