"We arrived for a 3 night break from Friday to Monday and was looking forward to the weekend as we had upgraded our accommodation to the olive 2 caravan with outdoor decking and picnic bench. On arrival we were greeted by the friendly receptionist and told where our caravan was. Our caravan was right next to the bar and grill which wasnt ideal as we had groups of people constantly being noisy outside our caravan. The caravan itself was not very well equipped, a very small tv, lack of basic cutlery and very bare inside, bed was comfortable and the shower was great though. We was expecting wrap around decking and we had an end bit with double doors onto it, no picnic table either. The caravan next door was empty and for sale and there was a large side decking area just abandoned next to our caravan. We did have a nice walk to Stanhope down the river, not much there to do though. Overall we were very disappointed with our upgrade and would not be returning."
"Really impressed with how everything was thought of, curtains felt so high-end too!"
"Really enjoyed our recent trip. The cottage was lovely, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. Well definitely return soon!"
"Really enjoyed our stay! The house was spotless, super comfy and the hot tub was the highlight."
"Our Heather View Leisure Park review: We had a lovely time exploring the fields with the dogs, really enjoyed the peaceful walk. Would come back!"
"Very pleased with everything"
"We stayed here for a week in July with our two mini dachshunds and honestly, they loved it! The village of Thaxted is charming and they made loads of new friends. The cottage itself is really cosy and the hot tub was a massive plus, especially since the weather was scorching - the cooled water felt so nice. The hosts were super friendly and it was lovely to see their dogs out and about with them. Yes, its near Stansteds flight path, but honestly, I found it quite interesting watching the planes land. Would definitely recommend!"
"Staff did not come to check at all during our stay despite telling us that would check it daily. Temperature was to hot and couldn't be adjusted"
"We had a lovely stay, the place was spotless and super comfy, hot tub was a real treat!"
"Good quality, but the drain was a bit grubby."
"We loved the caravan-really top notch, with a high-end finish thats perfect for dog owners. The only downside was the restaurant, which was limited to takeaway during COVID."
"We had a really lovely stay at this good place! The setting is so peaceful and private, yet the owners are super friendly and always ready to help if needed. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling around the area. 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 didn't bother us much after a while, but it might be worth considering if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, wed definitely come back!"
"We had such a peaceful getaway. The cottage was spotless and had all the essentials plus some lovely little touches. Highly recommend!"
"Although the deluxe caravan wasnt up to scratch and didnt meet our expectations, the upgraded lodge more than made up for it - we absolutely loved it xx"
"Really comfy and stylish"
"We really enjoyed our stay here! Sharon and Robert were such friendly hosts and made us feel right at home. The place had everything we needed-spotlessly clean, comfy and perfect for Archie, our dog. The location was great, with loads of lovely walks around and nearby villages like Thaxted. Honestly, we left feeling refreshed and relaxed. It was just what we needed for a proper break!"
"The owners really seem to have covered all bases. We had such a relaxing stay and would definitely tell friends about it."
"Really enjoyed it, would definitely return soon."
"We had a lovely stay at this good place, set in such a peaceful, private spot. The hosts were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, but the place still kept that lovely sense of seclusion. The hot tub was a real treat after cycling all day! Just a heads up, the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, its worth knowing. Overall, a great place to unwind!"
"The cottage was stunning, with a cosy log burner and hot tub that made our stay really special. Hosts were lovely and welcoming. Hope to come back soon!"
"Great weekend getaway! The place was perfect for a last-minute booking and we honestly couldnt be happier."
"Great holiday overall, kids had a blast! Wed definitely come back again."
"Beautiful surroundings and a lovely stay, highly recommend!"
"Nice spot for a quick break with the family, really enjoyed it."
"We had a lovely time in a beautiful spot. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The caravan was comfortable, though it did have a slight pet odour - understandable since its pet friendly and it seemed to be the only choice available. Overall, a really enjoyable break, wed come back!"
"Really impressed with how everything was thought of, curtains included, felt quite luxury!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, everything was spotless and the bedding was crisp and clean. Will definitely return!"

"A great park! Very quiet and very friendly everywhere you go. Picturesque walks along the river into the village too. Only down side is the breakfast was poor and the bars expensive but it wouldn’t put me off returning ?"
"Everything about it was excellent.I would definitely recommend it.We had a great time.I have already recommended it to friends."
"well kept site very clean and comfortable caravan good entertainment and food"
"Lovely staff friendly as soon as we arrived , site well maintained and caravan was spotlessly clean had everything we required with nice touches . Only negative was the cleanliness of the bar area tables outside were dirty , staff didn’t acknowledge and it wasn’t busy . Other point we would like to make we had a lovely picnic bench outside the caravan but unable to use due to flies from the dog waste bin and rubbish / recycling area next to our caravan ."
"very peaceful park. Great restaurant and bar."
"Stunning Place, beautiful walks local to town."
"Excellently maintained grounds. Friendly staff, very quiet. 3 parks which were excellent for all ages of children, particularly under 12s. Shop very basic but covered what we needed. Bar/restaurant food simple and filled a hole! Would visit again.
Caravan was immaculate. Very new and super comfy. Ash Grove 9"
"Excellent location for exploring the area. Very relaxing and chilled Park with all the required facilities nearby. Also, plenty of options to get active too; Mountain biking, swimming, walking, etc. Kids were impressed with the park and wildlife. Def would return."
"We had a fabulous week at this lovely caravan park. Second time we have been and it wont be the last. Its a lovely quiet site. The site is well kept and clean. Our Caravan was spotless and had everything we needed. Cannot comment on the on site pub and restaurant as we didnt use them.Cant wait to go back."
"Lovely park and surrounding area, ground staff are always working to keep the park spotless, only concern was the music coming from the entertainment center,we could hear it in our caravan which was a couple of streets away , thankfully it was only on Friday and Saturday and stops about 10.30 ,the area near reception would be quieter"
"Lovely park

New and clean
Great value for money."
"Lovely location peaceful tranquil and staff very helpful and friendly."
