Visitor Reviews of Hillcroft Park

Emma
Date of stay: 18th April 2025
We had such a lovely weekend here, perfect for a peaceful anniversary getaway. Highly recommend!
Emma Carter
Date of stay: 15th April 2025
We had a really lovely stay! Sharon and Robert went out of their way to make us feel at home, which we truly appreciated. The place was spotlessly clean, cosy and felt safe for our dog Archie. The location was perfect for exploring - loads of nice walks and charming villages like Thaxted nearby. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed. All in all, a great little retreat!
Martin
Date of stay: 13th April 2025
We had a fantastic weekend getaway and this place really ticked all the boxes for us. The garden was perfect for the dogs and they were so happy, especially with the underfloor heating-Luna was wagging her tail nonstop! She even came home with a strained tail, but its all good. Were definitely planning to visit again soon!
Oliver, Widnes
Date of stay: 11th April 2025
Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was perfect and spacious too.
Raj
Date of stay: 8th April 2025
We had a really lovely stay at this place. The setting is quite secluded and really beautiful, perfect if you want some peace and quiet. The owners are genuinely friendly and helpful, always nearby if you need anything but respecting your privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after cycling all day, definitely a highlight! One thing to keep in mind though, the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us too much after a while, but its worth considering if youre sensitive to noise. All in all, a great spot!
Emma Clarke, Durham
Date of stay: 30th March 2025

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage. Its tucked away nicely but still close enough to the shops and local spots. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept everything super comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel right at home! Well be back soon for sure.

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy cottage on a working farm, which feels surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon are such lovely hosts, making us feel really welcome. The place itself is spacious and well-equipped, especially the kitchen and bathroom - everything we needed! The bed was super comfy and the garden, dog-proof and secluded, was perfect for relaxing. Plenty of walking routes nearby and we loved exploring Thaxteds restaurants like The Star and The Maypole. Definitely recommend!

The place looked really nice, super clean and modern fixtures everywhere. We did run out of towels and toilet roll after a couple of days, though. Bit tight for four adults over three nights.

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage! Honestly, we didnt need to bring a thing because its so well equipped. The welcome pack was a nice touch, full of useful info and menus - really thoughtful. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a day out.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cosy cottage. Perfect for a peaceful escape, though the night-time plane noise from Stanstead was noticeable. The hot tub was a highlight!
Emma
Date of stay: 15th January 2025
We stayed here for a week in July with our two little dachshunds. The cottage is really charming and the hot tub was a real treat, especially during the scorching days when the water was cool enough to enjoy. The hosts were lovely and made us feel very welcome, even taking their dogs out to the fields each day which was a nice touch. Being near Stansted meant we could watch the planes landing - quite interesting! Overall, wed definitely recommend , it was a great little getaway and the dogs loved it too!
Emma

We had such a lovely stay at this little gem! The location is really private and peaceful, perfect for escaping the hustle. The owners are super friendly and always willing to help without intruding-just the right balance. The hot tub was a highlight after a long day of cycling, so relaxing! The only thing to note is that its right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us too much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive, its worth mentioning. Overall, wed definitely go back!
