We had a fantastic weekend here, exactly what we needed. The place was comfortable and really well thought out. Our dogs had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating-such a treat for them! The garden kept them busy and Luna was wagging her tail nonstop. She even came back with a strained tail, but totally worth it. Definitely coming back!

We recently stayed in the Hawthorn Lodge 8 and honestly, it’s a lovely place-really well-kept, spacious and the decor is nice. The hot tub was a real highlight, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Karen, the host, was super helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. That said, there are a few things to be aware of. The site itself is quite small, with no dedicated grounds or walking areas, which was a bit of a bummer. The restaurant and bar were closed during our stay, so we couldn’t grab a drink or bite there. Also, the swimming pool and spa are only for over 16s, so no kids allowed. The location isn’t ideal either-it's by a busy road, no pavement and the road speeds well over 30mph, so walking isn’t very safe. Plus, the site was quite noisy because of ongoing building works and there’s no on-site shop or nearby amenities. Parking’s a short walk from the lodge, which is manageable in good weather, but not perfect in the rain. Still, overall it was a nice stay despite these little hiccups!

We stayed at this place during a rainy December and it was just what we needed-super cosy and warm. The house is really well kitted out and the bath was fantastic, plus a good-sized shower too! The location is perfect for our dog who’s not a fan of fireworks, as it’s quite remote, which was a huge plus. No noise issues from the nearby flight path either. Thanks a lot, we loved it!

We had a fantastic stay! The place was super peaceful, perfect for unwinding and great for our dogs.

The location is spot on with plenty nearby to explore and the park itself is nicely situated. Would be great to have more electric charging points, though and cheaper EV charging options too!

Lots to do around the area and a well sited park. More electric charging needed and a cheaper provider of electric for e/vs would be adviseable

Great stay, very comfortable and spotless.

Really enjoyed our stay, would recommend.

We had such a lovely stay at Rookery Manor Lodges. The place is really spacious and had everything we needed. It was spotless when we arrived and the staff we met were so friendly and professional. Communication from booking to checkout was spot on. Definitely a place we’d return to, no doubt!

From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much effort had gone into making everything perfect. The hosts were genuinely lovely and super helpful. Honestly, it was a wonderful stay in such a beautiful place. We’ll be back for sure!

The lodge was super tidy and nicely decorated, really comfortable too. The mattresses leaned a bit soft for my taste, but others might love it.

We really enjoyed our stay! The site itself isn’t much in terms of activities, but it’s perfect for a quick escape from the hustle. Having Brean, Weston and Burnham all within half an hour was handy for days out. Plenty of pubs nearby for food and we even got Chinese and Indian deliveries straight to the lodge - that was a bonus! Our lodge had everything we needed and worked perfectly. We’ve stayed in both the lodges and the bungalows, but honestly, the lodge is our favourite. We’ll definitely be returning!

We had a lovely stay at this good place. The setting is so peaceful and private, perfect for a relaxing break. The hosts were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, without intruding on our privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day cycling around. Just a heads up, the cottage sits right under Stansted’s flight path, so aircraft noise is unavoidable. It didn’t bother us much after a while, but if you're sensitive to noise, it’s worth considering. Overall, a really enjoyable experience!

Really enjoyed our time here! Everything was spotless and the hot tub was definitely a highlight.

We had a really relaxing stay here. The place is super peaceful and well stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was a definite highlight! Lovely hosts too. Perfect for anyone wanting some quiet time away. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Goddard Mead was fantastic! The cottage had everything we needed and the walks right outside were perfect. The owners made us feel really welcome, which made our trip even better.

We had such a lovely stay! The cottage’s cosy log burner and hot tub made it really special. Hosts were friendly, peaceful surroundings. Hope to come back soon!

The lodge was fantastic, just three weeks old, so everything felt fresh. A couple of minor issues came up, but it didn’t ruin our stay at all.

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners were super friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The place itself is beautifully kept, warm and spotless - the shower was especially good! We loved the cosy kitchen and comfy bed, perfect for relaxing after exploring the nearby walks and the village of Thaxted. Parking right next to the property was a real bonus too. Would definitely recommend!

We loved the peaceful vibe and spotless space. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. The hot tub was a real treat, perfect for unwinding!

Really enjoyed the stay, the place had everything needed.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The lodge felt so cosy and well-equipped, it made for a great holiday! Definitely recommend.

We loved the cosy lodge, felt just like home. It’s in a quiet spot, so not much happening if you’ve got kids, but perfect for relaxing.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Sharon and Robert pay so much attention to detail, making everything super comfy. It’s a lovely spot for a peaceful escape. We’ll definitely be back again soon!

Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really went the extra mile, making everything perfect. Will definitely tell friends about this.

Really enjoyed our stay here! Ideal for a peaceful escape with lots nearby to explore easily.

We had a lovely stay here! The owners are super friendly and really helpful, especially when the storm knocked out the power. The place was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was a real treat!

We stayed at this cosy cottage recently and honestly, it had everything we needed. The owners, Sharon and Rob, really thought of everything - the welcome pack was full of handy info and menus, which was great. We didn’t have to pack much at all! The enclosed garden was perfect for the dogs and they loved it. The hot tub was a real treat after busy days. We appreciated the little extras for our pups and ourselves. Communication was super quick too. Definitely a lovely spot for a relaxing break!

We had such a lovely stay at the lodge! The setting was stunning and everything was really clean, with plenty of space to relax. The hot tub was definitely a highlight - so relaxing! Only minor issues were the sofa placement for TV viewing and the mattress wasn’t the comfiest, but we’d still recommend it for sure!

We spent a week here with our two tiny dachshunds and honestly, it was a lovely stay. The village of Thaxted is charming and friendly and our dogs loved making new friends. The cottage itself is really cosy and the hot tub was a definite highlight-perfect after those hot summer days, especially since it cooled the water just right. The hosts were super welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken to the fields each day. Yes, it’s near Stansted’s flight path, but honestly, watching the planes land added to the charm. We’d definitely come back!

Had a lovely few days at Rookery Manor lodges. The lodge was finished to a high standard and the hot tub was great. The site was very quiet with no facilities so may not suit families with young children.

Lovely 5 day break away. Beautiful Location. Very Quiet, Even with the M5 being Nearby.

Great place

We loved our stay at Rookery Manor, just the perfect getaway for our 1st doggy family holiday, loads of great sight seeing of the picturesque villages near by, and only a drive away from amenities. And Karen on arrival was very very helpful and lovely. The lodge its self was wonderfully spacious and of a very high specification, also the decking area and area to the side of the lodge was all enclosed so very safe to let Archie our boxer dog run and play around. And the hot tub was an added bonus, we will definitely be coming back. So overall very highly recommended xx

Near to Weston super mare, easy to find, very high quality lodge's with everything you need, smart TV with Netflix and prime video not just Freeview. Seating area at the front with a hot tub if you want it. Mi

Lovely lodge great surroundings. Lodge really spacious & clean with all that you need. Lovely area for dogs. Brand new holiday park so decking at front of lodge not very private but will be lovely once plants are established. The hotel is closed but the spa is open. Lovely Indian restaurant not far away. When using Sat Nav mine kept trying to use the M5 as it’s close to the holiday park use the A370 for most journeys. Would recommend this holiday park.

First time visiting this relatively new site, the hotel and restaurant are not there now, although still advertised on google. There is a spa which we did not use. The lodges are set in beautiful surroundings, but the sound of the M5 close by could be annoying for some, but it did not bother me at all. Karen was very helpful and was always available and just a phone call away.

Perfect! Absolutely perfect! 10/10

enjoyed our stay in the lodge. Very well equipped with high end tv's in bedrooms. One small niggle though. A coffee machine was available, but as a trio of tea drinkers we would have appreciated a teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl!!

We had a great mini break and couldn’t have asked for better weather for our stay. The accommodation was perfect our only slight complaint would be the matteresses they weren’t very comfortable and you could feel the springs. Even though the site is under renovation you wouldn’t know it. It will be a lovely park once it’s finished and I and miss family would visit again for sure.

Plum lodge was an amazing location for a midweek break. Ideally located for all the sights we wanted to see. We loved the hot tub but just a small suggestion: as it is at the front of the lodge by the small parking area it might be nicer to have the smoked glass panels on the veranda going completely around the hot tub as it did on the neighbouring lodge. Just provides a bit more privacy from cars entering the car park then the correct picket style panels. Other then that we loved it and looking to book again for next year.

Wow, everything about the lodge was luxurious. It included absolutely everything needed during our stay. We loved everything about the lodge and the hot tub. With such beautiful surroundings, it was a shame that there wasn't any family friendly walks. As the only way to exit is on a country lane without any pavements, we didn't feel we could walk with young children. We all had such an amazing stay and couldn't fault anything about the lodge and will definitely be booking to stay here again.

Lovely and clean! Close to beaches. Loved fresh milk shop in the way in. And hot tube is as great

It was a lovely spot for a very relaxed weekend. No where was too far away and we had the added bonus of takeaway deliveries. The lodge had everything you could need and the hot tub was bliss.
