An imminent flight out of Stansted means getting up too early, really. So I am looking at taking us there the night before, staying in a decent and going to the airport in the morning.

Can anyone suggest somewhere pleasant close by that will serve a good dinner and be comfortable? I don't have a budget in mind.

TIA

I can't help with a hotel suggestion, but I can recommend not staying at the Radisson at the airport. I stayed there last year and it was grotty.

Take your pick!

If it's just the convenience then there's a Premier Inn just across the road. Travelodge too. Novotel as welll. There's also a Premier Inn at Braintree on the A120 - bit cheaper but a 20 min drive or so.

Hampton by Hilton is very nice - walk over to the terminal from there. But is pricey.

The Green Man in Takeley's rather nice too. https://www.thegreenmanboutiquehotel.com

I wouldn’t describe the Hampton by Hilton as “very nice. It’s convenient and that’s about all it has going for it.

That's a shame, we used it loads in the past as it was so handy (5 minute walk to the terminal) and wasn't too expensive if you got their parking deal too. We never got breakfast there (always had porridge at Leon!) so can't comment on that.

Stayed there before and yes convenient. Looking for something a bit better.

Super thanks, if they have availability that may be the solution.
