The Dairy♡

A great place to stay for a few nights between flights.

The room and the surroundings were very clean, and there was no noise from street traffic or almost any airplane takeoffs or landings. The WiFi and SMART TV worked perfectly. The airport pickup and drop‑off service was excellent.

− One of the rooms has no window facing outside, and there are no European-style power outlets. Also, one of the foldable sofa beds is too short for two adults to sleep comfortably.

Last minute booking due to a missed flight, staff could not have been more helpful as I was in a bit of a state to say the least!

Very poor accommodation and a potential fire risk.

Close proximity to Stansted airport as we were only staying one night as we had an early flight.

− The dairy sounded very much as if it was situated in a rural area but found it to be in the middle of an industrial site. When we entered the premises, we were met by an overwhelming smell of urine from the shared toilet/shower which I might add was not in the description as shared when I initially booked it. I went to make a cup of coffee in the kitchen area to find the cups provided were filthy and had not been washed up. There were no windows and it was an extremely hot evening which made it uncomfortable, a sub standard fan had been provided supplied by a cable on an extension lead but did not cool the place down. The lamp in the room again was supplied by an industrial extension lead which the cable had not been uncoiled and is a potential fire risk to anyone who did not uncoil the cable. The wiring in the shared bathroom had covers adrift on the junction boxes and had certainly not been installed by a qualified electrician and should not be allowed to be used by the general public as it is a risk. I paid £90 for the room, although not astronomical, I would expect a better standard of room. I would never use the dairy again and would advise others to find better alternatives due to the risk that it poses due to the wiring. Very poor.

Very bad experience, couldnt neither reach nor find the property, lost 130 pounds

− I dont recommend this place at all, esp if you arrive late and have no transport. I told the host clearly that I would arrive after midnight, yet she insisted that I should call their transfer service that would pick me up. Of course the transfer didnt work after midnight and I couldnt reach the property. I took a taxi that cost me 40 pounds, but we couldnt find the property, because on booking.com there is no address except Takeley and the link Ms Salmon sent me in booking.com didnt work. So I lost 130 pounds and I couldnt sleep that night. Not recommended!
