Laura
Date of stay: 6th July 2025

We stayed in the Rydal (M23) and it was lovely! On the smaller side but it was only me and my husband and our 2 young kids. Lovely, clean and I would say new caravan with no chips etc. Resturant on site (The Willows) 10/10 every meal we had and using the app to order food and drink were really helpful. My daughter loved the soft play and the arcades there were really good, just enough.We went in June and it wasnt busy at all with kids so I didnt feel too chaotic. The town is 5 minute walk and the Beatrix potter museum is a must if you have younger children. Town is lovely and had lots of shops. Would definitely come back, thank you everyone :)

We had a really lovely stay! Sharon and Robert were such welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home. The place was spotless, comfy and perfect for Archie, our dog. The location was spot on with loads of great walks nearby, plus Thaxted and the other villages are simply charming. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed - it was just what we needed, honestly. Would happily come back!

We stayed at this lovely place during a chilly December week and found it super cosy and well kitted out. The big shower and comfy bath were a real treat after long walks. The houses location is perfect for dogs - totally quiet with no fireworks to worry about. And honestly, the noise from the flight path didnt bother us at all. Thanks so much for a great stay!
