We had a fantastic time at this lovely cottage! The place is super well-kept and fully equipped, making it feel really homely. Loved the easy access to dog walks right outside and the host was so friendly and quick to respond. Meeting the farm animals, especially curious Penelope the pig, was a real highlight. Definitely coming back-great value and highly recommended!

We stayed in a lovely, well-equipped house that was so cosy, especially on that rainy December day! The bath was perfect and the shower was surprisingly spacious. Even though it's near a flight path, we barely noticed any noise, so dont let that put you off. Its a great spot for dogs who dislike fireworks since its pretty remote. Thanks a lot, you!

Weve just come back from our second visit and already booked for next February! The place is perfect for winter family get-togethers. The big living area, pool table and hot tub mean we get plenty of fun indoors, especially when its chilly outside. The bedrooms and en-suites are spacious and give everyone a bit of privacy, which is really nice. The only tiny issues we noticed were a bit of a lack of storage in the bedrooms, no hooks in the bathroom and a limited selection of glasses. Honestly, these are small things that would make a big difference-like unpacking our bags and hanging towels instead of draping them over doors. Its such a minor thing, but it really would improve the stay. Thanks for another lovely break! Fingers crossed we can finally unpack properly next time!

We really loved the house and the decor is stunning. Just a few things: the glass table tops are a bit risky with kids around, as they could be pushed off easily. Also, more plates would help and the absence of a colander for veg or pasta was a bit annoying. The bottle opener was broken, too. No plastic cups for the hot tub either, only glass-wouldve been safer. But overall, a lovely stay!

We had a fantastic stay at The Meal House! The place was spotless and surprisingly roomy for just the two of us. Its decorated beautifully, with every little detail carefully considered - from dishwasher tablets to coffee pods and milk, which was a lovely touch since we usually bring our own. The hot tub was pristine and private, with stunning views and clear night skies that really made the trip special. Definitely somewhere wed return to!

We had a lovely time at Goddard's Mead. Rob and Sharon put so much effort into restoring this historic building and it really shows. They couldn't have been more welcoming and Bonnie was adorable too! The place has everything you need for a chilled stay. The locations perfect - right in the heart of Essex and wed definitely recommend exploring Thaxted and the nearby villages to soak up some of the local history. Definitely worth a visit!

We loved the cottage! Its nicely tucked away, so super peaceful but still close enough to shops and local spots. The hot tub was a highlight and the underfloor heating kept everything cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel really welcome. Cant wait to return!

The photos on the website are totally outdated, so its pretty misleading. We expected a cosy farmhouse with a big lounge for Christmas, but instead, most of the space was taken up by a pool table. Quite disappointing really, especially when planning family gatherings.

We had such a lovely weekend stay! The place was just what we needed and we really enjoyed our time here. Our dogs were so happy, especially with the underfloor heating-Luna couldnt stop wagging her tail! She even strained it according to the vet, but its all good. Well definitely be coming back soon. Absolutely loved it!

We had a lovely weekend with family over Christmas. The house was stunning, beautifully furnished and the hot tub was a real highlight. The only hiccup was the heating upstairs - we couldnt get it to warm the bedrooms properly. Still, weve been coming here for five years and love it!
