"Our Loch Tay Highland Lodge Park review: We recently stayed at this charming cottage on a working farm and it was such a peaceful escape. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are lovely and very welcoming. The place itself is really spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The bed was super comfy and the garden was perfect for our dog-completely secluded and safe, with nice furniture. There are plenty of walks nearby and we loved exploring the area. Thaxted has some cracking restaurants, especially The Star and The Maypole. The Swan and Indian are worth a mention too. Definitely a place wed recommend!"

"We stayed here recently and really enjoyed the place - its lovely and the room was super clean. However, the shower was a bit disappointing; its fed from an electric heater under the sink, so the water heat was inconsistent. Also, the kitchen only had a smoke alarm in the bedroom, which unfortunately went faulty during the night, waking us up quite suddenly. Bit of a letdown, but overall, its a decent spot."

"We had a fantastic stay at this lovely place, tucked away in such a peaceful spot. The owners were genuinely friendly and always ready to help, yet they respected our privacy perfectly. The hot tub was a real treat after a long cycle day - so relaxing! Only thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to Stansted's flight path, so you do get quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much after a while, but it might be a consideration if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, a great find!"

"We booked this place for a dog walking break and it was just what we needed. Lovely accommodation, plenty of nearby pubs and restaurants and endless fields for walks. The dog loved it and wouldnt get in the car to leave!"
George - Jul 2024
"We had such a lovely stay in this charming little place. The setting is really peaceful and private, perfect for unwinding. The owners were super friendly and always there if we needed anything, but it never felt like they were intruding. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long cycle day! Only thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so you do get quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt spoil our trip, but if youre really sensitive, its worth considering. Overall, a fab spot!"
Harriet - Jul 2024
"We had such a lovely stay in this charming little cottage. The location is really private and peaceful, perfect for unwinding. The owners were super friendly and helpful, always nearby if we needed anything but respecting our privacy. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling - bliss! Only thing to note is that its right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if youre sensitive to noise, its something to consider. All in all, a great find!"
Amelia Carter - Jun 2024

Lizzie - Jun 2024
"We had a wonderful stay at this charming little spot. The setting is stunning and really private, which we loved. The owners are super friendly and always ready to help if needed, but you still feel like you have your own space. The hot tub was a real treat after cycling all day! Only thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of noise from planes. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but its worth mentioning if noise bugs you. Overall, a lovely place!"
Raj Patel - May 2024

Clara - May 2024
"We needed a quick escape for dog walking and this place was spot on. Lovely cosy accommodation, plenty of nearby pubs and eateries, plus endless fields and trails. The dog loved it, didnt want to leave!"
Sam - Mar 2024
"We stayed here for a week in July with our two mini daschunds and honestly, the dogs loved it! They made plenty of new friends in the charming village of Thaxted. The cottage itself is really lovely, especially the hot tub - perfect after those scorching hot days, since the water was cooled and super refreshing. The hosts were warm and friendly, it was nice to see them taking the dogs to the fields every day. Sure, it's near Stansted's flight path, but I quite enjoyed watching the planes land. Would definitely stay again!"
Rachel - Mar 2024
"We had such a lovely weekend here! The place was just perfect for what we needed and were already planning to return. Our dogs really enjoyed the garden and the underfloor heating-Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it! Honestly, it made the whole trip even better. Definitely a place wed recommend to others!"
Jamie - Feb 2024

Alexis Carter - Jan 2024
"We had such a lovely stay! The owners were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help us. The cottage itself is adorable, with its charming half-timbered style and a really good shower - not always easy to find! The living space felt cosy and the bed was super comfy. Parking right next to the cottage was a bonus and it was spotlessly clean. Plus, plenty of nice walks around Thaxted, which made the trip even better. Would definitely recommend!"
