Really enjoyed our stay, the cottage had everything needed!

Date of stay: 18th April 2025
We needed a quick dog walking getaway and it was just what we hoped for. Lovely accommodation, plenty of nearby pubs and restaurants and endless fields for off-road adventures. The dog didnt want to leave either!

We had a lovely stay at this charming little spot. The location is really private and peaceful, tucked away from the hustle but close enough if you need anything. The owners were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. After a long day cycling, the hot tub was just what we needed! Only thing to mention is that the cottage is pretty close to Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our trip at all. Definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic week here from 15 to 22 July with our two mini daschunds, who loved every minute and made friends in the lovely village of Thaxted. The cottage itself is charming and the hot tub was a real highlight, especially on those scorching days when the cooled water made it so refreshing. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. Watching the planes land near Stansted was surprisingly soothing and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Wed definitely recommend it!

We had such a lovely escape! The cabin was spot on, with everything we needed - from loo rolls to dishwasher tablets, they really thought of all the little details. The undercover porch with hooks, the drying room and comfy beds made our stay even better. The highlight was definitely relaxing in the hot tub surrounded by mountains - truly stunning. Honestly, we didnt want to leave. Everything was just perfect and well definitely be returning soon!

We had a lovely stay! Sharon and Robert really made us feel at home, which was much appreciated. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and safe for our dog Archie - he loved it! The location was perfect with lots of walks nearby and Thaxted and the surrounding villages are charming spots to explore. Honestly, we left feeling totally recharged and relaxed. It was just what we needed!

We just got back from a festive week at Hartsop Fold and honestly, it was fantastic. The views were absolutely stunning, especially with the snow falling on our last day - really magical! Even though the place is pet-friendly, the lodges were surprisingly spotless, which we appreciated. Theyre well kitted out with smart TVs and a speaker, perfect for Christmas movie marathons and tunes. We loved the rechargeable torch/night light - so handy! The free laundry room was a godsend and kept everything tidy. The staff might be a bit rare to spot, but when we did see them, they were super friendly and helpful. The shower had great pressure, beds were cosy and the hot tub was just what we needed after climbing Red Screes. Thanks for a lovely holiday; were definitely coming back!

The lodge was absolutely lovely and the place itself was quite beautiful. Sadly, the laundry room was shut, so I couldnt get fresh towels midweek which was a bit of a pain! Still, overall, we had a great time.

We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage set on a working farm, but surprisingly private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are absolutely charming - really friendly and welcoming. The place itself is huge, with everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. The bed was super comfy, which is always a plus. The gardens totally secluded, dog-proof and nicely furnished. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxteds restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!

We had such a lovely stay! The house was super well equipped and kept us really warm, which was perfect for the rainy December weather. The bath was fantastic and the shower was spacious - just what we needed. Even though its under a flight path, we hardly noticed any noise. Perfect spot for dogs, especially those not keen on fireworks. Thanks a lot!

Date of stay: 30th June 2024
Honestly, we had a really good time staying at this lodge. We were there for a whole week, from Friday to Friday and it definitely felt like a home away from home. The place was super cosy and, crucially, always warm - which was a lifesaver considering the unpredictable weather outside. The heating system was spot on, with an adjustable thermostat, so we never felt too hot or too cold; it was just right every time. We tried to cook proper meals during our stay, mainly to keep up our energy for all the walking we did. The kitchen was pretty well equipped for that, but we did run into a tiny snag - the knives were blunt as anything, making chopping a real pain! Nothing too major, though. We also forgot to grab salt and pepper when we arrived, which was an oversight on our part. Luckily, a quick stroll to reception sorted that out; the caretakers had some stored away. The appliances in the kitchen were excellent - dishwasher, oven, induction hob and a fridge with a small freezer compartment that was just enough for two of us. One of the absolute highlights was definitely the Hot Tub. We used it pretty much every day, sometimes twice - it was that good! Super easy to get in and out of. Just shower before to keep it clean, lift the lid (which was a doddle)and then relax. The hot tub was looked after regularly, with someone checking on it nearly every day, which was reassuring. At night, it was magical; we often enjoyed the starry sky while soaking - honestly, it made all the mountain climbs and long walks in the rain totally worth it. If youre thinking of staying here, definitely opt for a lodge with a hot tub - its a game-changer after a tough day outdoors. The bed was *so* comfy - really soft, maybe a bit too soft for some, but we loved it. The bathroom was well-stocked with a large, modern shower that worked perfectly. Towels were provided - big and small for each of us, plus hand towels. If youre staying longer than a few days, you might want to do laundry; theres a washing and drying machine at reception, which came in handy. The living room was a generous size, with a big 4K TV on the wall. It had Freeview and every streaming app you could think of, so bringing your login details makes binge-watching pretty easy. Just remember to log out before you leave - we noticed some previous guests hadntand their accounts were still active! We brought along a laptop and HDMI cable just in case, but the TV already had an HDMI port, which was a nice surprise. The Bose Bluetooth speaker was a lovely touch too - perfect for relaxing tunes. Sofas werent the most comfy - a bit firm after a long day, but thats a minor quibble. The dining table was great, with cute animal-themed mats and coasters provided, which added a nice touch. Overall, the lodge was well thought out, clean and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Wed definitely come back - especially for that hot tub! It really made our stay special.

We stayed at this lovely cottage and honestly, it had everything we needed - no need to bring a thing! The owners, Sharon and Rob, are super quick to reply if you have questions. The welcome pack was so handy, packed with info and menus, which made settling in easy. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was a real treat after long days out. We appreciated the little extras for us and the pups. All in all, a really relaxing break - wed definitely return!
