"We had a fantastic weekend from March 7th to 10th. Staying in the Hawaii cabin was a real treat-spotlessly clean and super comfy beds made all the difference. The hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The pizza van served up delicious pies and the bar was a lovely touch. Staff were friendly and always ready to help. Definitely coming back!"

"Our Flaxton Meadows Luxury Lodges review: We had a lovely stay at this place, tucked away in a really peaceful spot. The owners were super friendly and always there if we needed anything, but it still felt private enough to relax. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling around. Just a heads up, the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so you do get 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, wed happily come back!"

"We loved the peaceful setting for our 30th pearl anniversary. The lodge was spotless and cosy and the hot tub was fantastic-just watch the hot water! Could do with more cups and glasses, especially if you're with a bigger group. Still, overall, a great stay!"

"We had an amazing stay at this lodge! The setting is just gorgeous, surrounded by countryside and its perfectly placed for exploring York, the Moors, or the coast - all within easy reach. The park itself was really well-kept and peaceful. One of our favourite things was just lying back at night and gazing at the stars; its such a clear sky! The staff were lovely and made us feel really welcome. The lodge was spotless, spacious and super comfy. The hot tub with the view across the fields was a real bonus. Only tiny gripe was the fridge - a bit on the small side for self-catering, but honestly, it didnt spoil things. Highly recommend!"

"We had such a lovely stay! The owners were genuinely nice and went out of their way to help us. The cottage itself is adorable, with a charming half-timbered look and a really strong shower that we appreciated after long walks. The bed was super comfy and the cosy kitchen and living space made it feel like home. Parking right next to the cottage was a real bonus. Its well heated, spotlessly clean and perfect for exploring Thaxted and the surrounding fields. Wed definitely come back!"

Sarah - May 2022
"We were a little concerned about the reviews stating the lack of an oven but our lodge (Paris Pitch) was equipped with one as are the majority of the others.
The only reason for the 9 score was because you needed a car to get near to ant amenities such as shops and restaurants.
However it is a lovely tranquil setting and perfect for a relaxing break which was just what we needed."
Tony - May 2022
"We had a wonderful time. Such a beautiful lodge and the scenery outside while in the hot tub is stunning. The beds are very comfortable and showers were great! The only thing to be aware of is there isn’t an oven but there is a microwave and two ring hob. Apart from that there is everything you need for a lovely break. It’s also close to York so lots to do there for days out."
Amanda - Mar 2022
"AMAZING! The pictures just don't do this place justice. It was wonderfully modern, perfectly clean and a great place to relax and chill. The cabin was mega ECO and John explained a lot of what they'd done to make it so low energy comsumption. It was really comfy, all the fittings and finishings seemed to be of a high quality and we had a fabulous break there - the hot tub was a dream! Only thing to note is there is a 2 ring hob and a microwave combi oven, but no actual oven, so you'd need to think what you can cook with those limitations."
Rachael - Feb 2022
"Outstanding lodge in a lovely location. We were really impressed with quality of furnishings in the lodge and the hot tub was wonderful. The lodge sat right on the edge of the duck pond with a relaxing fountain which was illuminated at night. Our 3 year old loved the very friendly ducks that visited every morning. Only gripe was that there was not an integrated oven - a standalone mini-oven was in place but it was very difficult to cook for more than 2 people. However, this would not stop us from returning. Very happy with our stay."

"Flaxton meadows what an amazing getaway with a beautiful cabin and an amazing location, the log cabin was very spacious with everything you need and more. The campsite was lovely and the location was in a perfect spot as it wasn’t too far from York city centre and other places to visit. We would definitely visit again as we had a wonderful time."
