We loved staying here! The rural setting is so peaceful and the courtyard with its slate really set the scene. The hot-tub made it feel super luxurious, perfect for unwinding after walks.

We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and felt so welcomed by Rob, Sharon and Bonnie. Theyve really put a lot of effort into beautifully restoring this historic building and it shows. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing break. The location is ideal, nestled in a lovely part of Essex. We highly recommend exploring Thaxted and surrounding villages - so much history and charm to discover. Definitely a place to visit!

The caravan was generally quite clean, which was nice. A few issues like some dirty glassware and crisps shoved down the sofa were a bit off-putting, but overall okay.

Value for money for a break during half term. Caravan was clean but very 'simple'Plenty of facilities in the caravan for cooking. Would suit a family of 4, although sleeps 6 it's abit of a pain pulling out the sofa bed in a small living room and having to find somewhere to store the table (which ended up on top of the sofa!) The beds are a tad small, but manageable for afew days away

We had such a lovely stay! The owners are genuinely friendly and really go out of their way to help. The cottage itself is adorable, with charming timber framing and a super comfy bed. The shower is powerful and the heating kept everything cosy. Parking right next to the cottage made things so much easier. We enjoyed walking across the fields to Thaxted - a beautiful village with those classic half-timbered houses and a windmill. Definitely recommend!

We stayed at this charming cottage tucked away on a working farm and its honestly quite private despite the busy surroundings. Robert and Sharon are lovely hosts, really friendly and welcoming. The place itself is huge, with a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The bed was super comfy and the gardens perfect for dogs-completely private and with nice furniture. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted has some great restaurants like The Star and The Maypole. Wed definitely recommend it!

We had a fantastic stay! The house was super cosy and well kitted out, perfect for a chilly December day. The bath was a real treat and the shower was spacious too. The location is ideal, especially if your dogs dislike fireworks, as it's so tucked away. The house itself is beautifully converted and really charming. Thanks a lot for a lovely break!

Honestly, we had a fantastic stay! The lodge was spot on - roomy, cosy and fully equipped with everything we needed. The wet room was a real highlight and those 3ft single beds made all the difference. Having a dishwasher and washer/dryer was such a bonus. Wed definitely come back!

We stayed here for a week in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, the dogs loved every minute, making friends in the charming village of Thaxted. The cottage is really lovely, especially the hot tub - perfect for those blazing hot days, as it was cooled down and super refreshing. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming; it was nice to see them taking their dogs out to the fields daily. Being near Stansteds flight path was pretty interesting too, watching the planes land. Wed definitely recommend a stay here - its a lovely spot!

We had a fantastic stay at this cosy cottage! Everything we needed was right there, so we didnt have to bring much. The owners, Sharon and Rob, really thought of everything, from the well-stocked welcome pack to the little extras for our dogs. The enclosed garden was perfect for the pups and the hot tub was just what we needed after a day out. Communication was quick and friendly too. Honestly, we left feeling really relaxed and grateful for such a lovely break. Highly recommend!
