We had a really relaxing stay at this lovely spot. The privacy was just perfect and the owners were genuinely friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling, which we loved. One thing to note is that the cottage sits directly under Stansted's flight path, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip. Definitely a place wed return to!

The cottage was just perfect for us, nestled away from the busy areas. The hot tub was a real highlight and the owners were incredibly friendly without being overbearing. We loved it!

We stayed at this lovely cottage and honestly, the owners are some of the nicest weve come across. Theyre super helpful and genuinely friendly. The place itself is adorable - a traditional half-timbered home with a really strong shower, cosy kitchen and lounge, plus a super comfy bed. Parking right outside is a real plus.

We stayed for a week over the February half term with our mum, two kids and two dogs. The cottage was spotless when we arrived and the manager gave us such a warm welcome, which was lovely. Despite having other guests around, it was surprisingly peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing break. We enjoyed some fantastic walks with the dogs each day and the onsite swimming pool was so clean and inviting - such a shame we didn't have enough time to make the most of it! The hot tub was a real highlight, huge and at just the right temperature, which the kids loved. The kitchen was a bit tight for space, but manageable since we're used to a bigger one at home. It might help to have scissors and a gravy jug there. One thing that was a bit annoying was the hot tub being drained on checkout morning without any warning - the kids were really disappointed not to have a last dip. The garden was flooded too, so we couldnt let the dogs out, but overall, it was a lovely stay!
