"Really enjoyed our stay! The place was lovely, but adding a gate on the deck would make it perfect for dog and kid safety. Would definitely come back!"

"We recently stayed at the Willow holiday home for 6 and honestly, it was pretty great. The place was spotless and felt brand new, which was a nice surprise. The beds and sofa were super comfy, perfect for relaxing after a day out. The kitchen was decent equipped, though the oven could be better - it took a while to cook stuff evenly. We loved having a large fridge and freezer; really handy. The heating was easy to control and kept the place warm without any fuss. The shower was powerful and refreshing, which we appreciated. Our spot was in the back row (number 24), with lovely views - definitely a peaceful area. The main bedroom was a good size with plenty of storage, so no trouble unpacking. The twin rooms were small, as expected, but fine for our teenage daughters. Just a heads-up: the beds in the second room are tiny - probably best for kids or really small teenagers. Overall, a lovely stay for four of us, even though its meant for six. Just keep those small beds in mind when booking!"

Ellie - Feb 2025
"We had a fantastic time staying here! Sharon and Robert made us feel right at home, which was lovely. The place was spotless, comfy and felt safe for our dog Archie, which meant a lot. The location was perfect for exploring, with lots of walks nearby and charming villages like Thaxted just a short drive away. Honestly, we left feeling really recharged and relaxed. Definitely a break well remember!"

"Clawford Lakes really is a fantastic spot for a getaway! All of us in the group loved the range of activities and the fact that everything was included-no extra costs. We didnt feel the need to go anywhere else, but one day we drove to the beach, just half an hour away, which was absolutely lovely. Definitely recommend!"

George - Aug 2024
"We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot, tucked away in such a peaceful, private setting. The owners were super friendly and really helpful, always nearby if we needed anything but still maintaining that perfect sense of seclusion. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling. Only thing to note is that 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 trip at all. Would definitely recommend!"

Simon Harper - Mar 2024
"This place is a real gem! Tucked away in a stunning, secluded spot, its perfect for a peaceful getaway. The owners are super friendly and there if you need anything, but they respect your privacy completely. The hot tub was just what we needed after cycling all day. One thing to note, the cottage is directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of noise from 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!"
Rajesh - Mar 2024
"The lodge had really nice fixtures and fittings; we didnt feel like we needed anything extra. The furniture was comfy and gave a modern vibe."
Sarah - Mar 2024
"The cottage was just what we needed-completely cosy and secluded, yet not far from local shops. The hot tub was a highlight and the underfloor heating in the bathroom kept us toasty. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Can't wait to return for longer!"

Sheila - Aug 2022
"A fantastic place for a relaxing holiday, even if you don't fish!"
Simon - Jul 2022
"We didn't come to fish - we just wanted a break, though having seen the lakes I would like to come back and fish them at a let date. The thing that strikes you about the place is how quiet it is and that was acknowledging the building work that was still going on. The welcome pack of goodies was a surprise and a real nice touch - thank you, plus we found a Waitrose not that far away in Holsworthy. The weather, which was great, obviously influenced our review, but it was so nice to have our meals on our patio and just chill and this place lets you do that. We heard that there are big plans for the site, including erecting quite a few more lodges, so it will be interesting to see how things progress. Hopefully the serenity of the place isn't spoilt as it grows. Two small gripes - 1. There was no mirror, except in the bathroom, making drying hair a bit of a challenge (this was more of an issue for my wife - she has a lot more hair than me!) - 2. The shower was a bit small. We're not big people but are a bit older than some and when you dropped the soap, let's just say that it was a bit of a challenge to pick it up! These may both have been addressed in other apartments/other accommodation, but thought it worth mentioning. Overall though, we'd recommend (and have already recommended) this place."

When the spa and leisure lake open something for everyone to do. Definitely going back next year. Small amount of work going on but didn’t spoil it."
Kathryn - Jul 2022
"Beautiful resort and spotless accommodation. Restaurant food was exquisite and staff were very attentive. I advised that it was my partner’s birthday and we arrived to find a cake, bacon, eggs, sausage, milk, orange juice, bread and butter in the kitchen, a lovely touch, thank you!"
Samantha - Jul 2022
"We had an amazing stay at Clawford lakes, the location is simply beautiful. Very peaceful and the staff were helpful. Free bikes/helmets to hire which were of very good standard. The hot tub was super clean, staff check the water every day.
Only a few small bits of feedback: no hair dryer in our apartment, no kitchen roll or foil in the kitchen, very basic supplies and for the price we paid a hand pump of soap and shampoo/conditioner would of been a nice touch."
