We had a lovely stay at this peaceful spot. Sharon and Robert really go above and beyond to make sure everything's just right. Even on our second visit, were already planning to come back again soon!

Harriet

Date of stay: 6th May 2025

We stayed at this place recently and found it to be super well-equipped, which was a big plus. It was so warm and cosy inside, perfect for a rainy December day. The bath was fantastic and the shower was a good size too. The location is quiet and even though it's under a flight path, it didnt bother us at all. Ideal if your dogs hate fireworks-so peaceful! Thanks a lot!

Sam

Date of stay: 6th May 2025

We loved the cottage! Its perfectly tucked away, so peaceful but still near shops and local spots. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept us super cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Cant wait to return for longer!

Harper

Date of stay: 28th April 2025

The place was really lovely, super peaceful and perfect for our dogs with that fully enclosed garden.

Rachel Carter

Date of stay: 27th April 2025

We had a really lovely stay at this good place. The location is so peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing. The owners are super friendly and always willing to help without intruding. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling, definitely a highlight! The only thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, its worth considering. Overall, a fantastic place to unwind!
