Bed and Breakfast at Stansted? Live like a Lord instead of a Knave.
Having experienced a proliferation of budget airlines over the past two decades, all offering affordable and indeed, enticing fares to many of the most popular business and holiday destinations across Europe; the airports hosting these carriers have witnessed a corresponding and often dramatic increase in passenger numbers throughout their respective termini. In consequence, an abundance of bed and breakfast businesses have appeared to service the needs of the many transitory visitors to these airports’ environs, occasionally offering up some exceptional accommodation opportunities to those that are willing to take a little effort to seek them out.
Taking bed and breakfast accommodation at Stansted as an example, a cursory search will reveal a great wealth of Stansted bed and breakfasts as well as many more in the surrounding towns, villages and hamlets. A closer inspection will reveal that a number of these are purpose built hotel complexes, others are traditional family guest houses and a very few, can be categorised as the out-of-the-ordinary type of accommodation previously mentioned; one of the best examples of just such a bed and breakfast is the White House at Takeley.
Just 1 ½ miles away from Stansted Airport the White House is an historic 15th century, Grade II listed Manor House situated in a rural idyll on the edge of Takeley village; fitted and furnished to a comfortable, modern standard, the Manor building nonetheless retains much of its period features and styling. Relaxing within the cosy, exposed beam interiors, guests can enjoy the benefits of wireless internet connectivity, flat screen colour TV/DVD’s, King sized beds and much more. Parking space is ample and within the 1 acre grounds of this superior Stansted bed and breakfast, is a well maintained garden within which guests are more than welcome to enjoy the quietude of the rural locale.
Equally as important as the standard of any accommodation’s decor is the quality of a guest’s experience during their stay and here once again, the White House comprehensively differentiates itself from run-of-the-mill bed and breakfasts by the quality of the care and service extended by the establishment’s proprietors; Mike and Linda.
Offering a warm and genuine welcome to all arrivals, nothing seems too much trouble to make guests feel relaxed and at home; this even extends to the offer of transport to the couple’s sister establishment, the Lion and Lamb, just two minutes away by car; here one can enjoy an excellent range of snacks, meals and fine ales in the surroundings of a traditional English pub. Breakfasts are, of course, taken in the White House itself, where a convenient buffet is available for guests with early departures: Guests lucky enough to be scheduled on later departures can enjoy a sumptuous, piping hot, full English breakfast made from locally sourced produce.
It is often said that ‘quality shines through’ and in the case of the White House, it can be said that quality also engenders recognition. Having earned a prestigious A.A. Four Star ‘Highly Commended’ rating, a Four Star rating and ‘Silver Award’ from Enjoy England, a listing from Les Routiers and from the Condé Nast Johansen's Small Hotels and Country Houses organisation, the White House can certainly attest to being pier recognised.
What the example of the White House Manor also attests to though, is the original assertion that with a just little bit of effort, it is possible to secure a superior bed and breakfast at Stansted for much the same price as one can stay at an ordinary, run-of-the-mill bed and breakfast. This being established, the clear choice for all Stansted bed and breakfast seekers is; given the clear choice, why not live like a Lord of the Manor, instead of as a Knave?
