We had an absolutely lovely stay! The owners are genuinely warm and thoughtful, making us feel right at home. The cottage is charming, with its traditional half-timbered style and the shower is surprisingly powerful-much appreciated after a day of exploring. The bed was super comfy and the cosy kitchen and living space made it feel like a proper retreat. Plus, parking right next door was a real bonus. Perfect spot for walks to Thaxted and easy trips around the area. We’d definitely return!

We had such a relaxing stay at Willow Lodge. The peace and quiet were just what we needed and the RAF jets flying by gave it a bit of character! Lee was really helpful sorting out the hot tub quickly, which we appreciated. The place is perfect for two, spacious and comfy, though the sofa could use a bit of a refresh. Downham Market is lovely and worth a visit, especially the cheese shop. We’d definitely return!

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely owners and the jacuzzi was a definite highlight! Would recommend.

Looking forward to our next visit already!

Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The hosts were super friendly and really helpful. The accommodation was spot on and the location was just idyllic. We’re already planning our next visit - can’t wait!

We had such a lovely stay! The peaceful setting really made a difference and the lodge was fantastic, especially with the hot tub - perfect after a day out. The free hamper was a lovely touch. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and there’s plenty to explore nearby, like Downham Market, March and Ely. Cooper the dog adored it too!

Quite a lovely stay

Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge had everything we wanted.

The owners are genuinely lovely and went above and beyond during the storm when the power went out. The cottage was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and we really enjoyed the hot tub!

We had an amazing stay at the cottage! The location was spot on-so peaceful and perfect for unwinding. The views of the farm and horses were lovely and the owners were genuinely friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend it if you're after a quiet, relaxing getaway. We’ll be back for sure!

We spent a really relaxing week here, totally stress-free. The Willow lodge had such a lovely view and was spotless when we arrived. The hot tub was ready to go and the welcome pack with local goodies was a nice touch. Honestly, we’d definitely come back soon - highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

We stayed at this lovely cottage and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, though you should expect some night-time plane noise from Stansted.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was spotless and had all the essentials plus some lovely little touches. Would definitely recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The peaceful rural setting was lovely and the hot tub definitely made it special. Perfect spot for relaxing country walks and unwinding. Would recommend!

We had a really enjoyable stay at the Chamomile 1 lodge. The place is modern, cosy and had everything we needed for two couples and our dogs. We especially loved the little touches, like the complimentary basket full of bacon, eggs and sausages - such a nice surprise! If we had to suggest anything, a BBQ spot, a mop, more loo roll, some kitchen roll and plastic glasses for the hot tub would make it perfect. Overall, a lovely experience and we’d definitely come back!

We loved staying at this cosy cottage! It's perfectly tucked away for peace but still near shops and local spots. The hot tub and underfloor heating made it extra special. Rob & Sharon are lovely hosts and Bonnie’s a sweetheart. Can’t wait to return for longer soon!

We had a really lovely stay at this place. The location is so peaceful and private, perfect if you're after some proper quiet time. The site itself is quite small, only about six lodges, which made it feel cosy and exclusive. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a thoughtful welcome pack - a nice little touch that made us feel special. Our labrador was well looked after too, with a dog bed, towel, water bowl, poo bags and treats provided, which was great. The lodge was spotlessly clean, comfy and nicely decorated, with good WiFi for catching up. The patio was enclosed by a picket fence, so our dog could relax outside safely. The owners and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making everything easy. We’d definitely come back for some much-needed R&R, it’s a proper retreat!

We really enjoyed our visit, especially walking around the fields with the dogs-such a lovely experience!

We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and it was lovely. Rob and Sharon really put a lot of effort into restoring the historic building and their warm welcome made us feel right at home-Bonnie was a bonus too! The place has everything you need for a chill, comfy stay. The location’s perfect for exploring Essex, especially Thaxted and surrounding villages-definitely worth taking a wander to soak up the local history and charm. We'll be back!

Really enjoyed the stay, already booked for next October too!

Really impressed with how tidy and stylish the lodges are. Cheers!

We recently stayed at this lovely spot and really enjoyed the peaceful vibe. It’s such a calm place to unwind and the grounds are truly stunning. We didn’t see any staff around because of Covid rules, but we got a message on the day with all the info we needed, which was handy. The lodge itself was spacious and good value, though we wish we’d known to pack some things like toilet roll, dishwashing tablets and scissors - a bit of a let-down. There’s not much to do on-site, so most activities are a drive away, but overall, it’s a great place to relax with family or your partner.

The Lodge really impressed us; we’re already planning our return.

Great service, loved it

If it's peace and quiet your looking for then Lode hall lodges is the perfect break away. We loved it and so did our dog Buddy we were welcomed by a basket of goodies from bread, eggs bacon and much more. Our dog wasn't left out either he received a bag of treats his own dog bed, bowls blanket and towel it was such a lovely touch a great way to start a great holiday ?

Wonderful stay at Lode Hall Lodges, we stayed in Lavender 1. The accommodation was very clean and well presented, the staff where extremely kind and helpful. The location was perfect for us as we took everything we needed, for our break. The welcome pack was such a nice touch, with bread, meat and eggs provided as well as oil for cooking, thank you. Overall a lovely peaceful stay, We all left feeling relaxed and ready for the working week!

Nice clean mobile home. Very peaceful location.

Best lodge cabin we have been in amazing

Lodge was beautifully clean and well stocked. Welcome basket was a lovely touch. The hot tub area is nice and private. The gentleman was very helpful before we arrived. The country walk was nice, could have been a bit longer or others if possible. All round we fully enjoyed our stay and will be returning ?.

Lovely holiday home, very well kept, helpful staff and lovely little touches with basket of food and drink, bacon, eggs and sausages and bathrobes and slippers. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again soon.

If you are looking for peace, quiet and a relaxed place to stay this is it. It was great, would definitely recommend

Beautiful accommodation, friendly staff, and a new area for us to explore.

So so quite and so peaceful. If you want a chill out lodge in touch with nature this is the place to be. Only seven lodges wide apart form each other perfect ?

Was very clean and the welcoming pack was a lovely surprise. Very friendly owners and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely return the lodges are lovely and the views are stunning

Lovely setting, very well equipped and clean lodge. Only one thing missing is a garden parasol for the patio area to give some shade.

Me and my partner really enjoyed our time there. The accommodations were excellent and I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants a quiet time away

Stayed for a week , wished it was more. Really nice and well run site a real must for a peaceful and quiet break. Pretty central for a few locations to visit. Will return again to this place. A great arrival hamper is a great touch Many thanks
