"The lodge was really cosy and just right for our stay. The only downer was no microwave, which would've been handy. Still, perfect for what we needed!"
Emma Clarke - Mar 2025
"We spent a week here in July with our two tiny dachshunds and honestly, they loved every minute. The village of Thaxted is adorable and the hosts made us feel super welcome. The cottage itself is really charming, especially the hot tub-perfect for cooling off during those scorching days, it was such a treat. Watching planes land near Stansted was surprisingly fun and we enjoyed seeing the hustle and bustle. All in all, a lovely stay and we'd definitely recommend if you're after a relaxed getaway with your furry friends!"

"We had a great stay at this lovely cottage tucked away on a working farm, but its surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon are such warm, friendly hosts. The place itself is really spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed thats perfect after a days exploring. The garden is lovely-completely dog-proof and nicely furnished. Plenty of walks nearby and we found some cracking restaurants in Thaxted, especially The Star and The Maypole. Honestly, wed definitely recommend it!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge, it looks fantastic and has a modern vibe. Can't wait until the build is fully finished because it will look even better! That said, a few things could be improved-like the finishing touches, which werent quite up to scratch and slightly took away from the sleek look. It could have been cleaner too, with cobwebs around. A vacuum wouldve been handy, as we only had a dustpan and brush. Also, the front door needs some sort of cover or privacy glass for better privacy. Still, we had a lovely time overall!"
Alex - Oct 2024

Definitely a break well remember!"

"We had such a lovely weekend here! The place was perfect for what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. Our dogs were especially happy - they couldn't get enough of the underfloor heating and the garden. Luna even came home with a strained tail from all the wagging! Well definitely be coming back soon. Brilliant stay!"

"The cottage was really charming and perfect for some peaceful downtime. Just a heads-up, there are planes flying at night near Stanstead, but the hot tub made up for it!"
Jane - Dec 2023
"We absolutely loved our stay here! The setting is so peaceful and private, it felt like a little retreat. The owners are super friendly and always there if you need anything, but they respect your space completely. The hot tub was a real highlight after cycling around all day. One thing to note, though, is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so there can be quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but its worth mentioning if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, a lovely place!"
Raj - Dec 2023

The place is surprisingly spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely secluded and furnished nicely. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxteds restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!"
George - Oct 2023

"We stayed at this place during a rainy December and it was super cosy and well equipped, which made all the difference. The bath was so relaxing and the shower was perfect after a long day. The location is really peaceful, even with the nearby flight path, we barely noticed. Perfect spot for dogs that hate fireworks - theyd love it here! Thanks a lot for a lovely stay."
Harriet - Aug 2023
"We had a really lovely stay at this peaceful spot. The owners are super friendly and always ready to help without intruding on your privacy. The location is beautiful and private, perfect for relaxing. The hot tub was a real treat after a day out cycling. One thing to keep in mind is the noise from planes overhead since its right under Stansteds flight path. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt spoil our trip. Would definitely recommend for a quiet getaway!"
