From the moment we arrived, Rob and Sharon made us feel really welcome, which was lovely. They've done an amazing job converting this historic building with such care. Bonnie was also super friendly. Goddard's Mead is perfect for a chilled stay - comfy and well-equipped. The location is great too, nestled in a lovely part of Essex. We definitely recommend exploring Thaxted and nearby villages; there's so much interesting history and beautiful buildings around. Definitely worth a visit!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage, tucked away on a working farm but still very private. Robert and Sharon are such charming hosts, making us feel right at home. The place itself is really spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we loved. The garden was perfect for our dog-completely fenced and with nice furniture to relax on. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted's restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are definitely worth a visit. Wed happily recommend it!
