We only booked the day before but Mrs Sorrell was very helpful and friendly. We popped in to Thaxted on the way to the site and can recommend a stroll through the little town with its ancient guild hall, windmill, quaint alms houses and Dick Turpins Cottage. We had a very reasonable meal in the Swan pub, opposite the church. There is also the added bonus of a free car park, with a dedicated area for motorhomes/caravans - thank you Thaxted Parish Council! Wished we had more time at Holly Oak Farm, it was peaceful and in a lovely location. There looked to be plenty of footpaths for a great walk. We certainly hope to go back next year, for a little longer.
