We had a lovely stay at this charming little spot. The privacy was spot on, tucked away in a peaceful area, yet the owners were really friendly and always there if we needed anything. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling - honestly, it was just what we needed. One thing to keep in mind, though - the cottage sits right under Stansteds flight path, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt spoil our trip at all. Would definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely spot, tucked away in a quiet, private setting that felt really special. The hosts were so friendly and helpful, always nearby if we needed anything, but still maintaining our privacy. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling, absolute bliss! One thing to keep in mind though, the cottage is right under the flight path, so theres quite a lot of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much after a while, but it might be a bit much if youre sensitive to noise. Still, wed definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay at this good place! The cottage sits peacefully on a working farm but feels totally private - perfect for relaxing. Robert and Sharon are genuinely lovely hosts, making us feel right at home. The place is super spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed thats perfect after a day exploring. The gardens completely dog-proof and great for unwinding. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxteds eateries like The Star and The Maypole are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!

We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and were really impressed. Rob and Sharon have done a lovely job converting the historic building with such care. They were incredibly welcoming when we arrived, making us feel right at home, along with Bonnies friendly presence. The location is perfect for exploring Essexs charming villages like Thaxted - its worth taking the time to wander around and soak in the history and beautiful architecture. Highly recommended for a relaxing break!

We just got back from a four-night stay at this cosy cottage and had a really nice time. The owners were super friendly but never intrusive, which was great. The fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around freely. The place had everything we needed and the hot tub was definitely a highlight! Weve already recommended it to friends and hope to come back soon. Thanks for a lovely break!

We had such a lovely weekend here! The place was perfect for what we needed and were already planning to return. Our dogs had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating and the garden to run around in. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it-cant blame her! Definitely a hit with both us and the pups!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely place tucked away in a peaceful spot. The owners were super friendly and really helpful when we needed anything, yet kept just the right amount of distance to preserve the privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling. Only thing to note is that the cottage is directly under Stansteds flight path, so aircraft noise is quite loud at times. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Would definitely recommend!
