Visitor Reviews of Ashlea Pools Lodges

Thomas
Date of stay: 2nd June 2025
The surrounding area is beautiful and full of wild life. The Lodge was clean and well supplied with kitchen equipment. The Cafe/Pizzeria is a 100% must try with probably the best milkshakes i've ever had. Everything is decently priced and not over priced.There is a shop part of the cafe also with any supplies you might have forgotten to bring!On a whole it was a great little break away and hopefully will be back again

Cleaning was great. Obviously it is one of the older lodges and we found it quite small in the kitchen but have booked a larger lodge and more modern for the next visit, but have no real complaints about the mandarin.

Lovely spacious lodge. Hot tub was brilliant. Site seemed very peaceful and quiet despite going in school holidays. Cute play area for younger children and we all loved the swingball when we stumbled across it near the dog exercise pen!
Victor
Date of stay: 5th May 2025
The lodge was very nice and clean, enjoyed the hot tub. Very good value for money. Views across the pond were nice. Very quiet and peaceful

We had a wonderful stay! The lodge was charming, set in beautiful scenery and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. Really appreciated the warm welcome pack-such a lovely gesture that made our weekend extra special!

We had a lovely stay at this peaceful spot. Sharon and Robert really go above and beyond to make sure everything’s just right. Even on our second visit, we felt right at home. Can’t wait to come back!

James
Date of stay: 8th April 2025
We had a lovely stay at this cottage, nestled on a working farm but still very private. Robert and Sharon are such friendly hosts, making us feel really welcome. The place is surprisingly spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didn’t want to leave. The garden is perfect for dogs and nicely secluded, with plenty of walks nearby. Thaxted’s restaurants, especially The Star and The Maypole, were great. Overall, we’d definitely recommend it!
Oliver
Date of stay: 3rd April 2025
We needed a proper dog walking escape and this place delivered. Lovely countryside with plenty of off-road trails, great pubs nearby and top-notch accommodation. The dog was loving it, didn’t want to leave at all!
Laura
Date of stay: 24th March 2025
Really enjoyed our stay! The bed was super comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Big TV too!
Penny
Date of stay: 24th March 2025
Comfy beds and very well equipped kitchen. Big tv and sofa. Nice shower with plenty of hot water.
Jamie
Date of stay: 24th March 2025
We had such a lovely stay at this place! The setting is really beautiful and super private, which we loved. The owners are genuinely friendly and always happy to help if needed, but they respect your space. The hot tub was a real highlight after cycling all day. Only thing to note is that the cottage is right under the flight path at Stansted, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didn’t bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, just keep that in mind. Overall, a great spot!
Emma
Date of stay: 22nd March 2025
We had a fantastic weekend here! Perfect for a peaceful anniversary getaway, everything was just right.
Alex

Oliver Smith
Date of stay: 7th March 2025
We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners were so friendly and accommodating, really making us feel welcome. The place itself is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean and warm enough even on cooler days. The shower is excellent and the cosy kitchen and living space made relaxing after long walks. Parking right outside was a real bonus. Perfect spot for exploring Thaxted and its pretty countryside. Definitely recommend!
Emma Carter
Date of stay: 6th March 2025
We had an amazing weekend! The lodge was super cosy and spotless and the on-site facilities were top-notch. All the staff were friendly and really helpful too.
Harper
Date of stay: 4th March 2025
We had a fantastic time at Ashlea Pools! The lodges are super cosy and really well equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The hot tubs are always spotless and relaxing after a day out. The site itself is beautifully maintained, with a lovely little cafe that turns into a pizzeria four nights a week, which was a nice touch. The staff are friendly and always quick to help with anything. We’ve been twice and can’t wait to go back again!
Georgia
Date of stay: 26th February 2025
We had a really relaxing stay. The cottage was spotless and had all the essentials plus some nice little touches. Highly recommend!
Emma
Date of stay: 23rd February 2025
We just got back from a four-night stay at this cosy cottage and honestly, we had a great time. The owners were really friendly but not overbearing, which was perfect. The fenced garden was a big plus for our dog and the place had everything we needed - fully equipped and comfortable. We even enjoyed a BBQ one evening and the hot tub was fantastic! We’re already telling friends to check it out. Thanks for a lovely break!
Emma
Date of stay: 22nd February 2025
Really enjoyed our stay here, the place was lovely and perfect for a relaxing weekend away. Would return!
Emily
Date of stay: 16th February 2025
We had a lovely week at this cosy cottage with our two mini dachshunds, who really enjoyed exploring the village of Thaxted and making new friends. The place itself is charming and the hot tub was a real treat, especially during the scorching weather - it was cooled down just right! The hosts were super welcoming and friendly, which made us feel right at home. It was also nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Yes, you are near Stansted’s flight path, but we enjoyed watching the planes land. Definitely recommend!
Emily
Date of stay: 15th February 2025
We had a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage! It really is everything you could need, so no need to bring anything extra. We ended up overloading the car because the place is so well equipped. The welcome pack was a nice touch, with all the info and menus clearly thought out. The owners, Sharon and Rob, were quick to reply if we had questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was just perfect. Thanks for a great break, we’ll be back!
Emily
Date of stay: 14th February 2025

Only one criticism, someone checks the Jacuzzis everyday at random times, just walks in unannounced so no privacy.
Paula
Lovely setting. Hot tub a real bonus
Iain
Lovely clean and tidy site. Ideal base to explore Shropshire and North Wales. Shop didn't seem as well stocked as our previous stay here. Decent staff on hand during the day.
Elizabeth
Beautiful site. Ideal for a family break.

Fantastic few days away. Loved everything about it. Ive already booked to go again next year
Rob
Paradise! Really lovely place for a peaceful and quiet break with great helpful friendly staff. Really enjoyed the fishing too, and the breakfast in the cafe was spot on! Will be back for sure.
Jackie
Lovely lodge. Peaceful and dog friendly. Plenty space in lodge. Only small note would be better outdoor seating. We had bench and table. Chairs would hv been more convenient for enjoying the Lovely sunshine we had.
Tracey
Had a lovely 2 night stay, very tranquil and the lodges are beautiful with everything you need.
Zainul
Had a great time. Will defo go back at some point.
Claire
Beautiful park with very peaceful surroundings. It is a little disappointing that the cafe/bar doesn’t stay open in the evenings as it would have been really nice to stop by for a drink after dinner. The lodge was comfortable and exceptionally clean. The hot tub was wonderful. Overall an excellent break, we will definitely return.
