We had a really lovely stay! Sharon and Robert were such welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home from the start. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and perfect for our dog Archie - he loved it too! The location was just right, with loads of nice walks nearby and charming villages like Thaxted to explore. Honestly, we left feeling totally recharged. It was a much-needed relaxing break!

We stayed at this lovely cottage and loved how peaceful it was, away from the busy crowds. The hot tub was a real treat and the owners were just right-friendly but not overbearing. Perfect spot for us!

We stayed at this place during a rainy December and it was just perfect for us. The house is super well equipped and it was lovely and warm, which was a relief. The bath was definitely a highlight, along with the big shower. The location’s great for dogs, especially those scared of fireworks, since it’s pretty remote. Honestly, we’d come back again! Thanks so much!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is stunning and incredibly private, perfect for relaxing away from the hustle. The owners are genuinely friendly and always ready to help without intruding. The hot tub was a real highlight after a day out cycling-it really made our trip special. One 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 didn’t bother us much once we got used to it, but it might be a concern if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, a fantastic place!

We just got back from a four-night stay at this cosy cottage and honestly, it was lovely. The owners are really friendly but not intrusive, which we appreciated. The fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around safely. The place had everything we needed, including a great BBQ and an amazing hot tub! We’re already planning to come back and have told our friends about it too. Thanks for a wonderful holiday!

We loved this charming little cottage! It’s tucked away just enough for peace but still near everything we needed. The hot tub was fantastic and the underfloor heating kept us cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Can’t wait to return for a longer stay!

We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage! It’s surprisingly well equipped, so we didn’t need to bring much at all. The welcome pack was really handy, packed with all the info about the place and local menus - clearly thought out. The owners, Sharon and Rob, were super quick to respond if we had questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was just what we needed after a day out. Thanks for a fantastic break - we’ll definitely be back!

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The place was spotless and well kept, with a cosy vibe that instantly relaxed us. The bathroom had a powerful shower, which was a real treat after a day exploring the local walks. Parking was convenient right outside and the location is perfect for exploring Thaxted’s beautiful half-timbered houses and windmill. Definitely recommended!

We had a lovely stay at this cottage tucked away on a working farm, yet it feels really private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are such charming people, making us feel welcome. The place itself is surprisingly spacious, with well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The bed was super comfy and the garden’s perfect for dogs-fully enclosed with nice furniture. Plenty of walks nearby and we enjoyed dining out in Thaxted; The Star and The Maypole are definitely worth a visit. We’d happily come back!

Really lovely caravan better than expected,our only criticism is for a 5 star site no welcome pack. That would have made it excellent, we loved it anyway just a small thing but they make a big difference.
Derek
After yet another great holiday, happy to give Waterside the thumbs up.
We have returned to this facility time and time again, as we always feel we have a good time.
True to say, there were no surprises, just a great place to holiday and always everything was to our liking.
Beverley
Beautiful location, immaculately clean on site, you can tell it’s got a 5 star rating

We’ve just come back from a week at Waterside and we were sad to leave. Would definitely recommend staying here. The site was very clean, the facilities were great, the staff were friendly and helpful and the location was good. We loved the pools and the evening entertainment. We hired kayaks and paddle boards from the site, it was so much fun. We’ve already booked to go back, can’t wait !!
