James
Date of stay: 5th May 2025

We had a lovely time at the cottage, which is tucked away on a working farm but still feels very private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely and welcoming. The place itself is really spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed thats perfect for relaxing. The garden is a real bonus - secluded, dog-proof and furnished nicely. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted has some cracking restaurants like The Star and The Maypole. Wed definitely recommend it!
