Self-Catering Accommodations in Takeley

Very close to Stansted airport, so great location. Near some good pubs.

I was unable to collect my hire car and thus accommodation pulled my out of a major hole. Extremely comfortable, warming, homely, clean. Everything you need for a night stay on a budget.

Good price great location. As long as you understand it’s a shared bathroom situation all is great. Very helpful and understanding hosts, even when we check in so late all was taken care of.

I had a truly wonderful experience. I felt like I was in the home of a close friend, almost like a family friend’s place. Paul welcomed me in such an elegant way, wearing his kind smile, hat, and suit. Everything he prepared was of high quality and thoughtfully arranged. Even before I arrived, he asked what kind of muffin I preferred—such a small but meaningful detail that really impressed me. And when I arrived, I saw even more care and attention in every corner of the home. The house was exceptionally clean. The bathroom was spotless and fully equipped with everything I might need, including shampoo and body lotion. The bed was extremely comfortable—I slept very well. I am quite sensitive to smells, but there was absolutely no unpleasant odor anywhere; everything felt fresh and perfectly clean. Paul was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. One moment I especially appreciated was when I had difficulty recognizing the house after arriving by taxi. Even though it wasn’t necessary, Paul stayed on the phone and kindly helped guide the driver and me until I felt comfortable. His support in that moment meant a lot. In some cultures, renting a private home can feel unfamiliar at first. But if you are open to stepping outside of those thoughts, renting Paul’s second home through Booking becomes a truly special and reassuring experience. I especially recommend this place to solo female travelers. Paul is a true gentleman and an exceptional host. I only wish there were a score higher than 10—I would gladly give it.

It is very spacious, exceptionally clean and has a great feel to it. It’s very well designed and had everything we needed. Matt was very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.

This place can't be faulted. Everything was excellent; Debbie was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay very much and will definitely be booking again.

I had a wonderful stay that was even better than expected. The proximity to the airport is unbeatable, but the real highlight was the convenience. I was able to do laundry and go grocery shopping right across the street. Being able to cook my own dinner and breakfast made it feel like home. Highly recommend!
