Visitor Reviews of Haystax Holiday Lodges

Emma
Date of stay: 24th April 2025
We had a fantastic week here from 15 to 22 July with our two little dachshunds. They loved exploring the village of Thaxted and made plenty of furry friends. The cottage itself is really charming and the hot tub was such a treat-especially during the scorching weather! It was great to see the hosts being so welcoming and attentive; we enjoyed watching the planes land since it’s near Stansted’s flight path. Overall, a lovely stay and we’d definitely recommend Hide if you’re after a relaxing break with your pets.

Really enjoyed our visit, the setting was beautiful and walking with the dogs was perfect fun!

Date of stay: 21st April 2025
We had a lovely stay at this charming spot tucked away in a peaceful, private area. The owners were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but it still felt private enough to relax completely. The hot tub was a real highlight after long days out cycling. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the cottage is right under Stansted’s flight path, so there’s quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didn’t ruin our trip at all. We’d definitely come back!

Date of stay: 17th April 2025
We had a fantastic stay at this cosy little cottage! Honestly, we didn’t need to bring much because it’s so well equipped - I even overloaded the car thinking we’d need more. The welcome pack was a real bonus, full of helpful info and menus, which made things so easy. The owners, Sharon and Rob, were quick to respond whenever we had questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was just perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Thanks for a lovely break, we’d definitely come back!

We stayed in this lovely, well-kept house and honestly, it was perfect for a cosy winter break. The place was warm and inviting, especially on that rainy December day. The bath was just the right size and the shower was great too. Being near a flight path didn’t bother us at all and it’s a fantastic spot if your dogs hate fireworks - so peaceful! Thanks a lot!

We had a fantastic weekend at this cottage! The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and the bed was honestly the most comfy we’ve ever slept in away from home. The host was really friendly and gave us all the info we needed. Plus, feeding the alpacas and cattle was such a treat. Highly recommend!

Honestly, we left feeling totally recharged and relaxed. Would definitely recommend!

We just got back from a four-night stay at this cosy cottage and we had a really great time. The owners were super friendly and helpful, but they didn’t bother us at all, which was perfect. The garden was big and fully fenced, so our dog could roam freely without worries. The place had everything we needed, including a barbecue for one evening. And the hot tub? Absolutely brilliant! We’re already planning to come back and have recommended it to friends-thanks for a lovely stay!

We had a fantastic weekend stay here! The place was just what we needed and we really enjoyed our time. The garden was perfect for the dogs and they were so happy, especially with the underfloor heating-Luna even came home with a strained tail from all the wagging! Definitely planning to return soon. Truly a great spot for us and the pups!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage tucked away on a working farm, yet it felt so private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely people. The place is really spacious and the kitchen and bathroom are well equipped, making everything easy. The bed was super comfy, which is always a plus. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely secluded and furnished nicely. Plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted’s restaurants like The Star and The Maypole are worth a visit. We’d definitely recommend it!
