Thaxted Holiday Cottages
Beautifully situated in rolling countryside convenient for
Great Dunmow, Stansted and Colchester
Mill View and Orchard Cottage are set well back from the road and are mirror-images of each other; each has a patio area and backs on to a two and a half acre meadow. This attractive rural location is only a few minutes walk from a choice of pubs, a restaurant, shops and bus services.
Interior
Each cottage comprises a sitting/dining room with a TV, video, radio, CD and cassette players; a well equipped modern kitchen with fridge, freezer, gas hob, electric oven, washing machine, microwave and coffee machine; a family bedroom containing a double bed and full size bunk beds with lovely views from the Velux windows and an en-suite bathroom.
The cottages have wooden floors downstairs, carpet in the bedroom and ceramic tiles in the bathroom. Bedlinen and towels are included in the price.
Bed and Breakfast suites are also available.
Outside
Ample car parking space is available. The cottages back onto meadowland and guests are virtually guaranteed glorious sunsets from their own patio. A small orchard provides a shady area with additional seating - a very relaxing place to read a book or just take a well earned rest.
Local area
The rural location is ideal for relaxing with good amenities within a short walk. The area is also good for touring the surrounding villages of Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
Thaxted grew around a Saxon settlement along the old Roman road and boasts a magnificent 14th century church, a half-timbered Guildhall and a restored windmill. The annual Thaxted Music Festival takes place in June/July and is held in the spectacular setting of the Church.
