We stayed at this charming cottage and loved the peaceful vibe. The hot tub was a real highlight! Just a heads up about night flights from Stanstead, but still worth it.

We spent a fantastic week here in July with our two mini daschunds and they loved every minute of it! The village of Thaxted is charming and the cottage itself is really lovely. The hot tub was such a treat, especially with the hot weather-we appreciated how it was cooled down, making it really refreshing after a long day. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming and it was lovely to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Being close to Stansted and watching the planes land was an added bonus. Definitely recommend!

The weather was perfect, so we enjoyed a few picnics in the sunshine. The kids absolutely loved the park and the swimming pool, even if an hour felt a bit short. Overall, it was a brilliant holiday and were already talking about coming back again!

We had a lovely stay here! The hosts were genuinely warm and helpful, making us feel right at home. The cottages charm is undeniable, with its traditional half-timbered look and spotlessly clean interior. The shower is powerful and the cosy living space is perfect for relaxing after a day out. Parking right beside the cottage was a real bonus and we enjoyed peaceful walks across the fields to Thaxted. Its a great spot for exploring the area easily.
