We had such a lovely stay! The cottage was spotless and super well-equipped, making it feel really cosy. The dog walks right outside were perfect for our furry friends. The host was lovely, friendly and quick to respond. Meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was a real highlight. Well definitely return - great value for money!

We had a fantastic weekend here and honestly, it ticked all our boxes. The place was perfect for relaxing and our dogs had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating which they adored. The garden was great for them to run around, though Luna did strain her tail from all the wagging! Totally pleased with our stay and will definitely return.

We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and were really impressed. Rob and Sharon have clearly put a lot of effort into beautifully restoring this historic place and they made us feel genuinely welcome - Bonnie too, of course! The location in Essex is perfect for exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages, which are full of charm and history. Its a cosy, relaxing spot that wed happily return to. Definitely worth a visit!

We spent a week here in July with our two mini dachshunds and they absolutely loved it! The village of Thaxted is charming and the cottage itself is really lovely - especially the hot tub, which was perfect given the scorching weather. It was a real treat to relax in it after a day out. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily too. And yes, being near the Stansted flight path means you get some plane spotting - we enjoyed it! Definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was super well equipped and felt really cosy, especially on that rainy December day. The bath was perfect after a long walk and the shower was just right. Being on a flight path didnt bother us at all, which was a relief. Perfect spot for dogs, especially if fireworks bother them. Beautifully converted place, thanks so much!

We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly but not at all intrusive, which we appreciated. The garden is huge and fully fenced, perfect for our dog to run around. The place had everything we needed and we even had a BBQ one evening. The hot tub was fantastic! Wed definitely come back and already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a lovely time!
