"Just super."

Emily
Mar 2025

"We recently stayed in the R3 Platinum Spa Six lodge for four nights and genuinely enjoyed ourselves. The setting is perfect for relaxing, with peaceful countryside walks along the canal and nearby spots like the nature discovery centre and Greenham Common add a nice touch. Our lodge was surprisingly spacious and had everything we needed - though a few more kitchen utensils wouldve been handy. We kicked off the year with a BBQ that turned out to be delicious and the hot tub was just what we needed after a busy day. The staff were lovely, especially the lady at reception and the maintenance guy, who were very helpful. Wed definitely recommend it for a quiet, relaxing escape!"

"We had a fantastic stay! The lodges were spotless, comfy and well-equipped. The peaceful setting with plenty of wildlife was just what we needed. Cheryl and her team made us feel so welcome - weve already booked to come back. Highly recommend this place!"

"Our Cherry Bird Country Park review: Really enjoyed our stay, the garden was perfect for the dogs and it was so peaceful here."

Raj
Feb 2025

"We had a lovely stay at this place, tucked away in such a peaceful, private spot. The owners were genuinely friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but it never felt intrusive. The hot tub was a real highlight after cycling all day! The only thing to keep in mind is that the cottage is right under Stansted's flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip at all. Wed definitely go back!"
