The owners, Sharon and Rob, were quick to respond whenever we had questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was definitely a highlight. Thanks for the little extras for us and our pups - it made the break really special. Well definitely be back!

We had a really lovely stay at this cottage. Its tucked away on a working farm but feels totally private, which was great. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely people. The place itself is surprisingly spacious and well-equipped, especially the kitchen and bathroom. The bed was super comfy and the garden, dog-proof and private, was perfect for relaxing. We enjoyed exploring the walks nearby and ate at some nice spots in Thaxted-The Star and The Maypole were our favourites. Honestly, wed recommend it if youre after a peaceful getaway!

Our dogs were totally spoiled, especially with the underfloor heating-Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, bless her! The garden was perfect for them to run around. Definitely a great find for us and the pups!

We spent a week here in mid-July with our two mini dachshunds and honestly, the dogs loved it! They made some friends in the charming village of Thaxted, which was a lovely bonus. The cottage itself is really cosy and the hot tub was a real highlight-especially with the hot weather, the cool water was so refreshing. The hosts were genuinely friendly and welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Plus, watching the planes land near Stansted added a bit of excitement. Wed definitely recommend it!

We had such a great stay at this lovely spot! The setting is super peaceful and private, perfect for a relaxing break. The owners are really friendly and gave us just the right amount of help, without intruding. The hot tub was a highlight after a long day cycling - bliss! Only thing to mention is that its 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 its worth knowing if youre sensitive to noise. Overall, a fantastic place!
