We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and were genuinely impressed. The owners, Rob and Sharon, have put so much care into converting this historic building and it shows. They greeted us warmly, along with Bonnie, which made us feel right at home. The location is fantastic-perfect for exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages. We loved wandering around and soaking up the history and charming architecture. Definitely a place wed visit again!

We had a great stay at this lovely cottage nestled on a working farm, yet it feels surprisingly private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely and welcoming. The place is super spacious, with everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. The bed was so comfy, we slept like logs! The garden is perfect for dogs-completely secluded and well-furnished. Plenty of scenic walks nearby and Thaxteds restaurants, especially The Star and The Maypole, are worth checking out. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic week at this charming place from 15 to 22 July with our two mini daschund girls. They loved making friends in the lovely village of Thaxted. The cottage itself is really cosy and the hot tub was a real treat, especially during the scorching days when it was cool enough to be so refreshing. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken to the fields each day. Being near Stansteds flight path was interesting, watching the planes land was quite a sight! Wed definitely recommend it.

Weve stayed here twice now and honestly, Rutl and lodge might be one of the older spots, but its still really cosy and tidy. Its got that welcoming vibe that makes you feel at home, even if its not the newest place around. We always enjoy our stay!
