Blaithwaite Country House Estate

Excellent lodge, all things available

We had a lovely time at this peaceful spot. Sharon and Robert really go above and beyond to ensure everything is just right. Even though its our second visit, were already planning to come back again soon!

The cottage was a real find, tucked away on a working farm but surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon were lovely hosts, making us feel welcome from the start. The place itself is spacious and well equipped, especially the kitchen and bathroom - no complaints there! The bed was super comfy, which was much appreciated after long walks. The garden's perfect for dogs and totally secluded with nice furniture. We explored loads of nearby trails and loved having options for meals in Thaxted - The Star and The Maypole are great spots. Honestly, wed definitely recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The place is so peaceful and perfect for our doggies.

We had an amazing time at Goddards Mead! The cottage exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Can't wait to return!

We needed a break with the dog and honestly, it was just what we hoped for. The place was lovely and the location meant plenty of walks and good local pubs nearby. We didn't want to leave!

We had a fantastic weekend here, exactly what we were after. The place was perfect and were already planning to return! The pups were over the moon with the underfloor heating and the garden kept them busy for ages. Luna even came back with a strained tail, but the vet said its just from wagging so much! Everyone was really happy.

Really enjoyed our weekend here, its perfect for a peaceful anniversary getaway. Would definitely come back!

Nice lodge overall, but a bit more storage would make it perfect.

All lovely lodge just maybe a little more storage would be helpful

We really enjoyed our stay here! The rural setting was so peaceful and scenic. The hot tub was a lovely touch and the courtyard was perfect for relaxing evenings. Great for walks too!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming spot! The setting is truly peaceful and quite private, perfect for relaxing. The owners were super friendly and always ready to help if needed, but they didn't intrude on our privacy at all. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling - absolute bliss! One thing to note, though, is that the cottage is directly beneath Stansted's flight path, so there's quite a bit of noise from planes. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Definitely recommend!

We spent a week here in July with our two miniature dachshunds and honestly, it was lovely. The village of Thaxted is charming and our dogs made plenty of new friends. The cottage itself is cosy with a really nice hot tub, which was perfect given the scorching weather-cooler water felt so good. The hosts were super friendly and it was nice to see them taking their dogs out to the fields each day. Being close to Stansteds flight path was pretty interesting too, watching the planes land. Wed definitely come back!

We had a lovely time staying in the Star Gazer! The swing chair was definitely our favourite spot to relax. A little privacy for the hot tub wouldve been nice though, as its pretty open. Also, the steps are a bit dodgy - could do with some fixing. Oh and fairy lights outside would really add a cosy touch. Overall, wed happily return - the staff were really lovely too!

We had a lovely time at Lakewood Lodge. The place was spotless and really spacious, with lots to explore nearby. Definitely a peaceful and welcoming spot for a break!

Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really put thought into everything. Extremely relaxing experience. Will definitely tell our friends.

We stayed at this lovely place during a rainy December and it was perfect. The house is super well equipped and really cosy, which was much appreciated. The bath was fantastic and the shower was a nice size. The location is peaceful, great for dogs who dislike fireworks and the fact that its on a flight path didnt bother us at all. Would definitely recommend!
