We had a really lovely stay at this good place. The setting is so peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing away from the hustle. The owners were super friendly and always available if we needed anything, but they didnt intrude on the quiet. The hot tub was a real treat after cycling all day! Just a heads up, the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much after a while, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth knowing. Overall, a great place for a peaceful break!

We stayed in this lovely little place and honestly, its so well kitted out! It was really cosy and warm, which was a lifesaver on that rainy December day. The bath was perfect and the shower was a good size too. The location is great, especially if youve got dogs that dislike fireworks - its totally in the middle of nowhere. No bother about the planes either, didnt hear a thing! Thanks a lot!

We just spent four really nice nights at this cottage and honestly, it was lovely. The owners are super friendly but not overbearing, which we appreciated. The big fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around freely. The cottage had everything we could possibly need, including a great BBQ for a relaxed evening. And the hot tub? Absolutely brilliant! Were already thinking about coming back and telling our friends about it. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a fantastic stay at this cosy little cottage! Honestly, its so well equipped, we barely needed to bring anything and we ended up overloading the car just because everything was there. The welcome pack was a nice touch, full of useful info and menus, which made settling in so much easier. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was just the cherry on top. Sharon and RobeRead were quick to reply if we had any questions. Definitely a lovely break - well be back!

We had an amazing stay at this cosy cottage. The place is spotlessly kept and fully equipped - we wanted for nothing. The dog walks right outside the door made it perfect for our furry friends. The host was super friendly and quick to reply, plus meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was such a highlight. Well be back for sure. Great value and highly recommend!

We stayed here for a week in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, it was a lovely experience. The cottage itself is really charming and the hot tub was such a treat - especially during the scorching weather we had, it was cool and super refreshing. The hosts were genuinely friendly and made us feel very welcome. It was nice to see their dogs happily being taken to the fields each day. Being close to Stansted and on the flight path was actually quite fun to watch the planes come in. Wed definitely come back!

We loved staying at this cosy little cottage! Its perfectly tucked away for privacy but still near local shops and cafes. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept us super warm. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Cant wait to return!

We had a lovely stay at this charming spot tucked away in a peaceful setting. The owners were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, but they respected our privacy completely. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day cycling around the area. The only thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much after a while, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth mentioning. Overall, a great getaway!

We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and were really impressed. Rob and Sharon put so much effort into preserving the charm of this historic building, which makes it feel special from the moment you arrive. They greeted us warmly, along with Bonnie, which made us feel right at home. The location is fantastic-perfect for exploring Thaxted and surrounding villages. Wed definitely recommend taking the time to wander around, there's so much history to see!

We spent a week here in July with our two mini dachshunds and honestly, it was a lovely stay. The village of Thaxted is charming and the cottage itself is really cosy and well-kept. The hot tub was a real highlight, especially since it was scorching outside, so cooling off was perfect. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel welcome, which was great. We enjoyed watching the planes land since its close to Stansted and it added a bit of fun to our evenings. Would definitely stay again!

We had such a lovely stay! The hosts were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The cottage itself is adorable, with its charming half-timbered look and a really powerful shower that was much appreciated after long walks. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made it feel like a home away from home. Parking right next to the cottage was a real bonus and the place was spotless. Perfect for exploring Thaxted and the surrounding fields. Well definitely be back!
