Plus 2 single beds. fully fitted kichen with Tea coffee Milk orange juice, cereal biscuits jams small loaf bread butter. nice size TV with free Sky and Netflix.Beautifully laid out and spacious. You do not have a jacuzzi on the balcony but you do have table and chairs on there.
A beautiful place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the location. It was easy to go to the surrounding areas. The lodge was very comfortable snd cosy .
We had a lovely time! Sharon and Robert really went out of their way to make us feel at home, which we appreciated a lot. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and perfect for Archies needs-secure and cosy. The location was fantastic for walks and we loved exploring Thaxted and the nearby villages. Honestly, it was exactly what we needed to recharge our batteries. Well definitely be coming back!
We had a fantastic weekend here! The place was just what we needed and were already planning to return. Our dogs really enjoyed the underfloor heating and the garden was perfect for them to play in. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, but shes fine now. Both pups and us had a lovely time!
Beautiful place
We had a fantastic stay! The place was so peaceful and well kitted out, especially loved relaxing in the hot tub. Lovely hosts too. If you're after some quiet time, this is the spot to go. Absolutely loved it!
We stayed at this lovely cottage on a working farm and honestly, it was perfect for what we needed-really private and peaceful. Robert and Sharon are such warm, friendly hosts, making us feel right at home. The place itself is huge, with a well-equipped kitchen and a cosy, comfy bed. The gardens super secluded, dog-proof and nicely furnished. Plus, there are loads of walks nearby. Thaxteds got some decent restaurants too, like The Star and The Maypole. Wed definitely recommend it!
Excellent accommodation. Very spacious and good location on the site
Really enjoyed the calm vibe here, jacuzzi was such a treat! Definitely coming back soon.
We loved the option to check in early and the lodge with its own hot tub was perfect. Everything was spotless, really made our first family trip special!
We had such a lovely stay at this cottage! The setting is truly peaceful, surrounded by stunning farml and and horses galore. The owners were really welcoming and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Perfect for a quiet, relaxing getaway - we'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a break from the hustle and bustle.
Really comfy spot to start our adventures.
White Oak really impressed us! The lodge felt fresh and cosy, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The only tiny issues were the lack of drawers in the twin bedrooms, making storage a bit tight and a larger frying pan wouldve been handy in the kitchen. But honestly, these are minor points. Wed happily return anytime - its a lovely place and well worth a visit. Cant wait to go back!
We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead! The cottage was well-equipped and perfect for relaxing walks right outside. The owners are such lovely people, making us feel very welcome throughout. Definitely recommend!
Our week at the cottage was lovely! We brought along our two mini daschunds and they really loved the place, making friends with other dogs in the village of Thaxted. The highlight was definitely the hot tub - perfect for the scorching weather, especially since it was cooled for a more refreshing dip. The hosts were genuinely friendly and welcoming, it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Being close to Stansteds flight path was quite fun too; watching the planes land added a bit of entertainment to our stay. Would happily recommend!
Really enjoyed it, will go again!
We really enjoyed our visit, the fields were perfect for a relaxing dog walk. Lovely spot!
Really enjoyed our stay at Sycamore, the furniture and fittings are definitely better than other lodges we've experienced. Great place!
The cottage was just perfect for a peaceful getaway. Loved how spotless it was and that everything we needed was there. The hot tub was definitely a highlight! Plenty of lovely walks nearby and the village had a really cosy vibe. Would definitely go back!
We had a wonderful weekend staying here and really hope to visit again later this year!
The owners were so welcoming and really helpful when the storm knocked out the power. The place was spotless, super cosy and our dog loved the enclosed garden. We also enjoyed the hot tub-brilliant stay!
The house was stunning, super tidy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a real treat! We had a fantastic time, honestly. Would definitely come back again.
Despite the doggy smell from previous guests, we had a lovely stay. The staff went above and beyond trying to get rid of the lingering odour and we really appreciated their efforts. The breakfast hamper was a lovely touch too. Overall, we enjoyed our time so much that weve already booked for next year. Definitely worth a return visit!
Really enjoyed our stay here! The place was spotless and peaceful, hosts were super friendly and the hot tub was a real treat. Perfect for couples and pets!
We had a truly restful stay! The cottage was spotless, well-stocked and had some nice little extras that made it special. Highly recommended!
We had such a lovely stay! The cottage was spotless and really well stocked, making everything easy. Our dogs loved the walks right outside the door and we enjoyed meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig. The host was super friendly and quick to respond. Its a great little getaway, definitely coming back soon!
We really had a lovely stay! Sharon and Robert were such friendly hosts and made us feel right at home from the start. The place was spotlessly clean, super comfy and perfect for Archie with good security. The location couldnt have been better-loads of great walks nearby and charming villages like Thaxted to explore. Honestly, we left feeling refreshed and relaxed, which is just what we needed. Definitely recommend!
We stayed at this lovely lodge and found it super clean and cosy. The beds were really comfy and there were plenty of towels. Only downside was two blinds wouldnt open, making the kitchen a bit dark. Still, wed come back!
Lovely lodge, spotless clean, only gripe is 2 of the blinds wouldn't open which made the kitchen area a bit dark, beds nice and comfy and plenty of towels.
Beautiful lodge Great Lake view and fabulous sunsets. Amazing helpful staff. Definitely rebooking again highly recommended. Only thing we didn’t like was the sofa in the lounge it was uncomfortable. Otherwise amazing holiday
Great place for water sports. A shop on the site will be handy.
Great little site - the lake was great for water sports and swimming.
Very peaceful - will definitely return.
Super spacious lodge
It's our 3rd time there and it a beautiful place.
I'm a carer and it is so relaxing.
Lovely site with fantastic views over the pond , centrally located for visiting other areas in the Cotswolds
All my college buddies had a get together @CFWP. Cottage(Birch) was excellent and neatly maintained. Facilities were nice. Very peaceful location, just couple of mins drive to the grocery shops.
Lake side view is amazing and had fun with swimming in the lake during the hot weather.
It was few mins drive to cotsworld attractions where we covered all the tourist spots in 2 days.
Overall 3 nights stay was memorable and amazing experience. While booking we thought we spend little bit expensive for stay but after visiting the location and room it was worth paying.
I love to take my family here whenever I get a chance.
It would have been nice for the clubhouse to be open later in the week
Had a fantastic time and are trying to organise going back again asap. Really great atmosphere with lots to do and the lodges were great. The site could do with its own shop to cater for the site but it does have a sign saying one is being built in March 2023 .
We didn't use a lot of the facilities, however those participating in water sports on the lake seemed to be having a great time!
We did use the cafe once for breakfast which was disappointing. The eggs were all over cooked and I don't think the chef had ever mad eggs royal before because it wasn't served with hollandaise sauce over the top (we had to ask for some). However, the staff were very apologetic to our complaint and we received free drinks in an attempt to rectify the situation.
Loved our stay here. The accommodation was high quality and very comfortable.
We stayed for 3 nights in the Willow lodge and loved it. Would have stayed longer but was fully booked. Location was lovely, lodge well equipped and hot tub was great. Staff great too. Very minor point, a parasol would have been handy for the patio area to cope with the heat. Would definitely book again. Thank you.
Lovely location position of our lodge really good large patio area great hot tub good quality items and enough of everything lovely welcome pack. Lake and area kept very neat and tidy. Play areas for children could do with some swings we had 3 and 5 year olds. Ant problem in lodge kitchen we reported when we left but not a deal breaker!
