We stayed at this lovely little cottage recently and honestly, it was a great find. The owners are genuinely lovely and very attentive without being overbearing. The place itself is super cosy, with a charming half-timbered exterior that really feels authentic. The shower is strong, the kitchen and lounge make for a perfect relaxing space and the bed was incredibly comfy. Parking right outside was a real bonus, plus its well heated and spotless. We enjoyed some lovely walks through the fields to Thaxted, which is just a short drive away. Definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Honestly, we left feeling refreshed and relaxed, so it was a win all round!

We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot, tucked away in a really peaceful, private area. The owners were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, yet respectful of our privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day cycling around. Just a heads up - its right under Stansteds flight path, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but its worth mentioning if you're sensitive to sounds. Overall, a great place to relax!

We had such a lovely week here from 15th to 22nd July with our two mini dachshunds. They really enjoyed their stay, making friends in the charming village of Thaxted. The cottage itself is beautiful, especially the hot tub - perfect for those scorching summer days, as it was cooled down and super refreshing. The hosts were genuinely welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Being near the Stansted flight path was actually quite fun, watching the planes land. Wed definitely recommend it!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming cottage, nestled on a working farm but surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon are such lovely hosts, making us feel right at home. The place is huge, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfy bed that made waking up a pleasure. The garden is perfect for dogs, totally secluded and with nice furniture to relax in. Plenty of nearby walks and Thaxted has some great restaurants - we loved The Star and The Maypole. Definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon have really put a lot of effort into transforming this historic building with such care. They greeted us warmly, along with Bonnie, which made us feel right at home. The location is perfect for exploring Essex-definitely worth wandering around Thaxted and the surrounding villages to soak up the charming history and sights. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a cosy, relaxing break!

Our week at the cottage was lovely, especially with our two mini dachshunds who loved making friends in Thaxted. The place itself is charming and the hot tub was a real treat, especially during those scorching days when the water was cool enough to be really refreshing. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields every day. Yeah, its near Stansteds flight path, but honestly, watching the planes land added a bit of charm. Would definitely come back!

We stayed at a really cosy, well-equipped house that kept us warm during a rainy December. The bath was fantastic and the shower was quite spacious - perfect after a long day out. The location is peaceful, with no noise from the nearby flight path, which didnt bother us at all. Great spot for dogs, especially if fireworks scare them. Thanks a lot for a lovely stay!
