We had a fantastic time at this cosy little cottage. Its perfectly tucked away for privacy but still near local shops and eateries. The hot tub was a real highlight and the underfloor heating kept everything super comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie are truly lovely hosts. Cant wait to return!

We had a fantastic stay! The house was really well equipped and kept us warm on a rainy December day, which was much appreciated. The bath was lovely and the big shower was a nice touch. The location is perfect, especially if you have dogs that hate fireworks - its so peaceful out in the middle of nowhere. Plus, the house itself is beautifully converted. Thanks a lot!

We had a lovely stay here! The owners are genuinely warm and thoughtful, making us feel really welcome. The cottage itself is a dream - charming with its half-timbered style and the shower is powerful enough to wake you up in the mornings. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made it perfect for relaxing. Parking right outside was a real bonus and the place was spotless. Great walks nearby and easy to get to Thaxted. Definitely recommend!

From the moment we arrived, Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel truly welcome. The buildings history is beautifully preserved and the conversion is done with real care. Goddard's Mead is perfect for a chilled-out stay, with everything you need just right. The location is fantastic-lots of charming villages and towns nearby to explore, each with their own stories and lovely sights. Definitely recommend taking the time to wander around, its well worth it!

We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot tucked away in such a peaceful, private setting. The hosts were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, yet kept the atmosphere quiet and relaxed. After a day of cycling, the hot tub was just what we needed - absolute bliss! A heads up though, the cottage sits directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a few hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didn't ruin our holiday at all. Would definitely recommend!
Emma

We stayed at this place and honestly, its really well equipped and super cosy, which was perfect given the rainy December weather! The bath was lovely and the shower was a good size too. The house is on a flight path, but honestly, we didnt notice the planes at all. Perfect spot for dogs that hate fireworks since its so remote. Thanks a lot!

We had such a lovely weekend here! The place was exactly what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. The garden was perfect for our dogs-they had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating.

Bonnie was adorable too!

Highly recommend for a relaxing break!

We had a really lovely stay here! The place is tucked away in such a peaceful spot, perfect for escaping the hustle. The owners were genuinely friendly and always happy to help without intruding on our privacy. The hot tub was a highlight after long bike rides - pure relaxation! A quick heads-up, though: the cottage sits right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, its worth knowing. Overall, a great find!
James
We had a great stay at this lovely cottage, tucked away on a working farm but still very private. Robert and Sharon are such friendly hosts, making us feel really welcome. The place itself is super spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely enclosed with nice furniture. Plus, the walks nearby are fantastic. Thaxteds restaurants, especially The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!
