The decor was stunning, Location was quiet and private, lovely and clean, very comfortable and Damien was so helpful, accommodating and quick with responses to any questions we had. I'm very glad we followed his recommendation to eat at the red lion...food was incredible! The property is very romantic for couples and also spacious outside for children. I loved it there so much, that we decided to stay an extra night. So relaxing and peaceful.

    Room refurb is great - we have used this place before for family as we live across the road. However, the room key fobs did not work at night so 3 couples were locked out. The on call member of staff did not respond to the calls. Our 4th member of the family had to get dressed and come down to let them in. This was not good.

    What a lovely quaint pub and hotel. The room is perfect for the overnight stay that we needed. We had a couple of drinks in the pub which is a beautiful 1600s old English pub and to top it off the owners could not have been more accommodating. We will definitely be back with the family for something to eat.

    A lovely welcome from the reception. The room was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was lovely and more than functional. The communal area was very pleasant. The parking was ok at the back of the hotel. The village of Thaxted was quiet and pretty. Would definitely use the hotel again.
