As said before, the caravan needs a lot of TLC. Radiators need a lick of paint as all rusty, seltaped remote. Stain on sheets, missing knives. Lots of wear and tear to the actual caravan which make it such a shame.

Caravan was a good size and had excellent facilities and all the cooking equipment we could need (except a bread knife). The kitchen was also very clean.Unfortunately however other areas of the accommodation werent overly clean, with dirty edges on the bathroom floor, the living space carpet had an unpleasant odour and the sofa cushions were stained.

We found the caravan spotless and smelling fresh, even with four adults inside. Plenty of space for everyone and the hot tub was well taken care of, with the maintenance guy checking it almost daily. Really impressed!

We had such a lovely weekend here! The place had everything we needed and more. Our dogs absolutely adored the underfloor heating and playing outside in the garden. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, but she was clearly having a blast! Were definitely coming back - its a win for both us and the pups!

We spent a fantastic week here with our two little dachshunds and they had a great time making friends in Thaxted. The cottage itself is charming and the hot tub was definitely a highlight-especially during the scorching days when the cooled water felt so refreshing. The hosts were lovely and really welcoming; it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields every day. Being close to the Stansted flight path was interesting to watch the planes land. Overall, wed happily recommend for a relaxing getaway. Will be back!

We enjoyed our holiday very much, our van was clean & of a good standard, the park is very clean, not very large but the sister site is close by for swimming & entertainment. There are a couple of dog friendly pubs which do good food nearby. This site is quiet & just outside the entrance is forest which is great for dog walking which our dog loved. We would definitely return to this site to see more of Hampshire.
