We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon put so much effort into converting this historic place and it really shows - its got a warm, welcoming vibe. Bonnie was adorable too! The locations perfect for exploring Essex - we spent ages wandering around Thaxted and other nearby villages. Its a great spot for a relaxing break and wed definitely recommend it if youre into discovering charming old towns and their stories. Definitely a place to visit!

We stayed at Goddard's Mead and were genuinely impressed. The owners, Rob & Sharon, have done a lovely job converting the historic building with care and respect. They greeted us warmly, along with Bonnie, which made us feel right at home. The location is perfect for exploring Essex-definitely take a bit of time to wander around Thaxted and the nearby villages; the history and architecture are quite fascinating. Its a really relaxing spot for sure!

We had a fantastic stay! The house was really well kitted out and super cosy, perfect for the rainy December weather. The bath was a real treat and the shower was great too. Being on a flight path didnt bother us at all, honestly! Ideal spot for dogs scared of fireworks since its so remote. Gorgeous place, nicely converted - well be back for sure! Thanks a lot!

We had such a lovely weekend stay here! The place ticked all our boxes and we felt right at home. Our dogs especially adored the underfloor heating and the garden - Luna was wagging her tail non-stop! She even strained it, but the vet says its from all the excitement. Well definitely come back, it was a great break!

We just got back from a fantastic four-night stay at this cosy cottage. The owners are really lovely-friendly but never overbearing and theyre there if you need anything. The big fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around freely. The place was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and we even enjoyed a BBQ one evening. The hot tub was absolutely brilliant! Wed definitely come back and already told our friends about it. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage, tucked away on a working farm but still very private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are absolutely lovely and made us feel really welcome. The place is surprisingly spacious and the kitchen and bathroom are well equipped - everything you need. The bed was super comfy too! The garden is perfect for dogs, totally secluded and furnished nicely. We enjoyed some great walks nearby and tried a few restaurants in Thaxted, especially The Star and The Maypole - highly recommend! Definitely a place wed visit again.
