We stayed at this charming cottage recently and honestly, it had everything we could possibly need. We didnt realise how well stocked it was until we arrived - we barely brought anything! The welcome pack was brilliant, full of useful info and menus, which made settling in so much easier. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was just perfect after a day out. Sharon and Robe were quick to respond to any questions. A lovely place for a relaxing break - well definitely be back!

We stayed at this lovely place recently and honestly, it was perfect for our needs. The house is super well equipped and cosy, which was a relief on those rainy December days. The bath was just divine and the shower was really spacious. Being on a flight path didnt bother us at all - dont let it put you off! Great spot if your dogs hate fireworks, so peaceful. Thanks again!

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely spot, tucked away in a peaceful, private area. The owners were genuinely friendly and always happy to help if needed, but it never felt intrusive. The hot tub was a real treat after cycling all day! Only thing to mention is the cottage's location under Stansteds flight path - lots of planes overhead. It took us a couple of hours to get used to the noise, but honestly, it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Just something to keep in mind if youre sensitive to sound.

They greeted us warmly, along with Bonnie, which made us feel right at home. The location is perfect for exploring Essex-lots of charming villages and sights nearby. The house itself is cosy and well-equipped, making it a perfect spot to unwind. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway!

We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage on a working farm and it was surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon couldnt have been more welcoming - really friendly hosts! The place itself is spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave. The garden is perfect for dogs, totally secluded and nicely furnished. Plenty of walks nearby and we enjoyed dining out in Thaxted; The Star and The Maypole are well worth a visit. Definitely recommend it!

We enjoyed watching the planes land since its near Stansted - kinda fun, actually. Overall, wed definitely recommend for a relaxing, dog-friendly getaway. Well be coming back!
