This was a very good adventure I visited with my school a few years ago and now my sister has just gone. So far she is enjoying . As much as I did ( or more!) . My favourite attraction was the Big Swing . My least favourite attraction was the trapeze. All the same the whole group was pleased , it was a once in a lifetime adventure , I reccommend it too anyone . Though maybe next time people WON'T call us the " little welsh school" . All the same I thouroughly enjoyed. The prices were reasonable and the lodges were comfortable and thats coming from and 11 year old girl who went at 9.

Having a hot tub within the lodge was good. Check by staff every day to ensure cleanliness and perfect levels of PH and others

The cottage is really charming and perfect for a peaceful getaway. Just a heads-up, there can be some night-time plane noise from Stanstead. The hot tub was fantastic!

We had a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead. Rob and Sharon really put a lot of effort into restoring the building with care and their warm welcome made us feel right at home - plus Bonnie was adorable! The location is perfect for exploring Essex, especially if you enjoy wandering around charming villages like Thaxted and soaking in the history. Definitely recommend taking the time to explore nearby spots, its well worth it!

We just got back from a week at Goddards Mead and honestly, it was lovely. The cottage has everything you could think of and the hosts are genuinely friendly. Even on a working farm, it felt peaceful and cosy-like a little escape. Very enjoyable!

We had a fantastic week here from 15 to 22 July, bringing along our two mini dachshunds who loved every minute. The village of Thaxted is charming and the cottage itself is really cosy - the hot tub was a real treat, especially during the scorching weather, it was nice to cool off. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel really welcome; we enjoyed watching the planes land since its close to Stansteds flight path. All in all, wed happily recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Lovely holiday park, we stayed in the Cedar Falls Lodge, it was absolutely perfect for our needs, spacious and luxurious. Loved the fact the Coastal path was within a short 5 minute walk plus it had a play area for kids.
The only improvement I can think to suggest would be to include some information and leaflets of things to do in the area when checking-in or at least in the reception area.
We had a lovely week away and I would definitely consider booking again.

Really enjoyed our stay in Cedars 9 (as per picture on hoseasons). The site itself is tucked away in a peaceful , quiet location with country club on site or Smugglers Inn walkable (5 mins), which served nice food and some live music.
Coastal walks in both direction a must if fully abled. Pool and club house lovely. If you want hustle and bustle head to Weymouth. The Old Harbour is very picturesque and worth a visit and there’s plenty going on to amuse the kids.

Osmington is a great location, close the Weymouth and many of Dorset’s famous sights. The neared beach Ringstead was lovely and there are some great walks from the Park. Our lodge was very comfortable and had a wonderful view. We will return!
