We had such a lovely stay at the cottage! The location was perfect - super peaceful and really relaxing. The farm nearby is gorgeous and we loved seeing the horses. The owners were very friendly and made sure we had everything. Definitely recommend if you're after a quiet getaway. Wed go back!

We loved staying here! The cottage felt so secluded yet was close enough to town for essentials. The hot tub was fantastic after a day out and the underfloor heating kept us cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel right at home. Can't wait to return!

We stayed at this lovely cottage recently and honestly, it was a fantastic experience. The owners are genuinely warm and thoughtful, making us feel right at home. The place itself is charming with its traditional half-timbered style and the shower is surprisingly powerful-perfect after a long walk. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made our stay even better. Plus, parking right next door was a real bonus. Its spotlessly clean, well-heated and perfect for exploring the local village and countryside. Well definitely return!

The lodge was cosy but smart, with all the essentials youd need. The bed was really comfy and made for a good sleep. We only stayed four nights but felt like we couldve easily stayed longer. Definitely coming back!

The place was so calm and perfect for unwinding, plus our dog loved the secure garden! Definitely recommend.

We stayed here for our daughters wedding nearby and honestly, it had its ups and downs. The place was comfy enough and with the weather being a bit grim, the heating was a real lifesaver-especially for my parents in their 80s. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, which made a difference. That said, the cottage did lack a few basics-no toilet roll, no mirror and the bathroom bin wasnt emptied, which was a bit disappointing. Also, no safety rails on the stairs and not a full set of crockery. Still, we appreciated the warm welcome!

The crockery situation was a bit tight for just three of us and clear instructions on how to operate the central heating wouldve been useful. Not ideal!

Rob and Sharon really put a lot of love into transforming this historic building and it shows. From the warm welcome they gave us, to Bonnies friendly fussing, it felt like staying with friends. The place itself is comfortable and perfect for relaxing. We loved exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages-such charming spots with so much history. If you're after a cosy getaway in Essex, this is definitely worth a visit!

The cottage is lovely and perfect for a peaceful getaway. The only thing to note is the noise from planes at night, but the hot tub makes up for it completely!

We just got back from a four-night stay at this charming cottage and honestly, we loved it! The owners are really friendly but not in-your-face, which was perfect. The big fenced garden was a godsend for our dog to run around freely. Inside, everything was well-equipped - we even used the BBQ one evening. The hot tub was a real highlight! Were already planning to come back and have recommended it to friends. Thanks for a lovely break!

Great caravan, very new and spotless!
