5 star lodge! Our first words were wow! The setting was perfect and the lodge was so beautiful inside and out. Very clean and the attention to detail was spot on. The lodge had everything we needed as a family and more. The welcome pack was a great touch and well received. The lodge is decorated beautifully and all the furniture is clean and very comfortable. Housekeeping do a fantastic job. The seating area outside gave a great view and the hot tub, perfect. Highly recommend this lodge.

We had a fantastic stay in one of the hotels pet friendly fairground lodges. The accommodation was spotless and there was a very generous welcome bag with lots of essentials and some lovely treats too. Even the dog had things left for him. Having park access throughout our stay too was fantastic especially with a toddler! Cannot recommend Folly Farm enough, thank you for a wonderful visit.

Lovely lodge, great size, spotlessly clean and the welcome pack was a bonus you really dont need to take much! Washing up liquid, tea towels, loo roll, dishwasher tablets, tea, coffee, sugar, bread, butter and milk were just some of the offerings. Towels and linen all provided as per lodge amenities describes. Hot tubs checked twice daily.

We had a really lovely stay at this cottage! Its tucked away on a working farm, but feels super private and peaceful. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely people. The place itself is spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that made us feel right at home. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely secluded with nice furniture. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxteds restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!

We just got back from a fantastic four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are really friendly and helpful but not intrusive, which was perfect. The big fenced garden was great for our dog to run around freely. The place had everything we needed and the hot tub was absolutely brilliant! We even used the BBQ one evening. Definitely planning to come back and already told friends about it. Thanks for a lovely break!

We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and were really impressed. Rob and Sharon clearly put a lot of effort into converting this historic building with care and respect. They were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived and Bonnie made it even more special. The location is perfect for exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages-so much history and charming architecture to enjoy. Its a really relaxing spot and wed definitely recommend it if you're after a cosy getaway!

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying here! Honestly, we didnt want to leave at all. The lodges are truly luxurious, with such attention to detail - plus, they greeted us with a lovely local goodie bag which was a nice touch. The handsoap and toiletries, all made locally, were just divine! We stayed in the Torwen lodge; it was spotless, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a comfy stay. The hot tub was a real highlight - so relaxing! What we really appreciated was the unlimited entry to Folly Farm, which included our arrival and departure days. We managed to explore so much, from Tenby to Haverfordwest and theres plenty of food options nearby, including takeaways. We ordered a Chinese from Dragon Palace, which was delicious and they deliver right to the site. The staff were fantastic - always at the end of the phone, making sure everything was perfect. Well definitely be coming back soon!

We stayed at this lodge recently and it was really lovely. The place was spotless and the hot tub was well-kept and relaxing. The sofa wasnt the most comfy after a while, but overall, a great stay with high standards. Definitely recommend!

We had another fantastic stay at Simba Lodge recently. Its our second visit and honestly, it didnt disappoint. Everything was just as lovely as before-super clean, fresh and well-equipped. We did bring some extra towels because the hot tub was so popular and used quite a lot. The kitchen had everything we needed and the toiletries in the bathroom were a nice touch. Beds are incredibly comfy and having the smart TV and good WiFi really made our evenings relaxing. The only tiny gripe is that the shop was closed a couple of times when we wanted to pop in, but we get that its off-season and not always feasible to stay open. Maybe shorter hours could work better? Still, thats a minor point. Overall, wed definitely recommend Simba Lodge and are already looking at next years booking!

All in all, a great break and wed happily come back again!

We had such a great time with the Showmans Wagon! The kids loved it and kept talking about it all day. Every time we got back on site, they were buzzing. Seeing it from the Ferris Wheel was definitely a highlight for them!

We spent a week here in July with our two tiny dachshunds and honestly, the place was lovely. The cottage itself is cosy and charming and the hot tub was such a treat - especially since we hit the hottest days of the year! It was great to see the hosts being so welcoming; you could tell they genuinely care. Watching the planes land near Stansted added a bit of excitement, even if its on the flight path. Our dogs loved making friends in the village of Thaxted and wed definitely recommend this spot for a relaxing getaway. Wed come back for sure!

We stayed at this cosy cottage and loved the peaceful vibe, especially relaxing in the hot tub. Just a heads-up about the night planes from Stansted, though! Definitely worth it for a quiet escape.

We had a lovely stay at this charming place, tucked away in a peaceful spot. The hosts were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, while still respecting our privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day exploring on bikes! One thing to keep in mind, the cottage is directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip at all. Would definitely recommend!
