"We really enjoyed our stay! The kitchen corner was a bit dark since theres only a row of spotlights down the centre, so we thought a bit of extra lighting might help, but honestly its no biggie. We also mentioned maybe adding some hooks in the hot tub area for hanging towels or robes and possibly a small shelf or st and to hold a tablet or speaker for watching or listening to music - just little tweaks. Overall, it was a fantastic weekend and were already thinking about coming back someday! Nothing major, just small suggestions for an even better stay. Cheers!"

"We had a lovely stay at this cottage! The owners were so friendly and thoughtful, really making us feel welcome. The place itself is adorable, with its charming half-timbered look and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave. The shower was powerful and the heating kept everything cosy. Parking right outside was a real bonus and we enjoyed walking through the fields to Thaxted. Definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway!"

Jordan - Oct 2024
"Would not return and had to leave early as the place was so freezing. Hot tub wasn't ready so couldn't use this even although we explained it was the reason for booking the getaway. They were expecting us to arrive and no staff were there. We had to go knock on a guests home to find out how we could get into our pod to be told it's open just go in. We had no phone or internet signal and with it being in the middle of nowhere you would think the staff or owners would be there to help guests. Shower was broke pod was so cold we had to leave early."

"We had a fantastic weekend stay! The place really ticked all the boxes for us and were already planning to return. Our dogs had a blast with the underfloor heating and spent ages playing in the garden. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it-bless her! Definitely a hit with both us and the pups!"

"We had a lovely week here from 15 to 22 July with our two mini dachshund girls, who had a great time making new friends in Thaxted. The cottage itself is very charming and the hot tub was definitely a highlight, especially during the hot weather - it was cooled down and quite refreshing. The hosts were genuinely welcoming, which made us feel at home. It was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. And watching the planes land near Stansted was surprisingly relaxing. Wed definitely recommend it!"

Oliver - Nov 2023
"We loved the stunning setting, really peaceful and perfect for unwinding. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, such a treat after a long day. Sadly, the WiFi was a bit of a letdown - despite the staffs efforts with a booster, it didnt work. Still, overall, a lovely spot for some relaxation. Highly recommend!"

Louisa - Aug 2023
"We had a wonderful stay at this charming place tucked away in a quiet spot. The owners were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if we needed anything, yet it felt really private. After a long day of cycling, the hot tub was just what we needed-so relaxing! The only thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to 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 didn't ruin our holiday at all. Would definitely recommend!"

"We found the place quite decent overall, but the unwashed mug in the cupboard was a bit off-putting. Also, only one toilet roll supplied, so we brought our own."
Jamie - Jun 2023
"Our weekend stay was just perfect! The place had everything we needed and we really enjoyed ourselves. The garden was great for the pups, who couldn't get enough of it, especially with the underfloor heating. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it-poor girl! Definitely planning to come back soon. We had a lovely time!"

"We had a cracking time staying here in November 2019and decided to come back in January 2020 - no regrets! The lodge is spotlessly clean and super comfy, even when its freezing outside. Pauline is a star, always happy to share local tips and update us on road closures - she even popped by to check everything was alright, which we really appreciated given the weather. Cant wait to return again! Its a gem, though Id hate for it to get so popular we cant get a booking. Highly recommended!"
Harriet - Jan 2020
"Really enjoyed it, can't wait to come back again!"
Claire - Jan 2020
"We recently stayed at this lovely lodge and honestly, it exceeded our expectations. The place was spotless and super comfy, making it a real home from home. The kitchen was a highlight - perfect for cooking up a storm on those rainy, chilly days, with plenty of space for all our pots and plates. Inside, it felt warm and inviting and surprisingly roomy for four adults. The setting was simply stunning - rolling hills and a gentle river right outside. Pauline was a star, really helpful with directions and updates about the flooding, checking in on us and offering her contact for anything we needed. We didn't want to leave!"
