Really comfortable and spacious

Lovely place to stay really comfy, robes and towels provided which was great for a weeks stay! Hot tub was perfect and was clean and tested regularly within that week. Storage limited but made it work and made more space for relaxing. Could have done with a dust pan got a brush but no dust in an again made it work. Upstairs was great space for my 3 boys but does get warm up there. Shower and bathroom area lovely an clean on arrival

Do not hire a lodge unclean and broken

Clean and, well equipped

I loved our stay at the black barn - the mezzanine bedroom added a really quirky feature which the kids enjoyed. We enjoyed several activities, and closeness to Shrewsbury which is great for a wander round.

We had such a wonderful, chill escape. The cottage was spotless, well-stocked with everything, plus some nice little touches. Highly recommend it!

The accommodation was excellent everything we needed plenty of space hidden bedroom was a great concept

Laurel lodge was a well kept and lovely area. We stayed in cantaloup which was one of the caravans in this area.In the middle of the area was a communal sauna which I didn't use.The caravan was comfortable and well kept. Only complaint was the lovely king size bed which had a very springy mattress, not giving us a very good night's sleep. The hot tub was checked daily and it was a great temperature, star gazing from the hot tub was amazing.There was a nice fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows and everything was well kept.

Really enjoyed the overall vibe, especially wandering through the fields with our dogs-such a lovely day!

We had such a lovely stay at this good place! The location is super private and beautiful, perfect for relaxing. The owners were really friendly and always there if we needed anything, but they respected our privacy completely. The hot tub was a real treat after long days out cycling. Only thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to 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 holiday at all. We’d definitely go back!

Great place for families; we really enjoyed the hot tub and sauna.

We really enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the activities, especially the kids’ club. We’re definitely thinking of coming back in summer! Would’ve loved to try archery though.

Loved our stay here.Activities for the children really good.Would like to return in summer months. Would have liked to try archery but wasn’t available.

We had a lovely stay overall. The lodge was really nice, though having to use the sofa bed was a bit of a pain. The hot tub was spotless and well looked after, with tests done twice daily - definitely a plus! The only downside was the lack of drying space for all the wet towels from the kids and hot tub, but we found a laundry room upstairs eventually. The staff at reception were fantastic, making our four-night break even better!

We spent a week here from 15th to 22nd July with our two little dachshunds and they absolutely loved it! They made some furry friends in the village of Thaxted, which was adorable to see. The cottage itself is lovely, especially the hot tub - perfect for the hot weather, as it was cooled down and super refreshing. The hosts were really friendly and welcoming; it was nice to see them taking their dogs out to the fields every day. Plus, watching the planes land near Stansted was quite interesting! We’d definitely recommend this place, it’s a gem.

Really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was super cosy, perfect for relaxing after days out. Kids loved the hot tub and marshmallows, which was a lovely touch. Great location too, easy to get around. Would definitely come back!

We had a fantastic weekend with the family! The facilities were spotless and well maintained. Staff were super friendly and always eager to help. The dog agility course was a hit and the kids loved it. Truly a great place for a relaxing break!

We absolutely loved this place! The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfy stay. The hot tub was such a treat after long walks nearby. Perfect spot for a quiet escape - honestly, we couldn’t recommend it enough! Definitely coming back.

Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really went above and beyond. Perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Highly recommend to everyone!

We had such a lovely time here! Sharon and Robert really go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable. It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. We’ll definitely be back again soon!

What a lovely find! The cottage, nestled on a working farm, offers plenty of privacy, which we really appreciated. Robert and Sharon, the hosts, are genuinely charming and friendly. The place itself is super spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that made our stay even better. The garden’s perfect for dogs and has nice furniture to relax on. Plenty of scenic walks nearby and some cracking restaurants in Thaxted-The Star and The Maypole are favourites of ours. We’d definitely recommend it!

The cottage was really cosy and perfect for a peaceful escape. Just a heads-up, you’ll hear planes mostly at night since it’s close to Stanstead. The hot tub, though, is fantastic!

Great service, would recommend!

Really enjoyed the stay, the lodge's design is quite impressive and luxurious.

Unique accommodation with a high end finishGreat few days spent in the Safari Lodge

Really enjoyed the stay

We had a fantastic weekend here! The place really ticked all the boxes for us and we’ll definitely return. Our dogs couldn’t get enough of the underfloor heating and the garden - Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it! Honestly, happy pups, happy us. Such a lovely spot, highly recommend for a cosy getaway!

We just got back from a four-night stay at this cottage and honestly, we loved it. The owners are really friendly but never intrusive, which was perfect. The garden is huge and fully fenced, so our dog could run around freely-such a relief! The place had everything we needed, including a BBQ one evening. The hot tub was fantastic! We’re already planning to come back and have told our friends about it. Thanks for a great stay!

Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back again.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect for us-peaceful and quiet, just what we needed. The hot tub was a lovely bonus. The owners were so friendly without being intrusive. They've got it spot on!
