"We had a fantastic weekend here and really enjoyed our stay. The place was just what we needed - cosy and welcoming. Our dogs had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating and the garden was perfect for them to run around. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it! Totally happy pups and humans. Well be back for sure!"

"Our Ruby Country Lodges review: We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners are genuinely warm and helpful, making us feel very welcome from the start. The place itself is spotless, super cosy and well heated-perfect for relaxing after a day out. The shower is great and the bed was really comfy. Parking right next to the cottage is a big plus and we enjoyed walking through the fields to Thaxted. Definitely a place we'd return to!"

"We had such a lovely stay in this charming little spot. The location is stunning and feels very private, which we really appreciated. The owners are super friendly and helpful, always nearby if you need anything but without intruding on your peace. The hot tub was a real highlight after a day out cycling-absolutely perfect! A quick heads-up: the cottage is 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 honestly, it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Would definitely recommend!"

Olivia - Sep 2024
"We had a fantastic stay! The house was super well equipped and kept us warm and cosy, even on that rainy December day. The bath was perfect after a long walk and the shower was a nice bonus. Being near the flight path didnt bother us at all, honestly. Ideal spot for dogs scared of fireworks, nestled in the countryside. Thanks a lot!"

"Brilliant relaxing lodge, very clean, spacious and quiet. Very friendly staff."
Rebecca - Sep 2024
"We had a really lovely stay at this place. The location is super private and peaceful, surrounded by nature but still close enough to amenities. The owners were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help us whenever we needed. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day cycling - so relaxing! The only thing to keep in mind is the noise from the planes overhead, as its right under Stansted's flight path. It didnt bother us much after a while, but might be a bit much if you're sensitive to noise. Still, wed definitely come back!"

"We really enjoyed our visit; the scenery was lovely and walking with the dogs was perfect."
Ellie - Aug 2024
"The lodge and area was wonderful, better than expected. We loved it so much that we booked for next year whilst still there. The only downside is the mattress in master bedroom, I thought I was gunna be flung out of it every time my partner moved due to the bounce and springs in mattress however that was clearly not enough to put me off, for a week I can easily deal with that. Most places we visited, it was about an hours drive so definitely wouldnt recommend if you dont have access to a car. It was so lovely and quiet. Hot tub was an added bonus.Lodge had a bath which was perfect for my children who dont like showers. Excited to come back again"

"We had a fantastic stay at this charming cottage! It really is a little gem - fully equipped, so we didnt need to bring a thing. The welcome pack was thoughtful, with all the info and menus we could ask for. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs, who absolutely loved it. The hot tub was a real treat after long days out. Sharon and Rob were super quick to respond if we had questions. Thanks for making our break so lovely - well definitely be coming back!"

"Honestly, our stay had its ups and downs. The water heater was a bit of a nightmare, needing resets all the time and one morning we just couldnt get hot water at all. We reported it to the site manager, who checked it out and thought it might be the gas bottle not switching properly, but the issue kept going. Turns out, the boiler was overdue for a safety check too, which was a bit worrying-photos of the reset button and the active indicator confirm it. On the other hand, the place was really spacious and peaceful, which was lovely. We also appreciated having plenty of DVDs to watch. That said, there were quite a few basic things missing-no microwave containers, oven dishes suitable for casseroles, or even essentials like a washing up cloth, brush, or enough bin liners (luckily, we brought some ourselves). The bathroom amenities were lacking too: no hairdryer, slip mats, or bath mats. The main bedroom door catch was quite stiff, making it a struggle to open and the bathroom door wasnt much better. The hot tub cover looked like it needed replacing. Still, overall, it was decent for a quiet getaway, despite the little inconveniences."

"We spent five nights in Ruby Country Lodges.
The complex was in a secluded spot and there was plenty of things to do in the area. It was calm and peaceful.
The maintenance staff Mark was available every day and he and his colleagues are up keeping the complex to a high standard.
The instructions for guests was extremely clear and all our queries were answered in the booklet."

Deborah - Feb 2022
"This was our 3 rd visit and the lodge which was a Tamar is looking tired and some of the kitchen cupboards and cooker need a good steam clean. Dirty marks on the mattress which we only discovered when we stripped the beds. Needs updating and refreshing especially the decking and outdoor furniture"
Sandra - Dec 2021
"We have been going to Ruby lodges for about 8 years now and we absolutely love it! It’s quiet and relaxing and such a peaceful retreat. The lodges are always spotless and the staff are extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them, we would highly recommend it here."
