Made to feel welcome. Clean comfortable and well equipped room. Lovely location. Ideal for a short break or getting to Stansted airport.
Outside space and bar a good bonus. Plenty of free parking. All good and would recommend. I will return if I am on this area again.

The property is absolutely charming. Very private and quiet. The facilities are great and the cottage was spotless. The fridge was full of food and beverages. I couldn’t fault anything.

After a long flight I needed accommodation close by the airport and was fortunate to find the stables with airport transfers to and from the airport at minimal fees tbf they didn’t charge me at 5 in the morning. Also left some sentimental boose earbuds in the room which they immediately got staff to clean room and kindly posted them back to me! Rare in this day in age 🙏

Everything was perfect, but our favourite bit was the outdoor seating area in the sun trap to sit back and admire the beautiful garden, breakfast was also lovely cooked with quality local ingredients.
Our daughter is autistic and usually struggles to adjust to new surroundings but having Netflix in the room enabled her to watch the things she likes and even she called it her new home.
Lovely lady on reception. All staff helpful and made me very welcome. Nothing too much trouble. Lovely old building and was great having a bath and shower. Will look to return to explore villages which looked lovely as only booked for airport stay night before a flight at Stansted on this occasion.

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 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.
Lovely hotel in the most charming location in the village of Thaxted , Essex . The hotel has a cosy atmosphere and the staff are friendly and welcoming. My room was comfortable and well decorated , just the right size for my needs as I had a early flight the following morning . By the way that's another bonus it's only 20 mins away from the airport.
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.
Amazing hotel and pub, the staff are so friendly. Allowed me to check in early as my flight arrived in early hours of the morning. The food in the pub was amazing I had the Sunday roast, great value for money too ! Lovely quiet area/town. The room was clean, great space, comfortable bed. Whole place was very well kept
Convenient for early start in Thaxted next day. Good on site parking. Easy access to accommodation (just a few steps) and onsite pub. Comfortable bed. Excellent tray breakfast delivered to outside room at time we requested. Friendly helpful staff. Responsive to messages.
Lovely place.The place is exceptionally clean. The view is excellent. Katharine and Ben are very helpful. We really appreciate that they are always willing to accommodate our needs. Will definitely choose to stay here again once we are back to Thaxted.
