We had such a lovely time! Sharon and Robert really made us feel at home, which was lovely. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and perfect for Archie, our dog. The location was fantastic-lots of nice walks nearby and Thaxted and other villages are really charming. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed. All in all, a great little getaway and wed happily return!

We stayed here for a week in July with our two little dachshunds and it was such a lovely experience. The cottage itself is charming and cosy and the hot tub was a real treat, especially during the scorching days when the water was just right for a dip. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Watching the planes land near Stansted was quite entertaining too! The village of Thaxted is adorable and the dogs enjoyed meeting new friends. Wed definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway!
