We just got back from a four-night stay at this cosy cottage and honestly, it was lovely! The owners are really friendly and helpful without being overbearing, which we appreciated. The big fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around safely. The place was well-equipped with everything we needed and we even enjoyed a BBQ one evening. The hot tub was definitely a highlight! Wed happily come back and already recommend it to friends. Thanks for a great stay!

Oliver
Date of stay: 4th May 2025

We had a lovely stay thanks to the owners, who were genuinely friendly and helpful. The cottage itself was adorable, with its charming half-timbered look and a nice, strong shower. The cosy kitchen and living area made it feel homey and the bed was super comfy. Parking right outside was a real bonus and everything was spotless. We enjoyed peaceful walks across the fields to Thaxted, which is full of lovely half-timbered houses and a windmill. Definitely recommend!
