"Hotel was great for our purpose - I think the charge for the shuttle is expensive as a taxi costs the same or could be cheaper if you were four of you."

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.

The airport itself is fine. But the parking and taxi idiots all over the place make it stressful.
