We had a lovely time staying in the Appledore chalet. Everything was super clean and the bed was so comfy, we slept really well. The kitchen had all the essentials for cooking up meals and everyone we met was really friendly. The only downside was the TV; it pixelated quite a bit, which was a bit annoying sometimes. Still, overall a great holiday!

We spent a lovely week here with our two small dogs and they really loved exploring the village of Thaxted and making new furry friends. The cottage itself is charming and the hot tub was a definite highlight, especially during those scorching summer days-it was so nice to dip into cool water! The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. Watching the planes land near Stansted was surprisingly enjoyable, adding a bit of entertainment to our evenings. Overall, wed definitely recommend for a relaxed getaway!

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy spot nestled in a really peaceful, private setting. The owners were super friendly and always available if we needed anything, but still maintained that lovely sense of seclusion. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling - perfect! One thing to keep in mind is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip at all. Would definitely recommend!

We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon really put a lot of effort into restoring this historic building and it shows. They gave us a warm welcome and Bonnie was adorable. The place has everything you need for a relaxing break. The location is perfect - right in Essexs charm-filled countryside. We also enjoyed wandering around Thaxted and nearby villages, soaking up the history and stunning architecture. Would definitely recommend!

We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage! Its really well equipped, so we didnt need to bring anything and we actually overpacked because everything was provided. The welcome pack was super helpful, full of useful info and menus, which made settling in so easy. The little touches for our dogs and us were much appreciated. The enclosed garden was perfect for the pups and the hot tub was just the right touch after a long day. Sharon and RobeRead were quick to respond too. Great break altogether!

We just got back from a great four-night stay at this cosy cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful without being pushy, which we really appreciated. The big fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around freely. Inside, everything was well-stocked and comfortable and we loved using the BBQ one evening. The hot tub was fantastic! Were already planning to come back and have told our friends about it. Thanks for a lovely break!

We had a lovely stay at this good place! The location is super peaceful and private, yet the owners are really welcoming and nearby if you need anything. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling - perfect for relaxing. Just a heads up, the cottage is right under Stansted's flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us after a while, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth mentioning. Overall, a great place to unwind!

We spent a week here in July with our two small dogs and honestly, it was a lovely break. The village of Thaxted is charming and our pups made plenty of new friends while we explored. The cottage itself is quite cosy and the hot tub was a real highlight, especially during the really hot days when the cool water was just perfect. The hosts were genuinely friendly and made us feel welcome, even taking their dogs out to the fields daily. Watching the planes land near Stansted was quite fun too. Definitely a place wed return to!
