Nice lodge overall, but a bit more storage would make it perfect.

Really disappointed, the lodge was way too small for six.

We had a lovely time staying in the Star Gazer! The swing chair was definitely our favourite spot to relax. A little privacy for the hot tub would’ve been nice though, as it’s pretty open. Also, the steps are a bit dodgy - could do with some fixing. Oh and fairy lights outside would really add a cosy touch. Overall, we’d happily return - the staff were really lovely too!

We had a lovely time at Lakewood Lodge. The place was spotless and really spacious, with lots to explore nearby. Definitely a peaceful and welcoming spot for a break!

We loved this cosy cottage! The hot tub and log burner made it extra special. Hosts were lovely and it’s so peaceful here. Hope to come back soon!

We stayed at this lovely place during a rainy December and it was perfect. The house is super well equipped and really cosy, which was much appreciated. The bath was fantastic and the shower was a nice size. The location is peaceful, great for dogs who dislike fireworks and the fact that it’s on a flight path didn’t bother us at all. Would definitely recommend!

We had an awesome weekend here! The place ticked all our boxes and we genuinely loved it. The dogs were totally spoiled - especially with the underfloor heating, which they adored. The garden was perfect for them to play in. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, but she’s fine now. We’ll definitely be back!

We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon really put a lot of care into transforming this historic building and it shows. They gave us such a warm welcome, along with Bonnie, which made us feel right at home. The place is perfect for relaxing, with everything you need. The location is ideal too - exploring Thaxted and nearby villages is a must, so much history and charm around here!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming spot! The setting is truly peaceful and quite private, perfect for relaxing. The owners were super friendly and always ready to help if needed, but they didn't intrude on our privacy at all. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling - absolute bliss! One thing to note, though, is that the cottage is directly beneath Stansted's flight path, so there's quite a bit of noise from planes. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didn’t ruin our holiday at all. Definitely recommend!

The cottage was a real find, tucked away on a working farm but surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon were lovely hosts, making us feel welcome from the start. The place itself is spacious and well equipped, especially the kitchen and bathroom - no complaints there! The bed was super comfy, which was much appreciated after long walks. The garden's perfect for dogs and totally secluded with nice furniture. We explored loads of nearby trails and loved having options for meals in Thaxted - The Star and The Maypole are great spots. Honestly, we’d definitely recommend it!

Little touches for both us and the pups made the stay even better. Thanks for a lovely break!

We had a fantastic weekend here, exactly what we were after. The place was perfect and we’re already planning to return! The pups were over the moon with the underfloor heating and the garden kept them busy for ages. Luna even came back with a strained tail, but the vet said it’s just from wagging so much! Everyone was really happy.

The cottage itself is cosy with a really nice hot tub, which was perfect given the scorching weather-cooler water felt so good. The hosts were super friendly and it was nice to see them taking their dogs out to the fields each day. Being close to Stansted’s flight path was pretty interesting too, watching the planes land. We’d definitely come back!
