"We had a fantastic stay! The house was really well kitted out and super cosy, which was perfect for a rainy December day. The bath was a treat and the shower was great too. Being near the flight path didnt bother us at all-dont let it put you off. Perfect spot for dogs that arent fans of fireworks, surrounded by nature. Thanks a lot, wed come back!"

Truly a great spot for us and the pups!"

Rob and Sharon have done a lovely job transforming this historic place with such care and they made us feel really welcome-shoutout to Bonnie too! The location is perfect for exploring Essex, especially if you enjoy wandering around charming villages like Thaxted. Its a peaceful spot and wed definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfy, relaxing break. Well be back!"
Emma - May 2025
"We had a fantastic stay in this lovely place! The setting is truly peaceful and private, yet the owners are super friendly and available if you need anything. The hot tub was a real highlight after cycling all day - so relaxing! One thing to keep in mind, the cottage is right under the flight path at Stansted, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. We got used to it quickly, though and it didnt ruin our trip. Overall, a great find with a cozy vibe!"
James - May 2025
"We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage tucked away on a working farm, yet it feels super private. Robert and Sharon are so welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. The place is really spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to get out of! The garden is perfect for dog walks, fully enclosed and furnished nicely. We also enjoyed exploring the nearby walks and trying out some good local restaurants like The Star and The Maypole. Honestly, wed definitely recommend it!"

Loved the fact that there are plenty of dog walks right outside the door - our pups had a blast. The host was lovely, so friendly and communication was spot on. Meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was a real treat. Well definitely return, great value for money! Highly recommend."
Emma Carter - May 2025
"We had a lovely stay at this charming spot tucked away in a peaceful, private area. The owners were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but it still felt private enough to relax completely. The hot tub was a real highlight after long days out cycling. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the cottage is right under Stansteds 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 come back!"
