We recently stayed at Ladera House and honestly, it felt like a home away from home. The place is spacious, cosy and just really comfortable. Sharon greeted us warmly when we arrived and showed us around - she’s lovely. The views are stunning, with horses and sheep grazing just behind the house, which added to the peaceful vibe. We slept really well and the bedrooms are super nice. We did have a small issue with the plumbing, but once we mentioned it, the manager was quick to apologise and promised to get it sorted. We’d definitely come back!

We had a lovely time staying here! Sharon and Robert really made us feel at home, which was much appreciated. The place had everything we needed-spotlessly clean, comfy and safe for our dog Archie. The location was perfect, with loads of walks nearby and charming villages like Thaxted to explore. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed after a week here. Would happily recommend it!

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy cottage! It’s tucked away on a working farm, so it feels really private, yet it’s easy to get around. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely and welcoming. The place is super spacious, with well-equipped kitchen and bathroom and the bed was incredibly comfy. The garden was perfect for our dog-completely enclosed and with nice furniture. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted’s restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. We’d definitely recommend it!

We stayed at this place recently and honestly, it was pretty lovely overall. The view from the cabin was stunning and the hot tub was definitely a highlight - really relaxing after a long day. The place had a cosy charm that suited us perfectly. However, a few things did bug us a bit. The toiletries weren’t the luxury ones advertised, which was a bit disappointing. Also, the Wi-Fi promised was nowhere to be found, so we had to go without internet during our stay. The dishwasher was a bit of a pain - the wood panel kept popping off, which got annoying. The freezer drawers were a struggle to open, probably due to needing a defrost. We also noticed some dirt on the dressing gowns and holes in the bedding stitching, which wasn’t ideal. Plus, there was a jigsaw blade left outside, which could’ve been dangerous. Still, we had a good time despite these little issues!

We had a fantastic weekend here! Everything we hoped for and more. The garden was perfect for our dogs and they especially loved the underfloor heating - Luna couldn’t stop wagging her tail! Honestly, she came home with a strained tail, but it’s just proof how much fun she had. We’re already planning our next visit!

We stayed at this charming cottage recently and honestly, it has everything you could possibly need. We didn’t have to pack much because the place is so well equipped - I even overloaded the car! The welcome pack was a lovely touch, with handy info about the cottage and local menus. The hosts, Sharon and Rob, are super responsive if you have any questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was just perfect for unwinding. Thanks for a lovely getaway, we’ll definitely be back!

We stayed in Lodge No 4 which was immaculate, clean and very well laid out. Housekeeping met us on arrival and went through the property to ensure we were happy with everything. Hot tub was amazing. All in all a very relaxing retreat away from it all. Would definitely return.
Rachel
A lovely lodge. Lovely and private and lovely hot tub but I'm not sure it got cleaned during the stay. Very quiet and friendly people around. Idyllic surrounds nice grounds / lakes /animals. The lodge itself was so lovely. Lovely furnishing spacious and modern. Robes which was an added bonus. Clean and everything you would need in the lodge itself. The TV sometimes lost signal but we normally find that happens anywhere we stay. Overall a lovely break and would stay again. Less than an hour away from Manchester and other nice places to visit.
Natalie
Amazing lodges with a friendly greeting. Lovely place for them to be situated. Only a few mins drive from supermarkets and a lovely town. We had the most peaceful weekend we have ever had there! All round worth the money. The only down side was we was told we would still be able to use the hot tub on the Monday as paid extra to check out late (1pm) and we couldn’t as it was emptied and filled with water above temp for people to use it. Saying that I addressed that and was promised if we returned we would be looked after and this wouldn’t happen again. We will definitely be returning in the future :)
Alison
Excellent location and facilities. Just perfect for our family weekend- very luxurious

we stayed at the ladera house 14-18th March and we just wanted to say how amazing our break was. The house is absolutely gorgeous and it was equipped with everything we needed ? we had a big age differed youngest 11 months - oldest 75 but every person was so pleased it’s so idyllic. Also all the ground staff where Amazing and even the residents were really friendly. Thankyou again hopefully we will be back soon ? xx
