Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The seating was a bit low and tricky to get up from, especially for us, but thats probably our fault. A better mattress and some hooks in the bathroom would be great, but no complaints really. Lovely break!

We had a lovely stay at this cottage! The owners are genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help us. The place is super charming, with a beautiful half-timbered look and a really good shower. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made it feel like a home away from home. Parking right outside was a big plus and the whole place was spotlessly clean. Great for walks too and easy to get to Thaxted and its lovely windmill. Definitely recommend!

We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which we appreciated. The garden is big, fenced and perfect for our dog to run around freely. The place had everything we needed in the kitchen and we even enjoyed a barbecue one evening. The hot tub was fantastic! Were already planning to come back and have told friends about it. Thanks for a lovely break!

The caravan feels quite old-fashioned and could use some proper sprucing up. The outside area is messy and those planters definitely need some attention. Not the best experience.
James

We loved the cottage! Perfectly tucked away for peace but still near shops and local spots. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept everything nice and warm. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Can't wait to return for a longer stay!

We spent a week here in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, they loved every minute! The village of Thaxted is charming and friendly, perfect for dog walks and exploring. The cottage itself is really lovely - the hot tub was definitely a highlight, especially with the weather being so hot; it cooled the water just enough to be super refreshing. The hosts were warm and welcoming and it was lovely to see their dogs out and about too. Being close to Stansteds flight path didnt bother us at all; watching the planes was quite interesting. Wed definitely come back!

Spent a lovely few days away here at this park.It was very quiet but that was probably because of the time of the year.The club and restaurant was only open at the weekend and we were only there Monday to Friday so we missed out on this.I would certainly go back again.
