Really enjoyed our stay - the place was lovely and were already planning to return soon!
Lovely stay at the cottage, super friendly hosts and the jacuzzi was a real treat! We loved it.
Really enjoyed the walk, the fields were beautiful and having the dogs there was a bonus! Great day!
We had a lovely stay at this cottage! The place was spotless and well stocked, making everything super easy. Loved the dog-friendly walks just outside the door and meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was a highlight. The host was really friendly and quick to reply. Definitely coming back, great value! Highly recommend.
We needed a chill weekend for the dogs and ourselves and it was spot on. Lovely place, close to pubs and scenic walks. The dogs loved it so much, they didnt want to leave the car! Brilliant stay.
It was pretty standard, but honestly, the weather was lovely so we didnt hang around much. The hot tub was a real plus! No outdoor seating, so we grabbed a couple of chairs from a nearby supermarket - they worked fine, no fuss at all.
This place really is a good place. The hot tub was a highlight, perfect for unwinding. The property is well stocked and peaceful, just what we needed. The hosts are lovely too, couldnt recommend it enough! Definitely a spot to return to.
Great stay, the place had everything we could possibly need!
We had a fantastic stay! Sharon and Robert really went out of their way to make us feel at home, which we appreciated a lot. The place was spotlessly clean, super comfy and perfect for our dog Archie - felt totally secure. The location was just right, with loads of lovely walks nearby. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed, it was exactly what we needed. Would happily come back!
We had such a great stay! The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed, plus the hot tub was a real treat. The peaceful location was perfect for relaxing and exploring some lovely walks nearby. Honestly, we loved every minute of it!
We stayed at this charming little cottage and honestly, it was perfect for what we wanted. The peaceful setting was just what we needed to unwind. The hot tub was a real highlight and the place was spotless with all the bits we needed. Definitely coming back!
We loved staying here! The house was charming, nestled in such a peaceful countryside. The courtyard was lovely for relaxing and the hot-tub really made it special. Perfect for walks too!
We stayed at this place during a rainy December and honestly, the house was spot on! Its really well kitted out and super cosy, which was just what we needed. The bath was lovely and the shower was a decent size. The location is perfect if your dogs hate fireworks - total peace and quiet. And despite the plane noise, it didnt bother us at all. Thanks a lot!
We had such a lovely stay! The place was spot on and the hosts made us feel really welcomed and looked after. Everything was thought through, making our holiday totally enjoyable. Already looking forward to returning!
Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Highly recommended to friends!
We've been here twice now and absolutely love it. Already planning to return this year. Told our friends about it too-they're heading in February, can't wait!
We had an amazing stay at this lovely cottage! The owners are genuinely warm and helpful, making us feel right at home. The place is super cosy, with a charming half-timbered style that really adds character. The shower was powerful and the bed was so comfy we didnt want to get up! Parking right next to the cottage is a real bonus and its spotlessly clean. Perfect spot for scenic walks to Thaxted and exploring nearby villages. Well definitely come back!
We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners were super helpful but didnt bother us at all, which was great. The big fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around. The place had everything we needed and the hot tub was absolutely brilliant! Wed definitely come back and have already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a lovely break!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The hosts went above and beyond with their friendliness and helpfulness. The place was perfect - everything you could need. Such a lovely spot, were already planning to come back!
We loved staying here! The cottage was super cosy and perfectly tucked away for some peace, yet close enough to get to local shops easily. The hot tub and underfloor heating made it really special. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie were lovely hosts. Can't wait to return soon!
We love visiting in November-so peaceful and perfect for relaxing away from it all.
We loved the peaceful stay, perfect for dogs with the fully enclosed garden, truly relaxing!
Perfect size for us and very comfy too.
We really enjoyed our stay at Ballard Pod 4. The space was perfect for four of us and the hot tub was a lovely touch. Itd be great if there were a dustpan and brush, plus some hooks for coats and towels. Still, we had a lovely time!
We absolutely loved our stay at Goddard Mead! The cottage had everything we needed and the walks right from the doorstep were perfect. The hosts made us feel so welcome, really lovely people!
We didn't get the original room we booked because of a last-minute change, but honestly, if it was an upgrade, we're pretty happy it happened. Made the trip a bit more special!
Our accommodation was changed just before we arrived so we cant comment on what we had booked but to be honest, if this was an upgrade I'm glad this occurred.
We had such a lovely stay! The cottage was spotlessly clean and so well stocked, making everything really easy. The dog walks right outside were perfect for our pups. The host was super friendly and quick to reply. Meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was a real highlight. Well definitely return, great value for money!
This place is a real good place! Perfectly tucked away so you're peaceful, but still near shops and cafes. The hot tub is fantastic after a day out and the underfloor heating in the bathroom is a nice touch. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie are such lovely hosts-well be back soon!
Out lodge was spotless & staff friendly & helpful
Excellent lodge and loved how quiet the area was. My only advice is to take your own outdoor chairs. Unlike the photos there is no place to sit outside and the dining chairs were not comfy.
Couldn't recommend a stay here more. Quiet apart from my children and they had a ball, they loved the hot tub. They played in our little bit of garden and we were completely left alone. Staff were very helpful and always at hand when needed. Cabin was modern clean and a peaceful private good value break. Definitely recommend and definitely go back. 10 out of 10 from this family.
Nice relaxing break. Perfect location hidden away and nice to come back to when we've been out round Scotland to Glasgow and Edinburgh
Absaloutly amazing thank you we will be back
Fantastic 4 days away . It's says pod but I would call it a micro lodge , the pictures are spot on with what you get . It has only just opened so all is brand new and a couple of lodges were just being finished. Hot tub was excellent and for short break had plenty of room . Good oven and full size fridge freezer and bathroom bigger than static caravan . Had a great time on the beaches nearby plenty to go to and lots of superstores .
Thank you very much Arran hills hope to see you again
Had an excellent stay. Lodge was very clean and well equipped. Highly recommend.
We had a fantastic time -a perfect place to relax!
