We had a lovely time at the cottage, which is tucked away on a working farm but still feels very private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely and welcoming. The place itself is really spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed thats perfect for relaxing. The garden is a real bonus - secluded, dog-proof and furnished nicely. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted has some cracking restaurants like The Star and The Maypole. Wed definitely recommend it!

Really enjoyed our time here. The place was spotless, well-equipped and that hot tub was a highlight!
We stayed for a couple of nights and honestly, it felt a bit pricey for what we got. The place was comfy, especially the beds and pillows, which made a big difference. The facilities like the hairdryer, iron and ironing board were handy. The sofas were nice, though there were a few light stains. Overall, the place was clean and cosy, but we did find a dirty sock behind the curtain in the main bedroom and a packet of sweets under the twin bed, so a bit more attention to cleaning would help. Still, wed consider coming back!

We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful but never intrusive, which was perfect. Our dog loved the big fenced garden - great for peace of mind. The place had everything we needed, including a fully stocked kitchen and a lovely hot tub. We even used the BBQ one night! Already recommended it to friends and wed definitely come back. Thanks for a great time!
Lovely stay, super friendly hosts and that jacuzzi was definitely a highlight for us.

We had a really lovely stay. Sharon and Robert are such welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home from the start. The place was spotless, comfy and perfect for Archies safety. The locations spot on - loads of nice walks and charming villages like Thaxted nearby. We definitely felt refreshed after our week away. It was just what we needed for a relaxing break and wed happily come back!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was super well equipped and kept us warm during that rainy December weather. The bath was lovely and the shower was spacious-just what we needed. The location is perfect, especially for our dogs who aren't fans of fireworks; being in the middle of nowhere really helped. And the place itself is beautifully converted. Thanks a lot!
We had a lovely time! Lindsy was super helpful and made everything easy. The place was spotless and just right for our dogs, with a garden for them to run around. We relaxed in the hot tub with some drinks. Definitely coming back next year, cant wait! Would recommend to everyone.
