We loved this cosy little cottage! Perfectly tucked away for peace but still near shops and local spots. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept everything super warm. Rob and Sharon are fantastic hosts and Bonnies adorable too. Cant wait to return!

We had such a lovely weekend here! Everything we hoped for and more. The underfloor heating was a hit with our dogs and they had a blast playing outside in the garden. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, but shes fine now, according to the vet. Definitely planning to return soon - it was perfect for us and the pups!

George, Poole
Date of stay: 22nd April 2025
We were a bit annoyed that the en-suite we booked wasnt available, but didnt want to cause a fuss since everyone said spares were scarce. The shower issue was sorted quickly, which was great. Overall, the caravan suited our family perfectly and we had a nice stay despite that small hiccup. Would recommend for a family trip!

From the moment we arrived, Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome in this beautifully converted historic building. We really appreciated their effort to keep the character while offering all the comforts you could want for a relaxing stay. The location is perfect for exploring Essex, especially if you enjoy wandering through charming villages like Thaxted. Wed definitely recommend taking the time to discover the area's rich history and stunning architecture. Will be back!

We needed a break for walking the dog and found this place spot on. Lovely cosy stay, with plenty of nearby pubs and scenic fields. The dog loved it so much, didnt want to leave the fields!
James
Date of stay: 17th April 2025
We had a really lovely time at this cottage. Its set on a working farm but feels surprisingly private, which was great. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely folks. The place itself is super spacious, with well-equipped kitchen and bathroom - we lacked nothing. The bed was so comfy we didnt want to get up! The gardens tucked away, dog-proof and nicely furnished. Plenty of walks nearby and we enjoyed visiting Thaxteds restaurants like The Star and The Maypole. Wed definitely recommend it!

We enjoyed our stay at this cosy cottage. Perfect for relaxing, though the planes at night can be a bit noisy since its close to Stansted. Hot tub was great!
Emma
Date of stay: 11th April 2025
We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this place. The owners are super friendly but not at all intrusive, which was perfect. The fenced garden was great for our dog to run around freely. The cottage had everything we needed and was well-equipped. We enjoyed using the BBQ one evening and the hot tub was absolutely brilliant. Were already telling friends to check it out and would definitely come back!
Harper, Worcestershire

Really enjoyed our stay at Dunsford, the place was spotless and roomy. Beds were comfy, though the sofa was a bit firm. Would come back!
Oliver
Date of stay: 8th April 2025
We had a fantastic weekend here! Everything we hoped for and the place really hit the spot. The garden was perfect for our dogs and they couldnt get enough of the underfloor heating, which was a nice touch. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, but all in all, everyone was super happy. Well definitely be coming back!
Martin
Date of stay: 8th April 2025
We booked this place for a dog walk break and it was just what we needed. Lovely quality accommodation, plenty of fields nearby for off-road walks and pubs within walking distance. The dog loved it so much, he refused to get in the car to leave!
Emma
Date of stay: 7th April 2025
We had an amazing stay at the cottage! The location was perfect-so peaceful and scenic with lovely farm views. The horses were a lovely touch. The owners were really friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting a quiet, relaxing escape. We loved it!
Lisa

Really enjoyed our stay here. The owners were super friendly and helpful, especially when the storm knocked out the power. The place was spotless, warm and well stocked. Our dog loved the enclosed yard and we adored the hot tub! Definitely recommend.
Rajiv
Date of stay: 4th April 2025
We had such a lovely stay at this place! The setting is really peaceful and private, which we loved. The owners are super friendly and always ready to help if needed, but you still get that nice sense of seclusion. The hot tub was an absolute highlight after a long day cycling. Just a heads up-it's right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much after a while, but if you're sensitive to noise, it might be worth considering. Overall, a great spot!
Jamie
Date of stay: 4th April 2025
We had such a lovely weekend here! Everything about the stay was perfect for us and were already planning to return. Our dogs especially enjoyed the underfloor heating and the big garden - Luna even wagged her tail so much she strained it! Honestly, happy pups, happy owners. Its a really great place, cant recommend it enough!
Oliver
Date of stay: 4th April 2025
The cottage was just what we needed-peaceful and tucked away from the busy areas. The hot tub was a lovely touch and the owners were really friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Theyve got it just right!
