James
Date of stay: 8th April 2025
We had a lovely stay at this cottage, nestled on a working farm but still very private. Robert and Sharon are such friendly hosts, making us feel really welcome. The place is surprisingly spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave. The garden is perfect for dogs and nicely secluded, with plenty of walks nearby. Thaxteds restaurants, especially The Star and The Maypole, were great. Overall, wed definitely recommend it!
Oliver
Date of stay: 3rd April 2025
We needed a proper dog walking escape and this place delivered. Lovely countryside with plenty of off-road trails, great pubs nearby and top-notch accommodation. The dog was loving it, didnt want to leave at all!
Laura

Jamie
Date of stay: 24th March 2025
We had such a lovely stay at this place! The setting is really beautiful and super private, which we loved. The owners are genuinely friendly and always happy to help if needed, but they respect your space. The hot tub was a real highlight after cycling all day. Only thing to note is that the cottage is right under the flight path at Stansted, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, just keep that in mind. Overall, a great spot!
Emma

Oliver Smith

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners were so friendly and accommodating, really making us feel welcome. The place itself is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean and warm enough even on cooler days. The shower is excellent and the cosy kitchen and living space made relaxing after long walks. Parking right outside was a real bonus. Perfect spot for exploring Thaxted and its pretty countryside. Definitely recommend!

Harper
Date of stay: 4th March 2025
We had a fantastic time at Ashlea Pools! The lodges are super cosy and really well equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The hot tubs are always spotless and relaxing after a day out. The site itself is beautifully maintained, with a lovely little cafe that turns into a pizzeria four nights a week, which was a nice touch. The staff are friendly and always quick to help with anything. Weve been twice and cant wait to go back again!
Georgia
Date of stay: 26th February 2025

Emma
Date of stay: 23rd February 2025
We just got back from a four-night stay at this cosy cottage and honestly, we had a great time. The owners were really friendly but not overbearing, which was perfect. The fenced garden was a big plus for our dog and the place had everything we needed - fully equipped and comfortable. We even enjoyed a BBQ one evening and the hot tub was fantastic! Were already telling friends to check it out. Thanks for a lovely break!
Emma

Emily
Date of stay: 16th February 2025
We had a lovely week at this cosy cottage with our two mini dachshunds, who really enjoyed exploring the village of Thaxted and making new friends. The place itself is charming and the hot tub was a real treat, especially during the scorching weather - it was cooled down just right! The hosts were super welcoming and friendly, which made us feel right at home. It was also nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Yes, you are near Stansteds flight path, but we enjoyed watching the planes land. Definitely recommend!
Emily
Date of stay: 15th February 2025
We had a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage! It really is everything you could need, so no need to bring anything extra. We ended up overloading the car because the place is so well equipped. The welcome pack was a nice touch, with all the info and menus clearly thought out. The owners, Sharon and Rob, were quick to reply if we had questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was just perfect. Thanks for a great break, well be back!
