We stayed here for a week in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, the place was lovely. The cottage itself is charming and having a hot tub was such a treat-especially during those scorching days when the water stayed refreshingly cool. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. It was also nice to see their horses being taken out daily; quite a lovely sight. Being close to Stansted’s flight path was actually pretty interesting, watching the planes land. We’d definitely recommend this spot!

Samuel
Date of stay: 28th July 2024
We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish, which made us feel really welcome. The place itself is beautifully maintained, super cosy and spotlessly clean. The shower was powerful and the bed was really comfy - we slept like logs! Parking right next to the cottage was a real bonus and the nearby walks to Thaxted are simply stunning. Definitely recommended!
Claire, Herts

Date of stay: 24th July 2024
We recently spent four nights at this cosy cottage and had a really good time. The owners were super friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which we appreciated. The fenced garden was perfect for our dog to roam freely and the place was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. The hot tub was fantastic and we even enjoyed a BBQ one evening. We’d definitely come back and already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Emma, Bicester
Date of stay: 21st July 2024
We had a fantastic stay, especially given the circumstances of COVID-19. The cleanliness was impressive and the attention to detail really made our visit special. Would definitely recommend!

The place was lovely, super clean and really comfortable. We had such a great time, hot tub was fantastic!
Alex, Basildon
Date of stay: 3rd May 2024
Honestly, we were really impressed with how spotless everything was when we arrived. The cleaning crew clearly do a fantastic job, especially considering they have to tidy up multiple caravans - they’re pretty impressive! The beds, well, they’re not quite like at home, but three of us slept like logs, which says a lot. The fourth person, being tall, found the sofa bed much more comfy. By the end of the week, we did start missing a proper sofa with better support, but that’s a small gripe. The fridge was massive and totally empty when we arrived, so plenty of room for all our stuff. Pots, pans, glasses - all super clean and the glasses looked br and new. The ensuite toilet in the bedroom was a game changer and the shower was surprisingly powerful for a caravan. Overall, really comfortable and clean stay - we’d definitely come back!
James
Date of stay: 28th April 2024
We loved the cottage! It was perfectly tucked away yet still close to everything we needed. The hot tub was fantastic after a day out and the underfloor heating kept us super cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel right at home. Can’t wait to return soon!
Emma

We had a fantastic time! The place was thoughtfully prepared and the hosts were genuinely warm and helpful. Everything about our stay felt special. Can’t wait to come back! Definitely a trip to remember!

We had a lovely time here and our dog loved it too! The staff were really friendly and helpful. A bigger bar and dining area would be nice, but overall, a solid 10/10 experience. Definitely coming back!

Really enjoyed our stay, great experience.
Emma, Sawbridgeworth
Date of stay: 13th January 2024
Overall, we had a pretty good stay. The beds were really comfy, which was a big plus and we loved the outdoor space-perfect for relaxing. The heating kept us cosy during the chilly days! A few small things, like more hooks and shelves in the shower, would’ve been handy and keeping the dining area tidy was tricky because of the carpet. Still, we enjoyed our time!
Rachel, Ipswich
Date of stay: 27th December 2023
The caravan was super clean and ready before we even expected it to be. Loved it!
Emma
Date of stay: 20th November 2023
We had a great stay at this cosy cottage! The place is spotless and super well stocked, making it really comfortable. Loved the fact that there are so many dog-friendly walks right outside the door. The host was lovely and easy to communicate with. Meeting the farm animals and Penelope the pig was a real highlight. We’ll definitely return!
James
Date of stay: 3rd November 2023
Honestly, we’re really impressed. The caravan feels so cosy and well-decorated and it’s super affordable too. Definitely worth every penny, no doubt about it!

Karin
Lovely park with great staff. Nice to have direct access to the beach too.
Rachel
Fantastic stay and back again this weekend! Great for kids dogs and adults x
Sarah
Beautiful, meticulously clean caravans. Really spacious too (we had 2 x 3 bed caravans). The site is really quiet, right on the seafront, and all other caravan users were really friendly. Great seafood stall on site - delicious! Highly recommend.
Lucy
We had a great holiday here, it was the perfect sized park. The facilities were easy to access and it was great to be by the beach and have access to a pool. There’s a great kids park near by. The staff were lovely and the caravan just right. Thank you so much.
Kelly
Lovely holiday park, not too big. Pool and private beach access as well as play park on site. Small clubhouse and shop also, would have been nice to have a choice of takeaway available but the town is only a short drive away. Overall a nice place for a short break.
Adela
Really happy with my jubilee weekend. The caravan was lovely and clean. The area was nice but the weather wasn't great. A nice kiddie play area was available but it would have been great to have one onsite. Luckily our kids were able to swim otherwise no swimming slots available for an adult. Overall a happy customer.
Katrina
Didn't need much help as everything ran quite smoothly once we arrived. But they nicely allowed us to leave our bags in the garage until our cab came. Which was really nice of them. Would definitely come back and would definitely bring friends back with me. Thanks for a lovely break away.
Lesley
Very peaceful get for dogs loved my weekend will definitely be going back
