"The cottage was a real find, tucked away on a working farm but surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon were lovely hosts, making us feel welcome from the start. The place itself is spacious and well equipped, especially the kitchen and bathroom - no complaints there! The bed was super comfy, which was much appreciated after long walks. The garden's perfect for dogs and totally secluded with nice furniture. We explored loads of nearby trails and loved having options for meals in Thaxted - The Star and The Maypole are great spots. Honestly, wed definitely recommend it!"
"We really enjoyed our stay here! The place is so peaceful and perfect for our doggies."
"We needed a break with the dog and honestly, it was just what we hoped for. The place was lovely and the location meant plenty of walks and good local pubs nearby. We didn't want to leave!"
"Nice lodge overall, but a bit more storage would make it perfect."
"Our Blaithwaite Country House Estate review: All lovely lodge just maybe a little more storage would be helpful"
"The lodge was tiny not for 6 people"
"We had a wonderful stay at this charming spot! The setting is truly peaceful and quite private, perfect for relaxing. The owners were super friendly and always ready to help if needed, but they didn't intrude on our privacy at all. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling - absolute bliss! One thing to note, though, is that the cottage is directly beneath Stansted's flight path, so there's quite a bit of noise from planes. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Definitely recommend!"
"We had a lovely time staying in the Star Gazer! The swing chair was definitely our favourite spot to relax. A little privacy for the hot tub wouldve been nice though, as its pretty open. Also, the steps are a bit dodgy - could do with some fixing. Oh and fairy lights outside would really add a cosy touch. Overall, wed happily return - the staff were really lovely too!"
"We had a lovely time at Lakewood Lodge. The place was spotless and really spacious, with lots to explore nearby. Definitely a peaceful and welcoming spot for a break!"
"Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really put thought into everything. Extremely relaxing experience. Will definitely tell our friends."
"We stayed at this lovely place during a rainy December and it was perfect. The house is super well equipped and really cosy, which was much appreciated. The bath was fantastic and the shower was a nice size. The location is peaceful, great for dogs who dislike fireworks and the fact that its on a flight path didnt bother us at all. Would definitely recommend!"
"We had such a lovely stay! The lodge was super cosy and beautifully kept, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle. The hot tub was a real treat and it was nice knowing it was maintained daily. The location was peaceful but still close enough to shops. Definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway!"
"We had an awesome weekend here! The place ticked all our boxes and we genuinely loved it. The dogs were totally spoiled - especially with the underfloor heating, which they adored. The garden was perfect for them to play in. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, but shes fine now. Well definitely be back!"
"We loved this cosy cottage! The hot tub and log burner made it extra special. Hosts were lovely and its so peaceful here. Hope to come back soon!"
