Nice mobile home. very comfy bed.
The place was really lovely, super peaceful and perfect for our dogs with that enclosed garden.
Great experience overall
Really enjoyed our stay here. The place is super peaceful and clean, hosts are friendly and the hot tub is just perfect for relaxing evenings. Loved the enclosed garden for our dog! Definitely recommend for couples looking to unwind.
We had such a lovely stay at this cottage! Its tucked away on a working farm but feels really private and peaceful. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely and make you feel at home. The place is super spacious and the kitchen and bathroom are well equipped. The bed was incredibly comfy, which was a bonus. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely secluded and furnished nicely. Plenty of walks nearby and the local restaurants in Thaxted, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!
The bed was super comfy and surprisingly, the duvet was just perfect despite the warm weather. We slept like logs! Had a fantastic holiday overall, really enjoyed every bit of it. Would definitely recommend!
We really enjoyed the cottage, perfect for a peaceful escape. The hot tub was a highlight! Just a heads up, planes can be a bit noisy at night, being close to Stansted.
We had such a great weekend stay here! Everything about it was just what we needed. The dogs absolutely adored the underfloor heating and they had a blast running around in the garden. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it-poor girl! Definitely planning to return soon. Happy pups, happy us! Its a lovely spot.
We had a lovely time exploring the fields with the dogs, really enjoyed the peaceful walk.
Loved the wide sandy beach, perfect for family days out. The accommodation was spotless and super comfy. Owners were lovely and attentive - really appreciated the personal touch!
We had a lovely stay at this peaceful spot. Sharon and Robert really go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and relaxed. Its our second time here and definitely not the last. Cant wait to return!
We just got back from a fantastic four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are really friendly and helpful without being intrusive - theyre there if you need anything. The big fenced garden was perfect for our dog to roam around freely. The place had everything we could possibly need, including a great BBQ. The hot tub was a real highlight! Were already telling friends to check it out and definitely plan to come back. Thanks for a lovely break!
We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage! Honestly, we didn't need to pack much because everything was already there-so well equipped. The welcome pack with info and menus was a thoughtful touch. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden, which was a real bonus and the hot tub was just fantastic after a long day. Sharon and Rob were quick to respond if we had questions, which made everything so easy. Thanks for making our break so special - well definitely be back!
Great stay, will definitely come back!
Really enjoyed our stay. The place was super peaceful and spotless. Hosts were warm and friendly. The hot tub was a real highlight, perfect for relaxing!
We had a fantastic week at this cosy cottage with our two mini daschunds. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, especially during the really hot days when the water was nicely cooled and super refreshing. The hosts were genuinely friendly and made us feel really welcome, which was lovely. Watching the planes land near Stansted was actually quite interesting, even if youre on the flight path. The village of Thaxted is charming and perfect for a peaceful getaway. All in all, wed happily recommend it for a relaxing break with your furry friends!
Really enjoyed the stay, the coast was perfect for us.
The cottage was really charming and perfect for our needs. Loved the peaceful setting away from busy areas. The hot tub was a highlight! Owners were super friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Theyve got it just right!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was super well equipped and kept us cosy despite the rain. The bath was perfect for relaxing and the shower was great too. Being near the flight path didnt bother us at all, honestly. Its a perfect spot if youve got dogs that hate fireworks, totally peaceful. Beautifully converted and in a lovely quiet area. Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed our stay, the place had everything needed.
Comfortable stay overall, thanks.
We loved the peaceful setting and the fully enclosed garden, perfect for our dogs to relax.
We had an amazing stay at this cottage! The place is super well kept and fully equipped, making it feel really homely. The dog walks right outside meant we could enjoy the countryside without any hassle. The host was lovely, very friendly and quick to reply. Meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was a real highlight. Well definitely return-such great value! Highly recommend.
We had an amazing stay at the cottage! The location was perfect, super peaceful and really relaxing. The farm surroundings were stunning and we loved seeing the horses. The owners were lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a spot wed come back to for a quiet getaway!
Really enjoyed our weekend here, the place was perfect for a peaceful anniversary escape. Would definitely come back!
The caravan had plenty of space and was spotlessly clean, which we really appreciated. The TV wasnt the best, but the wind might have affected it. Overall, quite a nice stay!
We had a lovely stay and Sharon and Robert really made us feel at home. The place had everything we needed-clean, comfy and secure for our dog Archie. The location was perfect for walks and exploring Thaxted and nearby villages was a real treat. Honestly, we felt totally recharged after a relaxing week away. Definitely recommend if you're after a peaceful break with friendly hosts!
Loads of room in the caravan nice and clean, the tv wasnt great if i am honest but it was really windy so that might of been the reason
Absolutely loved it! Filled with stunning images and memories Ill cherish forever.
Lovely place to stay, friendly, great beach, very enjoyable holiday
We have been visiting castaways for three years now and couldn't fault anything it's such a peaceful place and dog friendly
Ideal location to relax
Right on the beach which we loved and dogs allowed so perfect the beach is a lovely long sandy beach. Caravan was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location for hitting other tourist hotspots and a lovely fish and chip shop a five minute drive away. Exactly what we were looking forward and we will definitely be back next year.
Hopefully, we will go again next year! Loved it! Caravan steps very steep and could do with changing but apart from that, perfect in every way!
Awesome cant say much more.
We had a lovely weekend away on this site. Check in in was easy. The lady on reception was lovely and friendly and the process was very quick. The mobile home we stayed in was front line so it had great views of the beach. The beach was literally down a few steps (we stayed in caravan 9 - pet friendly). You could walk for miles in either direction and dogs were allowed on the beach. The food we had was lovely. I had the hunters chicken, kids had burgers. tasted good and bar staff were very friendly. Entertainment, the evening we went in was a singer, she was great and the bar/restaurant filled up as the evening went on. We also tried the Chinese which is a very short drive/walk to. I can recommend that too, with good prices. Family of 5 was about £80 and we ate a lot! The site is about 30 min drive to Great Yarmouth and 20 mins to Cromer. There was a park also on site but my kids didn't use it, they were too busy on the beach.
