"Lodge was so beautiful. The aesthetics were amazing and the sofas were super comfy. Wish they had a fan and there werent so many bugs in there."

"I have just returned from a 2 night stay at the dumbarnie Lodge. Beautiful lodge, I can't recommend enough. Perfect location literally 5 min from Ingoldmells. We had plot 93 which had the hot tub built into the decking which made our stay"

"Brand new lodge like home from home very clean and the wi-fi works perfectly. Great to have a hot tub and balcony with fence round for the dogs, even they didn't want to go home."

"Although there is very little on site (unless you're there for golf) the site is extremely peaceful, with the club house serving great food. The site is part of a lovely golf course so if you're a golfer then great. But if not, it's still a lovely site with very welcoming staff. The lodge was really nice with free EV charging which was great. We had an ensuite bathroom with bath & shower with toilet plus and additional bathroom with toilet & shower. We didn't use the hot tub but it looked great. If I had to have one thing to pick up on, I'd say the dishwasher could do with a good clean cycle. Other than that, we really enjoyed our 3 night stay."

"We stayed here for a week in July with our two mini dachshunds and honestly, it was a lovely experience. The cottage itself is charming and cosy and the hot tub was definitely a highlight-especially during those scorching days, it cooled down just right. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. Watching the planes land near Stansted was surprisingly fun, too. Its in a peaceful village, perfect for relaxing walks. Overall, wed definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway with pets. Well be back!"

"We had such a lovely stay at this place! The setting is truly beautiful and very private, which we really appreciated. The owners were super friendly and always ready to help if needed, but they also respected our privacy completely. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling-it was just perfect. A small thing to keep in mind: the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much after a while, but it might be worth considering if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, wed definitely recommend it!"

"The lodge itself was lovely and very comfortable. Hot tub was fab. Could of done with more cooking utensils etc in the kitchen. More instructions needed to use the heating, etc. A folder with some info on take aways, supermarkets and places to visit would of been really helpful."

"We stayed at the lodge recently and honestly, it was a pretty nice spot. The location is great and the place was spotless and well-kept. The driving range, though, could definitely do with an upgrade - it felt a bit outdated. The main downside was the manager - quite patronising and dismissive when we had issues. WiFi was a nightmare; it barely worked and the offered dongle only lasted about an hour each day. Also, only two toilet rolls for eight of us over five days and when we asked for more because a kid was unwell, we got a rude response. Electricity went out after an hour, but it was fixed quickly. EV charger was out of action too. The staff, however, were lovely. Wouldnt mind returning, but some things could be better."

"We had a lovely stay! Sharon and Robert really made us feel at home, which was much appreciated. The place was spotless, comfy and secure for our dog Archie - he loved it! The location was perfect for exploring Thaxted and nearby villages, with lots of nice walks. We definitely left feeling refreshed, so its safe to say we had a great relaxing break. Would happily recommend!"
Rachel - Mar 2024
"The cottage was really charming and perfect for a peaceful escape. Just a heads up, planes fly over at night since it's close to Stanstead. Hot tub was a highlight!"
Sophie - Jan 2024
"We loved this cosy cottage - perfect for escaping the hustle but still nearby shops and cafes. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept everything super comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Cant wait to return for a longer stay!"
