Each suite benefits from access to a shared courtyard, as well as a wild-flower meadow. Short walking distance from Thaxted centre, and convenient for Stansted Airport, Saffron Walden, and Great Dunmow. Ample guest parking is available. High-speed internet is also provided free of charge.
The accommodation is a family run business, managed by brothers Paul & Michael. We pride ourselves in providing quality experiences and at affordable rates. We have lived in Essex all our lives and running and cycling in the beautiful local countryside. We look forward to hosting you.
The town of 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. Thaxted is famous not least of all for its Morris Ring and hosts a Morris weekend each year. This takes place the first weekend after the Spring Bank Holiday when hundreds of dancers meet to entertain the town and surrounding villages. The annual Thaxted Music Festival takes place in June/July and is held in the spectacular setting of the Church.
