We had a really lovely time staying here! Sharon and Robert were fantastic hosts, making us feel right at home. The place had all we needed-spotlessly clean, comfy and secure for our dog Archie, which was a big plus. The location was perfect for walks and exploring Thaxted and nearby villages, which are truly charming. Honestly, we left feeling totally recharged and relaxed, so definitely a place wed recommend!

We found the place spotless and super comfy. Its great for four people, maybe a bit tight for six since the twin beds are quite narrow and the bedrooms arent huge. Only four of us could sit comfortably around the table for meals. The kitchen was well stocked, though a couple of baking trays wouldve been handy. The shower was really good and the double room was perfect. Plus, the hairdryer was a lovely bonus! Wed definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay! The owners were genuinely welcoming and helpful, making us feel right at home. The cottage itself is adorable, with that charming half-timbered look and a comfy bed that made nights really restful. The shower was surprisingly powerful, which was a bonus and the cosy kitchen was perfect for relaxing evenings. Parking right next to the cottage was super convenient. Plus, the areas great for walks, especially across those scenic fields to Thaxted. Well definitely come back!

We stayed at this cosy little cottage and honestly, it had everything we could possibly need. We didnt have to bring a thing! The welcome pack was really handy, full of all the info and menus - such a nice touch. The owners, Sharon and Rob, were super quick to reply if we had questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was just perfect for relaxing after a day out. Thanks for such a lovely getaway, well definitely be back!

We spent a week here from 15 to 22 July with our two mini dachshund girls and they absolutely loved it! They made loads of friends in the lovely village of Thaxted. The cottage itself is really charming and the hot tub was such a treat - especially since it was scorchingly hot that week, so cooling off in it was perfect. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Being near Stansteds flight path was actually pretty interesting - watching the planes land was quite fun. Would definitely recommend!

We recently stayed at the lodge and honestly, it was pretty well stocked with extras. Being a new place, we found unopened board games which was a nice touch. The little kitchen pack with washing up liquid, tea towel, bin liners, tea and coffee was a thoughtful addition that we didnt expect. The master bedroom had a cute organza bag with some smellies inside, which was a lovely detail. We were a group of five, but the twin beds were quite narrow for my parents and our 6-year-old kept knocking into the wall at night, which was a bit of a pain. Next time, I think well go for a larger, luxury lodge. The shower was really powerful and the lodge was spotless, plus it didnt smell at all like a pet-friendly place, which was great! Overall, a nice stay.

The lodge itself was spotless and super comfy, with cosy beds and fluffy towels that made us feel right at home. Loved the little touches like mini soaps and coffee sachets. The staff were genuinely friendly, making everything easy. Breakfast at Brewers was really tasty too. The location was peaceful but perfect for exploring Lincoln Castle and The Kinema in the Woods. Well definitely be back!
