We recently stayed at this charming cottage and honestly, it exceeded our expectations. The space was really generous, especially the bedrooms and en suites, which were spotlessly clean. The outdoor area with the hot tub was a lovely perk and even though we were told it might take a while to warm up, it was perfectly fine from the start. We appreciated the little touches like the welcome pack, robes and slippers - made us feel really taken care of. The only tiny downside was the weather - it rained quite a lot, so we couldnt enjoy the hot tub as much as wed hoped. Wed definitely come back!

We recently stayed at The Little Potting Shed and honestly, it was a bit of a letdown. When we arrived, we were surprised to find that The Bar and Cafe on-site was closed for renovations. This wasnt mentioned anywhere in our booking confirmation or during any of the pre-arrival communications, which was pretty frustrating. Its small details like that that can really impact your stay, especially when youre counting on having the option to grab a drink or a bite nearby.The cottage itself was a decent size for the three of us-two adults and our medium-sized dog-and its definitely got that quirky, different vibe that drew us to it initially. There are some nice touches like fresh flowers on the table and a couple of small bottles of prosecco, which was a lovely surprise. The doggy bag and dish cleaning pack were also a nice gesture, though honestly, weve stayed in similar places with the same extras and didnt think they were anything special.That said, the cleanliness was quite disappointing. The living room rug looked like it hadnt been vacuumed in ages, which was a bit gross. The bathroom tiles were just disgusting-seriously, they needed a proper scrub. The sink splashback was covered in toothpaste splatters and what I can only describe as saliva marks from previous guests. The mirror was even worse, with what looked like dried-up bogey and blue toothpaste smudges on the frame. The shower tiles couldve done with a good steam and scrub too.We followed the instructions and texted staff about these issues and they responded promisingly. A cleaner came while we were out in the afternoon, so we were hopeful things would improve. When we got back, the rug had been cleaned and looked fine, but the bathroom was still a mess-no real effort had been made. The mirror was just flicked with a cloth, leaving the same marks and the sink area could have been wiped down easily with some cleaning solution. We told staff again and they said HR was aware but didnt offer any further solution. We ended up wiping the sink and mirror with water just to make it tolerable.Honestly, its baffling that basic cleaning wasnt done properly in the first place, especially in todays post-pandemic world where cleanliness should be a priority. We also noticed that the radiator in the living space and under the sink was leaking, but at that point, we just couldnt be bothered to raise it anymore. Its a shame because the place has potential, but the overall standard of cleanliness and the lack of communication about facilities being closed really marred the experience for us. We probably wouldnt stay again, which is disappointing because the setting is quite nice, but cleanliness and transparency are key and those were lacking here.

Waterlily Cottage really impressed us. The decor was charming and the bed super comfy, making it perfect for relaxing. The bathroom had a great shower over the bath and the little touches like the coffee machine and welcome pack were lovely. The hot tub at the back was definitely a highlight!

We stayed at The Little Potting Shed and honestly, it was just what we needed. The quirky vibe really made our trip special and the little treats for us and the dog were a lovely surprise. Only small gripe was the TV disconnecting sometimes in the evenings, but honestly, it didnt ruin our stay at all. Wed definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay in the cosy little potting shed. The extra touches really made it special. The only thing wed tweak is the height of the bed - it was a bit high, but super comfy once we got in. Our dog was also a big fan. Wed come back for sure!

We stayed in this charming little cabin and it really felt cosy. The quirky bed was fun, though a bit high if you have mobility issues. Everything else was lovely-soft furnishings and beautiful Denby crockery made it special!

We had an absolutely lovely time! The cottage was sparkling clean and felt br and new since we were the first to stay there. I really appreciated the modern design and how attractive the place looked. The hot tub was such a nice touch, really the cherry on top. The location was perfect, close enough to loads of attractions, which made exploring easy. We also enjoyed some great meals and drinks at the on-site bar. The staff were all so friendly and helpful - well definitely be back!

We had a lovely stay at Waterlily Cottage. The place was spotless and the team on site really made sure everything was perfect. The hot tub was a bonus and its great that its dog friendly - perfect for us and the pooch! One small thing, though, itd be handy to have somewhere to hang coats downstairs and a tray for muddy shoes at the door, especially when the weathers rubbish. Still, wed definitely come back!
Emma
We stayed in a really comfy, well-equipped house that kept us cosy despite the rainy December weather. The bath was perfect and the shower was really spacious-such a treat! The place is right under a flight path, but honestly, it didnt bother us at all. Perfect spot for dogs who dislike fireworks since its tucked away in the middle of nowhere. Thanks so much!
Sam
We had a fantastic weekend here! The place really ticked all our boxes and were already planning to return. The pups adored the underfloor heating and spent ages playing in the garden. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it! Honestly, everyone was super happy, pups and humans alike. Great spot, will be back for sure!

We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot tucked away in a peaceful, private area. The hosts were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, yet they respected our privacy completely. The hot tub was a real highlight after cycling around the countryside! A small thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of plane noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but it might be an issue for light sleepers. Overall, a great find!
James
We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage nestled on a working farm, yet surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon are such warm, welcoming hosts, really made us feel at home. The place itself is massive and well-equipped, especially the kitchen and bathroom - everything you need. The bed was super comfy and the garden, with its dog-proof fencing and comfy furniture, felt like our little retreat. There are plenty of nice walks nearby and Thaxted's restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth checking out. Wed definitely recommend it!
Emma

We had a fantastic stay at this cosy cottage! Honestly, its so well equipped that we barely needed to bring anything, which was a lovely surprise. The welcome pack was really thoughtful, with all the info we could possibly need, including local menus-such a nice touch. The enclosed garden was perfect for the dogs and they loved it here. The hot tub was a real highlight, so relaxing. Sharon and Rob were quick to respond to any questions, making everything smooth. Thanks for a lovely break, well definitely be back!
