It was a beautiful property. Clean and had little bits and bobs ( toothbrush, toothpaste, shower wash etc) nice little touch. Somewhere to sit outside ( blankets if needed ). The host was very friendly and helpful. Close to Stanstead Airport.
It cost us £18 for a taxi to the airport from the accommodation. Not sure if this was due to leaving at 5am but thought it was very expensive for the very short journey.

Clean, quiet, very welcoming staff, and the yard. The eggs in the breakfast from hens inside the property Also they give me free ride to the small city Bishop’s Stortford and to the airport
No restaurant but they serve breakfast and nice pizza and sandwiches you can also order food from restaurants.

Very nice Essex thatched property with annexes. We occupied all three as we had a local family gathering to attend. The units are various sizes, we had the largest with the biggest very comfortable bed and an additional sofa. Neat and tidy bathroom with nice towels and toiletries inc toothbrush and toothpaste. Nice covered patio area for sitting outside which we used as a gathering place. Tea and coffee provided in the room but bring your own breakfast or alternatively eat at the nearby golf course. Parking for people departing from Stansted airport. We would definitely stay here again.
Nothing to not like

closest to the airport,the cosy warm feel and general comfy touches . we arrived in a very bad storm and the warmth was so nice. only a short drive to the airport. plenty of parking.anice welcome. water in the fridge and plenty of tea and coffee etc . it was a lovely quiet location but unfortunately for us the storm was in full swing so didn't get to enjoy the peace and quiet that there would normally be. the microwave was a great touch, and also the plates and cutlery. same we had to leave at 3am for flight. we would love to return. Stansted has the jet 2 early bird check in that we took advantage of. drive to mid stay carpark and park catch the free bus to terminal and back on bus to get the car and as long as you're out within the hour it's all free.
nothing really , thank you.

Location was stunning . The Xmas lights outside were amazing .The seating area we shared , enclosed patio was beautiful . Unfortunately we still had storm Darea going on so couldn’t make us of it , but would love to stay again in summer.
Small thing, but as we arrived late and tired we didn’t notice the small fridge in wardrobe until the morning . The water bottles you left us were appreciated. I bought almond milk with me and left it outside in the cold . So maybe a note somewhere to mention it. However saying this , I’m probably the only person not ever not see it ! Plus no doubt it tells you in the information email , which I don’t pay close attention to .

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
The only problem I had was with sleeping but mainly because I need pitch black to do so and with it being summer time I did become restless with the sunlight coming through, however it did mean that I was up well in time for my flight.

We treated ourselves to the studio apartment the night before our flight. It was spacious, spotless and extremely comfortable. Host Steve was very welcoming and recommended local eating places, but the studio also contains a small table, plates, knives and forks in the event you want a takeaway. Steve also offers parking and a transfer service to the airport but unfortunately we'd already booked through Ryanair. Would definitely recommend and use again next time we fly.

Location is great! The accommodations at Old Thatch are very different; one room is enormous and absolutely adorable, beautifully furnished, very cosy. The other is far smaller, very sparsely furnished, really quite cramped, no socket by the bed, and (in August) it's uncomfortably hot. Be careful to book the former room.
An airport shuttle needs to leave on time. If a guest says "I MUST arrive at Stansted at X o'clock sharp" and the driver agrees to be ready to leave at X-15, that's what needs to happen. The driver shouldn't be wandering out at X-5, with neither apology nor car keys nor functioning card machine, then (again without apology nor any sense of urgency) *leaving at* X o'clock and delivering the guest to the airport late enough for panic. I mean, come on.

Everything! Absolutely nothing to fault and we will be staying here every time we fly going forward. Steve is a lovely guy , very friendly and even helped us with a lift to the airport. The property is lovely and has a few local pubs a short drive away. The property has large comfortable beds and tea/coffee station. Massive thumbs up😃

The location was good as we were attending a wedding just 20 minutes away.
The floor was a little dusty and there were no tissues in the room and no tea towel to dry mugs or spoons after making a drink. It was very noisy when people came back from nights out as there’s a gravel drive and our room was directly next to it. The lights from the cars and people walking past our window talking made it difficult to sleep.
