wonderful stay
Very smart and comfortable. Bed was surprisingly comfortable too
Good holiday location for fishing. Well stocked shop with everything you need.
Really enjoyed our stay here, the place was super cosy, spotless and had everything we needed. Lovely hot tub!
Really pleased with our stay, everything was spot on, though we didnt get round to trying the facilities.
We had a wonderful, restful getaway. The cottage was spotless, well-stocked with all essentials plus some lovely little touches. Highly recommend!
Beautiful place, so calm and perfect for our dogs with that fully enclosed garden. We loved it!
Relaxing spot, perfect for unwinding after a busy week.
We had such a relaxing stay here! The place is peaceful and well-stocked, perfect for unwinding. The hot tub was a real treat and everyone was so friendly. If you're after some quiet time, this is ideal!
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The seating was a bit low and tricky to get up from, especially for us, but thats probably our fault. A better mattress and some hooks in the bathroom would be great, but no complaints really. Lovely break!
All good but found seating low hard to get up from (our fault for being on the large side) Better bed mattress could be put in. No hooks in bathroom for clothes.Dont want to find fault as we enjoyed our break.
Such a lovely view, really peaceful and calming.
We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead! The cottage had everything we needed and was super cosy. Plus, the walks right outside were perfect. The hosts were genuinely lovely and made us feel so welcome.
We had an amazing stay at the cottage! The location is perfect - so peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by stunning farml and and horses. The owners were super friendly and really helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Honestly, wed recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet escape. Definitely coming back!
We had a really lovely stay at this cottage. The place is super well-kept and fully equipped, making it feel homey right away. There are loads of nice dog walks just outside the door, which was perfect for our pooches. The host was lovely, friendly and quick to respond. We especially enjoyed meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig! Definitely coming back, great value for money. Highly recommend!
Had a lovely weekend here, perfect for a peaceful anniversary getaway. Definitely recommend this place!
We had a lovely stay at this cottage! The owners are genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help us. The place is super charming, with a beautiful half-timbered look and a really good shower. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made it feel like a home away from home. Parking right outside was a big plus and the whole place was spotlessly clean. Great for walks too and easy to get to Thaxted and its lovely windmill. Definitely recommend!
We loved the cosy feel of the cottage, especially the log burner and hot tub. The hosts were lovely, very welcoming. Cant wait to come back!
We had a lovely time staying here! Sharon and Robert really went out of their way to make us feel at home, which we appreciated a lot. The place was spotless, cosy and perfect for Archie, our dog. The location was spot on, with lots of scenic walks nearby and Thaxted and the surrounding villages are definitely worth exploring. Honestly, it was just what we needed for a proper break. Cheers!
We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which we appreciated. The garden is big, fenced and perfect for our dog to run around freely. The place had everything we needed in the kitchen and we even enjoyed a barbecue one evening. The hot tub was fantastic! Were already planning to come back and have told friends about it. Thanks for a lovely break!
Lovely stay, really enjoyed the cosy cottage and the friendly hosts, plus that jacuzzi! Definitely coming back.
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was charming and peaceful, perfect for a quiet getaway. Owners were super friendly without being pushy at all. Definitely recommend!
Really enjoyed our stay, the owners went above and beyond. Everything was well thought out and super relaxing. Highly recommend!
Great space, clean and had everything needed.
Clean spacious and all that we needed
The caravan feels quite old-fashioned and could use some proper sprucing up. The outside area is messy and those planters definitely need some attention. Not the best experience.
We loved the cottage! Perfectly tucked away for peace but still near shops and local spots. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept everything nice and warm. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Can't wait to return for a longer stay!
Waiting to try it out
We spent a week here in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, they loved every minute! The village of Thaxted is charming and friendly, perfect for dog walks and exploring. The cottage itself is really lovely - the hot tub was definitely a highlight, especially with the weather being so hot; it cooled the water just enough to be super refreshing. The hosts were warm and welcoming and it was lovely to see their dogs out and about too. Being close to Stansteds flight path didnt bother us at all; watching the planes was quite interesting. Wed definitely come back!
Really enjoyed the walk, the fields were perfect for us and the dogs loved it too!
We had a very nice stay.
We had a nice holiday,staff very helpful. We would recomand . Thank you.
Fabulous site. Amazing staff. Lovely modern caravan. We will be back!
Excellent caravan, local pubs and the location is ideal for York
Site is quiet and being situated around the lake made the weekend a relaxing break
Fantastic!!
Great place clean an peacefull
A nice site, excellent 2 bed mobile home with restaurant, swimming pool and lake on site. Easy to find off the motorway and not far from York, Leeds and other towns. Would definitely return.
Beautiful small site, perfect for a quiet break. Lovely area to visit, Staff really friendly and helpful. Caravan is one of the best we have stayed in. Lovely layout.
Spent a lovely few days away here at this park.It was very quiet but that was probably because of the time of the year.The club and restaurant was only open at the weekend and we were only there Monday to Friday so we missed out on this.I would certainly go back again.
Lovely stay in a clean and comfortable place. Didn't want to come home at the end of the week.
Lovely holiday. Great caravan park. Caravan lovely and clean.
