"We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage, nestled on a working farm but surprisingly private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are such lovely people, really friendly and welcoming. The place itself is super spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave! The garden is perfect for dogs, totally secluded and furnished nicely. Plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted has some cracking restaurants like The Star and The Maypole-definitely recommend this spot!"

"We had a lovely stay at this place, nestled in such a peaceful and private spot. The owners were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, but it never felt intrusive. The hot tub was a real treat after a long cycle day! One thing to mention, though, is that the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us after a while, but if youre sensitive to noise, its something to consider. Overall, wed definitely come back!"

"Our autumn break at Oathill Farm Lodges was truly wonderful! The cabin was super cosy, spotless and kept warm throughout our stay. The beds were comfy and the hot tub was a real treat after a day out. The owners were lovely-friendly, helpful and full of local tips. Plus, we got to try some fantastic homegrown peppers. Wed definitely come back!"

Amelia - Oct 2024
"We had a fantastic week at Oathill Farm Lodges! The lodges had everything we needed and the hot tub was such a treat after a day out. We really appreciated the lack of internet - it was a perfect chance to unwind and spend proper quality time together as a family. You could tell the lodge was dog-friendly, especially with the slightly worn sofa, but honestly, it didnt impact comfort at all. The location is brilliant, with loads of things nearby that are great for both kids and dogs - even a farm to visit! Huge thanks to Nicky and Adrian for such a warm welcome and all their local tips. We loved it!"

Julia - Jul 2023
"We loved the tranquil setting and the tidy grounds. The shower block was really nice and clean, which is always a plus. The only thing to watch out for is that the lodges run purely on electric-no gas. We appreciated Carol giving us a heads-up and calling before our stay to sort out bedding. Overall, quite a pleasant stay!"

Oliver - Jul 2018
"Honestly, the cabin didnt have a shower, just a bath, which was a bit of a let-down. I ended up using the shared shower facilities-theyre really great, super clean and well-stocked. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous, so it wasnt a problem. If it had been cold, Id have been more bothered!"
Jessica - May 2018
"We absolutely loved the lodge! The only reason we took one mark off was because the hand shower in the bathroom was a bit of a nuisanceit kept flying off the taps, so we couldn't really use it for a shower. Still, it hasn't put us off at all because the lodge is truly great!"
Lucy - Sep 2014
"We had a really good holiday in Dorset! The lodges were nice and centrally located, which made it easy to explore the area. Definitely a great spot for a getaway."

"If you're looking for a quiet location set in lovely countryside, this is ideal. There aren't any facilities on site, but the accommodation was excellent and all the staff we met were great."
Andrew - Jul 2022
"A lovely lodge in a rural setting but within reach of the coast and main towns of Somerset and Dorset. We had a very warm welcome from the site managers and we were impressed with how tidy and clean they kept the site. Thank you to them also for the information they gave us about walks in the locality. It really made our holiday one to remember."

"Warm welcome, lovely quiet spot."
Donna - Jun 2022
"Had a very enjoyable and relaxing week at Oathill. The hot tub was great and checked daily to ensure the water quality was good. I feel the lodge would benefit from a proper shower instead of the tap attachment, although we used the onsite showers and due to only the lodges being in use there were no queues, but I can imagine them being very busy once more tents/caravans were on the site. The dog walking field is a great idea, ours especially enjoyed a run off lead, despite running into a wire fence due to the long grass on the perimeter! We will definitely return one day ?"
Amanda - Jun 2022
"We had a fabulous time at Oat Hill Farm, staying in Cherry Tree lodge. The setting was peaceful and beautiful and we would have liked more time to explore the area. The staff couldn't have been more helpful.
Our only query was although we enjoyed meeting the emus on the farm, we decided against following the footpath through their field as we weren't sure if they would have welcomed us!"
Clare - May 2022
"My two sisters and I booked this for a weekend getaway and it was everything we hoped for. the facilities were great and the hot tub very welcome. Everything was clean and comfortable and I'd definitely look to come back again even if we did it the traditional camping way."
