We had a fantastic weekend here, exactly what we needed. The place was comfortable and really well thought out. Our dogs had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating-such a treat for them! The garden kept them busy and Luna was wagging her tail nonstop. She even came back with a strained tail, but totally worth it. Definitely coming back!

We recently stayed in the Hawthorn Lodge 8 and honestly, its a lovely place-really well-kept, spacious and the decor is nice. The hot tub was a real highlight, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Karen, the host, was super helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. That said, there are a few things to be aware of. The site itself is quite small, with no dedicated grounds or walking areas, which was a bit of a bummer. The restaurant and bar were closed during our stay, so we couldnt grab a drink or bite there. Also, the swimming pool and spa are only for over 16s, so no kids allowed. The location isnt ideal either-it's by a busy road, no pavement and the road speeds well over 30mph, so walking isnt very safe. Plus, the site was quite noisy because of ongoing building works and theres no on-site shop or nearby amenities. Parkings a short walk from the lodge, which is manageable in good weather, but not perfect in the rain. Still, overall it was a nice stay despite these little hiccups!

We stayed at this place during a rainy December and it was just what we needed-super cosy and warm. The house is really well kitted out and the bath was fantastic, plus a good-sized shower too! The location is perfect for our dog whos not a fan of fireworks, as its quite remote, which was a huge plus. No noise issues from the nearby flight path either. Thanks a lot, we loved it!

The location is spot on with plenty nearby to explore and the park itself is nicely situated. Would be great to have more electric charging points, though and cheaper EV charging options too!

The lodge was super tidy and nicely decorated, really comfortable too. The mattresses leaned a bit soft for my taste, but others might love it.

We really enjoyed our stay! The site itself isnt much in terms of activities, but its perfect for a quick escape from the hustle. Having Brean, Weston and Burnham all within half an hour was handy for days out. Plenty of pubs nearby for food and we even got Chinese and Indian deliveries straight to the lodge - that was a bonus! Our lodge had everything we needed and worked perfectly. Weve stayed in both the lodges and the bungalows, but honestly, the lodge is our favourite. Well definitely be returning!

We had a lovely stay at this good place. The setting is so peaceful and private, perfect for a relaxing break. The hosts were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, without intruding on our privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day cycling around. Just a heads up, the cottage sits right under Stansteds flight path, so aircraft noise is unavoidable. It didnt bother us much after a while, but if you're sensitive to noise, its worth considering. Overall, a really enjoyable experience!

The lodge was fantastic, just three weeks old, so everything felt fresh. A couple of minor issues came up, but it didnt ruin our stay at all.

We stayed at this cosy cottage recently and honestly, it had everything we needed. The owners, Sharon and Rob, really thought of everything - the welcome pack was full of handy info and menus, which was great. We didnt have to pack much at all! The enclosed garden was perfect for the dogs and they loved it. The hot tub was a real treat after busy days. We appreciated the little extras for our pups and ourselves. Communication was super quick too. Definitely a lovely spot for a relaxing break!

We spent a week here with our two tiny dachshunds and honestly, it was a lovely stay. The village of Thaxted is charming and friendly and our dogs loved making new friends. The cottage itself is really cosy and the hot tub was a definite highlight-perfect after those hot summer days, especially since it cooled the water just right. The hosts were super welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken to the fields each day. Yes, its near Stansteds flight path, but honestly, watching the planes land added to the charm. Wed definitely come back!
