Whitbarrow - Reviews

Our family vacation here is one to remember. We had so much to do in the time we stayed here. The facilities were amazing. Sauna, swimming pool, hot tub in our apartment were all enjoyable . The kids played crazy golf, fed the ducks and played giant chess and It kept them occupied for long. The surrounding area was surreal.

We stayed here for a week in July with our two tiny dachshunds and honestly, they loved every minute! The village of Thaxted is charming and the cottage itself is really lovely. The hot tub was a real treat, especially during the scorching weather, as it cooled the water just right for a refreshing dip. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel welcome, which was nice. Watching the planes land near Stansted was surprisingly entertaining too! Overall, wed definitely recommend for a relaxed getaway with your furry friends.

We had such a lovely stay here! The cottages peaceful setting was perfect for unwinding and the hot tub was definitely a highlight. Everything was spotless and well-equipped. Plenty of scenic walks nearby and the whole village felt so charming. Highly recommend!

The lodge had everything you could need - dishwasher, washing machine, TVs in every bedroom plus USB ports. Spacious and clean. The hot tub was well maintained and at perfect temperature- ideal at the end of the day to chill out on the private terrace. Really lovely place.

We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage. The owners were genuinely warm and helpful, making us feel very welcome. The property itself is charming, with traditional features like the half-timbered design and a lovely, strong shower. The bed was super comfy and the kitchen/living area felt really homely. Parking right next to the cottage was a bonus and the place was spotlessly clean. Perfect for exploring Thaxted and its beautiful walks across the fields!

We had a really relaxing stay at this place. The property is well kitted out and peaceful, perfect for some quiet time. Loved the hot tub! Nice folks running it too. Definitely a great escape from busy life.

We had a lovely stay! The owners were so friendly and helpful, especially when the storm knocked out the power. The place was super clean, warm and perfect for our dog with the enclosed garden. The hot tub was a bonus!

We had a fantastic week here from 15 to 22 July with our two tiny dachshunds who loved every minute, especially making friends in the charming village of Thaxted. The cottage itself is gorgeous and the hot tub was a real highlight, especially since it was so hot outside-cooling the water made it super refreshing. The hosts were really friendly and welcoming and it was lovely to see their horses being taken out daily. Being near Stansteds flight path was interesting; watching planes land added a bit of fun to our stay. Wed definitely come back!

We had a fantastic weekend at this place! Everything about it suited us perfectly. The garden was a hit, especially for our dogs - Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, according to the vet! The underfloor heating kept us cosy and honestly, were already planning to come back. Great spot, really loved it!

We had an amazing weekend here! The place was just what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. The garden was perfect for the dogs and they couldnt get enough of the underfloor heating - Luna was wagging her tail like crazy all weekend! Honestly, the pups were happier than us. Well definitely be returning soon!

Really enjoyed the kids' area

Weve visited a few times now and honestly, its the little things that keep us coming back. The gardens are always tidy, the buildings look great and the rooms are spotless. The BBQ on Tuesday was fantastic-loved the variety of cold dishes and meats. Looks like everyone else enjoyed the burgers and chicken too, they kept going back for more!

We really enjoyed our stay! The place was lovely and we're already planning to return soon.

We stayed at the Caldew and were lucky enough to be upgraded to a Troutbeck cottage with three bedrooms. We didnt really need that many, but it was lovely anyway. The only thing we noticed was the low ceilings on the Caldew, especially since my partner is over 6ft. Still, overall a nice stay!

We loved the place-spotless, comfy and well equipped. The hot tub was definitely a highlight!

We had a lovely stay! Sharon and Robert really made us feel at home and were such friendly hosts. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and safe for Archie, which was a big plus. The location was perfect - lots of lovely walks and exploring nearby villages like Thaxted. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed. All in all, a top-notch break and wed happily come back again!

Good overall experience

We had such a lovely time! The place was really well thought out, spotlessly clean and the hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. Honestly, it felt like a home away from home. Can't wait to come back!

We loved exploring the charming village theyve built here. The Skiddow was really close to the car park and main areas like reception, restaurant and bar, which was super convenient. The cottage was spotless, roomy and cosy. The kitchen had all the basics. Overall, a great stay-well be back for sure!

Lovely village they have created the Skiddow wasn't far from the car park or other the main reception, restaurant and bar area.The cottage was clean, spacious and warm. The kitchen was a good size and had basic equipment for those wanting the carer for themselves.Was a lovely experience and would definitely go back

Really enjoyed the stay, though a king size bed wouldve been perfect. Cheers!

Pretty cosy place, has all the essentials youd want.

Great kitchen, everything was super comfy too!

Kitchen really well equipped and everything comfortable

The place was stunning, spotless and so cosy. The hot tub was definitely the highlight! Loved it.

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners are genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The place itself is cosy, beautifully kept and spotlessly clean. The shower is powerful, which was a nice surprise and the bed was super comfy. Parking right next to the property is very convenient. Plus, the walks around the fields to Thaxted are absolutely stunning and easy to get to. Definitely recommend!

Great spot, really enjoyed staying here!

We loved the peaceful vibe here. The hosts were super friendly and the hot tub was a real highlight. Perfect for a cosy getaway with pets!

It's the first time for us there and we will be back very enjoyable
Staff were fabulous thank you ?

Excellent setup and location in need of balconies painting and restaurant closed 2 days, which we understand due to short taff in the kitchen but the bar could of been open.
All in we have stayed 10 times and will make it 11 then 12+

We stayed in Caldew 1, myself, my husband and two children aged 7 and 11. The contact free check in worked very well. I arranged an online shop for an hour after we arrived at reception. This was great but next time would meet the van in the guest car park as there is more space. The lodge was well equipped and very clean. The children used the swimming pool twice a day which was fantastic. Our hot tub was serviced every day and we had lots of fun using that. Places I would recommend a visit to with children are - Lowther Castle (huge adventure play area), Aira Force (the kids played in the stream for hours), and Brougham Castle. We packed lunches everyday which saved money. A big thank you to the reception staff at Whitbarrow Village who worked hard to make our stay enjoyable. My daughter particularly enjoyed feeding the ducks with the food you gave her

Staff were very kind and attentive. The entire place is spotless

We had a fantastic few nights
Surroundings are stunning as is the accommodation and facilities.
Very calming place and lots for the kids.
We really enjoyed the pool which was spotlessly clean.
The staff were lovely and so helpful at the main reception.
Food in the restaurant was delicious.
We would return tomorrow ?

The site had lovely outdoor areas and plenty to keep kids amused mini golf and the swimming pool were a big hit. Great location for exploring the lakes really easy to get to everywhere.
