"The owners were super friendly and really helpful when the storm knocked out the power. The place was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Our dog loved the secure garden and we definitely enjoyed the hot tub too!"
"We had a lovely stay at this place. The setting is really peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing away from everything. The owners were super friendly and always available if we needed anything, but they also respected our privacy completely. After long days cycling, the hot tub was just what we needed-so relaxing! One thing to keep in mind is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our trip at all. Definitely recommend!"
"We had a lovely time and will definitely come back. Highly recommend for a chill getaway!"
"Loved it, we will definitely return and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break"
"Our Braidhaugh Park review: We had such a lovely stay at this cosy little spot. The location is beautifully secluded, offering real privacy, which we appreciated. The owners were super friendly and helpful when we needed anything, yet they kept a respectful distance. The hot tub was a real highlight after a day out cycling-its just what we needed! One thing to note, though, is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of noise from the planes. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip at all. Would definitely recommend!"
"We recently had a lovely getaway and honestly, it was just what we needed as a couple with a 10-month-old baby. The hot tub was definitely a highlight - so relaxing! The glamping pod was okay, though I think a few tweaks could make it even better. For example, the floors were quite wet when we arrived, which wasnt ideal, especially since towels are limited - we had to use what we brought along to dry up. Some outdoor lighting would also make a big difference, as the area around the pod is pretty dark at night; a few lights outside would make it safer and more inviting. We also found it handy to have a mirror outside the bathroom - itd be perfect for quick hair fixes or plugging in tools without rummaging through our bags or using phones. A full-length mirror outside the toilet door would be another small but useful addition. Cooking was a bit of a letdown, sadly. We like to prepare proper meals, but on arrival, there was no big knife or chopping board, so we had to buy those ourselves, which caught us off guard. There was also a very strong smell of bleach when we arrived, so we bought a candle to help mask it - it was quite overpowering. The on-site restaurant and bar close quite early, at 4:30 pm, but since its next to a beautiful river, thats understandable - you wouldnt want a lot of rowdy folk around. Overall, it was a decent stay and quite enjoyable. Just a few small improvements could make it a perfect 10/10!"
"We had a really lovely stay at this place. The house is super well equipped and kept us warm despite the rainy weather. The bath was perfect for a relaxing soak and the shower was spacious too. Being on a flight path didnt bother us at all, which was a relief. Plus, its perfect if youve got dogs who hate fireworks - so quiet and peaceful out here. Thanks a lot!"
"We had a lovely stay in this cosy getaway, tucked away in a peaceful spot. The owners were genuinely friendly and always there if we needed anything, but it still felt private enough to relax. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling - bliss! One thing to note, though, is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a few hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip at all. Definitely recommend!"
"We found the pods to be just right for a small family or a couple. Everything you need for a quick getaway is there. The hot tubs were brilliant and we loved lighting the fire to warm them up-its such a nice touch!"
"Pods we're ideal, perfect for a couple or small family with everything you need for a short break. Hot tubs were fantastic and we really liked the idea of building the fire to heat the tub up."

"We recently stayed at this charming cottage tucked away on a working farm and it really felt like a peaceful retreat. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely people. The place itself is unexpectedly spacious, with well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The bed was super comfy, which was a bonus! The garden is private and dog-proof, perfect for relaxing outdoors. There are some great walks nearby and Thaxted has a few good eateries like The Star and The Maypole. Wed definitely recommend it!"

"We had such a lovely weekend staying here! Everything met our expectations and were already thinking about coming back. The pups had a blast - they loved the underfloor heating and playing in the garden. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, but the vet said its from all the excitement. Happy dogs, happy us!"
"We just got back from a four-night stay at this charming cottage and honestly, it was lovely. The owners are super friendly but not overbearing, which we appreciated. The fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around safely. The place had everything we could possibly need, including a well-stocked kitchen. We even enjoyed a BBQ one evening and the hot tub was just fantastic! Wed definitely come back and have already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a great time!"
