Clara, Gb
Date of stay: 8th April 2025

Loved every moment, perfectly relaxing and just what we needed!

Emily, Gb
Date of stay: 31st March 2025

Wow, what a fantastic weekend we had! From the moment we arrived, we felt so at home. The lodge is beautifully modern and super luxurious and we loved the festive Christmas touches everywhere - it really added to the cosy vibe. The place is so well stocked; we appreciated the local cheese and bubbly waiting for us, such a nice touch. And a big thumbs up for how welcoming they were to our dog - treats, a tennis ball, dog bowls - he was made to feel just as special. The view from the lodge is simply breathtaking and knowing the entrance is gated made us feel secure throughout our stay. We got regular check-ins from the owners, which made us feel really looked after without being intrusive. The bed was massive and there were plenty of towels, so no complaints there. The only minor thing was the fridge - its pretty small with just a tiny freezer drawer. Were glad we didnt do a big supermarket shop beforeh and, or we mightve struggled for space. Nothing serious, just a heads up for anyone planning a longer stay. Honestly, if I could give it an 11 out of 10, I would! Stunning scenery, a lovely place to relax and the hot tub on the deck was the cherry on top. Were already talking about coming back soon!

We had a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob, Sharon and Bonnie really made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The buildings been beautifully converted, keeping its historic charm but with all the comforts you could need. The locations perfect for exploring Essex, especially if you enjoy wandering around Thaxted and nearby villages - so much history and stunning architecture. Wed definitely recommend it for a peaceful getaway!
