"Weve just spent another wonderful two week family break staying at the beautiful, peaceful Chestnut Lodge. Highly recommend and already looking returning again next year."
"Beautiful Lodge, amazing welcome pack. Great communication from the owners. All the little touches like local info, soap, washing up liquid etc that are often not included at other lodges."
"We stayed in Cherry Lodge, with a hot tub. My husband needed an accessible bathroom..it was lovely. He used the ramp entry into the lodge easily we felt very relaxed. My granddaughter, two and a half, loved the playground. It is a resort still in development, but we were not disturbed by building noise at all. Haystax close proximity to Gateshead made visiting our son easy. We went to Beamish living museum, that was amazing..and it's also close by. Lorna gave us careful check in instructions and left a lovely hamper..thankyou."

"Really enjoyed our visit, the setting was beautiful and walking with the dogs was perfect fun!"
"Thanks Lorna and Ian, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful stay at Cherry Lodge. Your thoughtful touches made it truly specialfrom the non-alcoholic welcome drinks and birthday card for my daughter to the delightful breakfast hamper. It was such a pleasant surprise and deeply appreciated! The lodge itself exceeded all expectations. The high-standard amenities (washing machine with dryer, separate fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and even a vacuum cleaner!) made our stay effortless. The quality of the furniture, crockery, and cutlery was outstanding, and the provision of toiletriesincluding handy extras like ear budsshowed remarkable attention to detail. We especially loved the separate towels for the bath and hot tub. Our goal was a relaxing family getaway, and Cherry Lodge delivered perfectly. In fact, the experience surpassed even our stays at Havens platinum lodges! Thank you again for your hospitality. We would not hesitate to return or recommend your lodge to others. Warm regards, Zeeshan and family"
"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!"
"We had a great stay at Stoneycroft Cottage as a group of 6 friends. The cottage was well presented and clean on arrival. We particularly liked the extra touches of a welcome basket, animal feed, hot tub towels etc. 3 ensuite bedrooms was perfect for a group like us and beds were comfy. The kitchen was well appointed. The owner communicated well."
"We stayed in this lovely, well-kept house and honestly, it was perfect for a cosy winter break. The place was warm and inviting, especially on that rainy December day. The bath was just the right size and the shower was great too. Being near a flight path didnt bother us at all and its a fantastic spot if your dogs hate fireworks - so peaceful! Thanks a lot!"
"We had a lovely stay at the lodge! The photos dont quite capture how cosy and charming it really is. Communication was smooth and friendly throughout our visit. Cheers!"
"We had a fantastic weekend at this cottage! The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and the bed was honestly the most comfy weve ever slept in away from home. The host was really friendly and gave us all the info we needed. Plus, feeding the alpacas and cattle was such a treat. Highly recommend!"
"This cottage is everything you could want and more. Welcome basket with all your essentials was a lovely touch. Most comfortable bed Ive stopped in away from home. The host was very helpful and provided all the info you could need. Theres even food to feed the alpaca and cattle provided. A lovely relaxing weekend"
"We had a lovely stay! The cottage was cosy with a log burner and hot tub and the hosts were so welcoming. Would definitely come back!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was new and beautifully kept. Definitely recommend!"
"We had a fantastic weekend stay here! The place was just what we needed and we really enjoyed our time. The garden was perfect for the dogs and they were so happy, especially with the underfloor heating-Luna even came home with a strained tail from all the wagging! Definitely planning to return soon. Truly a great spot for us and the pups!"
"Absolutely loved our time at Goddards Mead! The cottage was perfect in every aspect, cosy, clean and welcoming. Well definitely return soon!"
"We loved staying at this adorable cottage! Its perfectly tucked away for peace but close enough to everything. The hot tub was fantastic and the underfloor heating kept us super cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel right at home. Well be back soon for sure!"
"We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage tucked away on a working farm, yet it felt so private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely people. The place is really spacious and the kitchen and bathroom are well equipped, making everything easy. The bed was super comfy, which is always a plus. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely secluded and furnished nicely. Plenty of walks nearby and Thaxteds restaurants like The Star and The Maypole are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!"
"The owners really have thought of everything here. We had such a relaxing stay, honestly loved it! Would definitely tell friends about it."
"Such a lovely spot, really relaxing with the jacuzzi. Will return!"
"We had such a lovely stay! The owners are genuinely friendly and go out of their way to help. The cottage itself is charming, with its traditional half-timbered look and the shower's really powerful-so refreshing after a day out. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made it feel like a home away from home. Parking right next to the cottage was a real bonus. It's well heated, spotless and perfect for exploring the local area, especially those lovely walks to Thaxted. Wed definitely come back!"
"Really enjoyed our stay here. The garden was perfect for our dog, fully enclosed and safe. Highly recommend!"
"We needed a quick getaway with the dog and honestly, it was just what we wanted. Lovely countryside, great local pubs nearby and the place itself was comfy. The dog loved it so much, didnt want to leave!"
