We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful, but theyre not at all intrusive, which was perfect for us. The big fenced garden was great for our dog to run around freely. The place had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen and a BBQ one evening. The hot tub was fantastic! Were definitely coming back and already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a lovely time!

We had a great stay at this lovely cottage, tucked away on a working farm but still very private. Robert and Sharon are such charming hosts and made us feel really welcome. The place itself is surprisingly spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave! The garden is perfect for dogs, being both secluded and dog-proof, plus there are plenty of walks nearby. Thaxteds eateries, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit-definitely recommend this spot!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely little spot. The setting is so peaceful and private, yet the owners are super friendly and nearby if needed. The hot tub was a real treat after cycling all day! Just a heads up - the cottage is directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of plane noise. It didnt bother us after a while, but if you're sensitive to noise, its worth considering. Overall, a great find and wed definitely come back!

We had such a lovely weekend here! The place really ticked all our boxes and were already planning to return. Our dogs couldnt get enough of the underfloor heating and the garden was perfect for them. Luna especially was wagging her tail so much that she strained it - the vet said its from all the excitement! Happy pups, happy us!

We had a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead. Rob and Sharon really put a lot of effort into beautifully restoring this historic place and they made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived-plus Bonnie was adorable! The location is perfect for exploring Essex, especially if you enjoy wandering around charming villages like Thaxted. Its a peaceful spot with everything you need for a comfy, relaxing break. Definitely recommend it if youre after a quiet getaway.

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage! Its really well equipped - we didnt have to bring anything, which was a pleasant surprise. The welcome pack was full of useful info and local menus, a nice touch. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs and they loved it. The hot tub was fantastic after a day out. Sharon and Rob were quick to respond if we needed anything. Thanks for the thoughtful extras for us and the pups - well definitely be back!

We spent a week here in July with our two little dachshunds and they honestly had a blast making friends around Thaxted. The cottage itself is really charming and the hot tub was such a treat-perfect for the scorching weather, especially since it was cooled down. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel really welcome; it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields every day. Sure, youre near Stansteds flight path, but honestly, I found it pretty interesting watching the planes land. Would definitely recommend this place!

We really enjoyed our stay, but a small hiccup with the radiators was a bit disappointing. We mentioned that some werent working and lacked knobs to adjust the temperature, but it seemed like they werent checked beforehand. The team was quick to respond once we alerted them, which was good. Still, we ended up without heating in the main bedroom and bathrooms, which was a bit of a pain. Overall though, its a lovely place and were planning to come back!

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners are so friendly and really go out of their way to make you feel welcome, which we appreciated. The place itself is beautifully kept, with a cosy vibe and a lovely strong shower-perfect after a day of exploring. Parking right next to the cottage was super handy and the walks around the fields to Thaxted are just stunning. Everything was spotlessly clean and well heated, making it a real home from home.

We spent a week here in July with our two mini daschunds and honestly, it was lovely. The village of Thaxted is charming and friendly and our dogs loved making new friends. The cottage itself is really cosy and the hot tub was a real treat-especially on those scorching days, it was so refreshing to dip in. The hosts are warm and welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out each day. Watching the planes land near Stansted added a bit of excitement! Wed definitely stay again.
