We had an amazing weekend here, really peaceful and perfect for our anniversary. Definitely recommend it!
Claire
Date of stay: 22nd April 2025
We had a lovely week here from 15 to 22 July with our two tiny dachshund girls, who really enjoyed themselves, especially making friends in the charming village of Thaxted. The cottage itself is quite pretty and the hot tub was a real treat - perfect since it was scorching weather and cooling the water made it super refreshing. The hosts were warm and welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out daily to the fields. Being near Stansteds flight path was interesting - I loved watching the planes land. Definitely recommend hiding here for a peaceful escape!

Date of stay: 17th April 2025
We really enjoyed our stay overall. The views from the lodge are stunning and the bedrooms are a good size. The living room was comfy, which was great after a day out. That said, some areas could use a bit of sprucing up - the en suite shower was temperamental and the outside decking and furniture could do with an upgrade. With a bit of TLC, itd be perfect!

We stayed over the weekend for my partners 40th and Mothers Day. The lodge was spotlessly clean and really well equipped. The scenery was breathtaking and the staff couldnt have been friendlier. Weve already booked to come back-thanks for an amazing break!

We loved the cosy cabin, especially the secure patio for our doggies. The beds were super comfy and the coffee machine was a lovely touch. Might need a bit more kitchen storage, but overall, great stay!

I dont think the lodge had been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival. Sweets and crumbs under the cushions on the settee. Fire on wall in lounge was thick of dust. Dishwasher wasnt clean on inside of door. No facilities on site except childrens play area.
Claire

We had a really lovely time staying here! Sharon and Robert were such warm hosts, making us feel right at home from the start. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and perfect for Archie with good security. The location was just right, with loads of nice walks nearby and Thaxted and the surrounding villages are definitely worth exploring. Honestly, we left feeling totally refreshed and relaxed - a proper little escape!
Emma

We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners were super friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which we appreciated. The big fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around safely. The cottage had everything we needed, including a lovely hot tub - such a treat! We even fired up the BBQ one evening. Definitely planning to come back and already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The place felt so warm and inviting, super clean too. The shower was really powerful and hot, which was a bonus after a day out. The kitchen had everything we needed and we appreciated the nice touch of a Prosecco welcome. Visiting Derwent Lake and Keswick was lovely, especially since its so dog-friendly-our dog had a great time! Were already planning to return, its a shame to leave behind such a lovely spot.

Date of stay: 18th February 2025
We booked a couple of nights in February at this lodge and honestly, it was a lovely experience. The spot is tucked away in a peaceful area with a beautiful view over the lake, which makes it perfect for escaping the hustle. The lodge itself was spotless and really well equipped - everything we needed was there. The highlight, though, had to be the decking area; such a great place to relax and soak in the scenery. The staff on reception were super friendly and even let us check in early since our lodge was ready, which was a nice surprise. When we checked out, the guy we spoke to (probably the site manager or owner) was really welcoming and asked about our stay, especially since we were only the third guests in that new lodge. Overall, we had a fantastic time and definitely want to come back!
James

Oliver

We had such a great weekend here! The place really ticked all the boxes for us and were already planning to come back. Our dogs had a blast-especially with the underfloor heating and playing outside in the garden. Luna wagged her tail so much she hurt it, but its all good according to the vet. Happy pups, happy us!

We stayed at this lovely lodge recently and it really felt like a home away from home. The view of the lake from the lounge is absolutely breathtaking and the place is super cosy. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious, with a bath and separate shower - love those big fluffy towels! Plus, its really pet-friendly, which was a big plus for us and our mini schnauzer.
Emma

We spent a week here in July with our two tiny dachshunds and they absolutely loved it! They made friends with other dogs in the village of Thaxted, which was lovely to see. The cottage itself is charming and the hot tub was a definite highlight - perfect for cooling down during the heatwave. The hosts were really friendly and welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields every day. Being near Stansteds flight path was interesting too - we enjoyed watching the planes land. Definitely a place wed come back to!

We stayed in this lovely place during a chilly December and it was so cosy and well kitted out. The bath was superb and the shower was a good size-really appreciated that after a long day. The locations perfect, especially for dogs that dislike fireworks, being tucked away from everything. The house is beautifully converted and peaceful. Honestly, we had a great time, thanks so much!
