Date of stay: 9th May 2025

We stayed at this lovely cottage recently and honestly, it had everything we needed. The owners, Sharon and Rob, thought of every little detail, including a really helpful welcome pack with info and menus. We didnt have to bring much at all, the place was so well equipped! The enclosed garden was a big plus for our dogs and the hot tub was just perfect after a long day. We really appreciated the little extras for us and the pups. A great place for a relaxing break, highly recommend!

Really enjoyed our stay here! The place was spotless and peaceful, perfect for a quiet getaway. Hosts were super friendly and helpful. The hot tub was a real treat!

Emily Carter
Date of stay: 10th February 2025

We loved this place! Its super cosy and warm, perfect for a rainy December day. The bath was just fantastic and the shower was spacious too. The house is in a quiet spot, so the noise from planes didnt bother us at all-dont let that put you off. Perfect for dogs that dislike fireworks, being in the middle of nowhere. Thanks a lot, well be back!

We had such a relaxing time here. Sharon and Robert really go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable and cosy. Though it was our second visit, were already planning to return again soon. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed our stay here! The house is stunning and peaceful, with a lovely courtyard and hot-tub. Perfect for relaxing after long country walks. Would definitely come back again.

Raj Patel
Date of stay: 26th February 2024

We had a great stay at this lovely spot tucked away in a peaceful, private area. The hosts were super friendly and always ready to help if we needed anything, but it still kept that cosy, secluded feel. The hot tub was a real treat after a long cycle day! One thing to note, the cottage is quite close to 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 come back!
