We had such a lovely stay at this cosy spot tucked away in a peaceful, private area. The owners were super friendly and always happy to help if needed, but kept a good distance to preserve the tranquillity. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling around. Just a heads up, the cottage is right under 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 keeping in mind. Overall, a great little getaway!

We had a lovely stay at this good place! The setting is so peaceful and private, yet the owners were super friendly and always ready to help if needed. The hot tub was a real treat after long days cycling around the area. 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 too much once we got used to it, but its worth considering if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, a great place to unwind!

We had such a lovely weekend stay here! Everything was just right for us and we really enjoyed our time. The underfloor heating was a hit with our dogs - they loved the garden and had so much fun.

We spent a week here in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, it was lovely. The cottage itself is charming and cosy and the hot tub was such a treat, especially since we visited during the hottest days of the year. It was great to see the hosts being so welcoming and caring; you could tell they genuinely enjoy hosting. We enjoyed watching the planes land since its near Stansted - quite interesting! The village of Thaxted is also adorable, full of character. Would definitely recommend this place for a relaxed getaway with your furry friends!

This place is really well kitted out and super cosy, especially on a cold, rainy day. The bath was fantastic and the shower was spacious - just what we needed! Its on a flight path, but honestly, we didnt even notice. Perfect spot for dogs that hate fireworks, totally remote. Such a lovely, well-renovated property. Thanks a lot for having us!
