5/5 - Excellent
If you are in Stansted with a car and have a few hours to kill then I recommend the Freeport Retail Village in Braintree which is a 15min drive away. It is a very underrated outlet centre.






Everything was wonderful thank you. Staff very friendly and helpful. 🙂

Very clean and very comfortable, with very good air conditioning - very welcome on the hottest day of the year! My only criticism is the booking process guidelines are not clear and the online system needs improvement. It was not made clear that we would not receive the email with access instructions ...

Travel back more than 900 years in time when you step into a replica of a medieval castle and its dwellings.
You can spend an afternoon browsing the exhibits at House on the Hill Toy Museum in Stansted. Visit the spas and cosy cafes in this relaxing area.
Enjoy an outing to Whoosh Explore during your stay in Stansted. Visit the spas and lively bars in this walkable area.

Busy but efficient
Perfect stay
Car parking much better than other London airports
The airport itself is fine. But the parking and taxi idiots all over the place make it stressful.
Not a lot to do
