    Been there before; was also fine this time. A good, comfortable, clean hotel, even if a few things are a bit dated. It's popular with locals, which is great for the hotel, but sometimes hotel guests seem to be pushed out a bit. Staff are great.

    Very friendly pub, great location for Stansted. Food was pleasant and reasonable value. Would go back. Thaxted is a nice village for a stroll round to kill a bit of time.
