30 reviews from guests who stayed at Millendreath Beach Resort
Great apartment, top level so a lot of stairs but clean, comfortable and had everything we needed.
The apartment was clean though we found pasta in a cupboard and ice creams in the freezer compartment and missing a cutlery knife. Small box on a shelf revealed washing up liquid, sponge, cloth and tea, coffee, sugar and milk sachets ( maybe put it somewhere more noticeable)Nice picnic table on decking to admire the view
Unfortunately our apartment wasn't in the best shape. It hadn't been thoroughly cleaned. The oven, trays and dishes were full of dirt and the ones that had been washed were full of water still.The bunk bed definitely needed tightening and the kids didn't feel safe sleeping in it.We didn't have any signal meaning we weren't able to contact any members of staff to rectify any issues on site.
The place was really well thought out and spot on for our needs. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. Its a beautiful location and were already planning to come back soon! Cant wait to visit again.
We had a really lovely time staying here! Sharon and Robert were fantastic hosts and made us feel so welcome from the start. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and perfect for our dog Archie - he loved it! The location was just right, with loads of nice walks nearby and Thaxted and the surrounding villages are truly charming. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed, it was just what we needed!
Really enjoyed our stay! The place was so calm and perfect for the dogs to play freely.
We had such a lovely weekend here! The place was just what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. Our dogs were especially happy with the underfloor heating and they had a blast in the garden. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it - the vet says its from all the excitement! Well certainly come back again!
Our weekend stay here was just perfect. The place had everything we hoped for and we really enjoyed our time. The garden was a hit with our dogs, especially with the underfloor heating which they adored. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it-cant blame her! Well definitely be coming back soon. Happy pups, happy us!
We just got back from a really relaxing four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are so friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which we appreciated. Our dog loved the big fenced garden, so perfect for them to run around. The place had everything we needed and the hot tub was just brilliant! Weve already told our friends about it and would definitely come back. Thanks for a lovely break!
We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon really put a lot of care into transforming this historic building and it shows. Their warm welcome made us feel right at home, along with Bonnies friendly vibes. The place is spot on for a chill break and the location is perfect for exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages. Definitely recommend taking some time to wander around and soak up the history and pretty sights. Great spot!
Really enjoyed our time here! The place was spotless, well-equipped and that hot tub was a highlight!
Very cosy place, felt like a home away from home.
Really enjoyed the calm atmosphere and the jacuzzi was a highlight.
Lovely stay, welcoming hosts and the jacuzzi was the real highlight for us!
Honestly, we had such a lovely time! The place was well thought out and super comfortable. The hosts were genuinely warm and helpful, making us feel right at home. Can't wait to come back again!
We had such a lovely stay! The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed, plus loads of walks right outside the door - perfect for the dogs. The host was super friendly and quick to reply, which made everything so easy. Meeting Penelope the pig was a highlight! Can't wait to come back, great value and a proper escape.
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely little spot tucked away in a peaceful, private area. The owners are genuinely friendly and always happy to help if needed, but the place still feels secluded. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling - so relaxing! One thing to keep in mind is that the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip at all. Would definitely recommend!
Our stay at Goddard Mead was really lovely. The cottage had everything we needed and the walks starting right outside were perfect. The hosts were genuinely warm and welcoming - wed happily return!
Had a lovely weekend here, perfect for a peaceful anniversary escape. Would definitely stay again!
We had such a lovely stay! The cottage was cosy and well-equipped and theres loads of nice walks for the dogs right outside. The host was super friendly and quick to reply, which made everything easy. Meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was a real highlight. Well definitely return - great value for money!
Such a peaceful spot, we loved every moment!
We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, it was quite lovely. The place was spotless and very comfy, with a modern white aesthetic that we really appreciated. The floor-to-ceiling windows made it feel bright and airy. Wi-Fi worked fine and the TV was decent enough. The only thing missing was a table and some comfy chairs on the decking - the wooden bench felt a bit out of place. Would definitely come back for the quiet location!
Overall, we enjoyed the stay - the location was great and the villa was spotless with everything we needed. Sadly, we left some stuff behind and couldn't get hold of anyone afterward. Tried calling before cleaning, but no luck. Still, a nice place!
Really enjoyed our stay here, such a lovely place. Definitely planning to return later this year.
We loved the location - just a quick two-minute stroll to the beach! Booking was easy and check-in instructions were clear. The apartment had so much potential, but it wasnt the cleanest - towels with odd brown stains, greasy plates and a bed that was falling apart. Still, considering the price, its not surprising. Wed stay again though!
We found this place to be a decent base for exploring some lovely spots nearby. The chalets were pretty clean and the beds comfy, which was great after long days out. The site itself does look a bit tired and could really do with some upgrades, especially since some of the fuses kept tripping and the WiFi was pretty much non-existent in most chalets. Its good value in the off season, but we wouldnt pay the inflated prices during peak times. Still, wed come back since its quiet and suits what we need.
Absolutely loved our stay at Goddards Mead! The cottage was perfect in every aspect. Well definitely return soon!
We just got back from a week at Goddards Mead and honestly, it was lovely. The cottage had everything we needed and was super cosy. The hosts were so friendly and even though its on a farm, it felt peaceful and relaxing throughout our stay!
We just got back from a four-night stay at this charming cottage and honestly, we loved it. The owners are super friendly but never intrusive - just there if you need them. The garden is massive and fenced off, perfect for our dog to run around. The cottage had everything we needed and we even enjoyed a BBQ one evening. The hot tub was a real highlight! Were already telling friends to check it out. Thanks for a great break!
We had a lovely stay at this charming country retreat. The courtyard was so pretty and the hot tub really made it feel extra special. Perfect spot for peaceful walks too!
