"We loved staying here! The cottage is super cosy and just remote enough for peace, but still close to shops and cafes. The hot tub was a highlight and the underfloor heating kept everything snug. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel really welcome. Cant wait to return!"

"We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage! The owners are genuinely kind and really attentive, making us feel welcome from the start. The place itself is spotless and beautifully maintained, with a really cosy vibe. The shower is great and the bed was super comfy. Parking right next to the cottage was a big plus. We enjoyed peaceful walks to Thaxted, with its pretty half-timbered houses and windmill. Definitely recommend!"

Alexandra - Nov 2024
"We had a really lovely stay at this cosy place tucked away in a peaceful spot. The owners were super friendly and always ready to help if needed, but it still felt private and quiet. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling - definitely a highlight! A heads up though: it's right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Overall, a great find!"

"We had such a lovely weekend here! The place was just what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. Our dogs adored the underfloor heating and had a blast in the garden.

Tommy - Aug 2024
"We had a really lovely time staying here! Sharon and Robert were such welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home.

Martin - Dec 2023
"We had such a lovely stay at this good place. The setting is truly beautiful and private, perfect for relaxing. The owners were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but kept their distance enough to preserve that peaceful vibe. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day cycling - absolutely loved it! Only thing to mention is that the cottage is right under the Stansted flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but its worth noting if youre sensitive to noise. Overall, a really enjoyable break!"
Raj - Dec 2023
"We had a lovely stay at this peaceful little spot. The location is stunning and feels very private, which we really appreciated. The hosts were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but it still felt like we had our own space. The hot tub was such a treat after a long day of cycling. One thing to note, though-it's right under Stansted's 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 holiday at all. Would recommend!"

"Enjoyed everything"
Beverly - Aug 2022
"Great site and facilities. Friendly staff and good location. Sadly the outdoor pool was shut for a few days.
Value for money in context is based on the unreasonable hike (double in this case) that all holiday companies seem to levy on parents at school holidays."
