We booked this place for a dog walking getaway and honestly, it was just what we needed. The accommodation was lovely and theres loads of fields nearby for walks. The pubs and restaurants are only ten minutes away too. The dog didnt want to leave! Definitely recommend for a peaceful break.

We stayed at this lovely cottage and loved how peaceful it was, yet still near local shops and pubs. The hot tub was a real treat and the bathrooms underfloor heating kept everything super cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel really welcome. Cant wait to return!
We stayed at Little Gem and honestly, its a real treasure. The cottage is so well equipped, we didnt need to bring a thing! The welcome pack had all the info we could possibly need, plus handy menus. The owners, Sharon and Rob, were quick to respond whenever we had questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden - such a relief! The hot tub was fantastic after long days out. Thanks for a lovely break, well definitely be back. Such a wonderful place to unwind!
We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and absolutely loved it. Rob and Sharon have done an amazing job turning this historic building into a cosy and welcoming place. They couldnt have been kinder upon arrival, along with Bonnie, of course! 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 chilled break. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed our visit, the surroundings were beautiful and the dogs loved exploring everywhere! Great day!

Lovely stay with welcoming hosts and the jacuzzi made it even more special. Highly recommend!

The owners are genuinely lovely and went above and beyond when the storm knocked out the power. The cottage was spotless, cosy and well-equipped. Our dog loved the secure garden and we loved the hot tub-brilliant stay!

We recently stayed at this lovely cottage and honestly, it had everything we needed - we didnt have to pack much at all! The owners, Sharon and Rob, really thought of everything, from the welcome pack with useful info and menus to the little extras for our dogs, which was so thoughtful. The enclosed garden was perfect for the pups and the hot tub was just amazing after a long day. Communication was quick and friendly too. Honestly, we had a wonderful break and can't recommend it enough!
We stayed at this lovely cottage in such a peaceful spot, perfect for unwinding. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, really relaxing! The place was spotless and had everything we needed. Plenty of walks nearby and the village had charm too. Brilliant trip!
The sofas had quite a few crumbs under the cushions, but overall, it didn't spoil our visit.
The lodge was really nice and quite roomy and the hot tub was a lovely touch. Only slight issue with chlorine, but didnt bother us much. Beds were super comfy!
We just got back from a lovely week at Goddards Mead. The cottage had everything we needed and was super cosy. The hosts were genuinely warm and friendly, making us feel at home. Even on a busy farm, it felt so peaceful and calm.
We had a lovely stay at the lodge! It really had everything we needed and the beds were super comfy. If youre after fluffy pillows, you'll need to bring your own, but thats a small thing. The welcome pack for our dog was a sweet touch - blanket, water bowl, toy and bags, which we appreciated. The style of the lodge was nice, especially walking into the utility room with plenty of space for coats and shoes. Wed definitely come back and recommend it!
We just got back after a week at Goddards Mead and honestly, it was lovely. The place is super well-equipped and despite being on a working farm, it feels like a peaceful retreat. The hosts are really friendly and make you feel at home. Definitely recommend!
We had such a lovely stay! The owners are genuinely warm and thoughtful, making us feel right at home. The cottage itself is adorable, with its charming half-timbered style and a really powerful shower thats perfect after a day out. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made it hard to leave! Parking right next door was a real bonus and the place was spotless. The walks to Thaxted were gorgeous and everything was within easy reach. Wed definitely come back!
We stayed at Turnberry 14 lodge recently and honestly, it was a pretty great experience. The place was spotless and nicely decorated - just our style. The kitchen had loads of utensils and having a dishwasher plus a washer/dryer was a real plus, especially after days out. A bigger pot wouldve been handy for four of us, but the two smaller ones did the job. They even left some dishwasher tablets, a sponge and a tea towel, which was thoughtful. We did notice a leftover drink bag on the furniture, which couldve been cleared up and we fixed a loose curtain rail ourselves. The gas hob and grill were a bit temperamental at times, but it didnt spoil our stay. Overall, wed happily come back. Thanks!
The silver VIP lodge was really lovely, such a beautiful space. The beds were super comfy and having an en-suite with a bath was a nice touch. The hot tub was definitely a highlight for us!
Dated, no hot tub as advertised, poor state of repair handle falling of microwave, cushions on settee collapsed.
Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really went above and beyond. We felt completely relaxed and will be telling friends about it.
We stayed in a lovely, roomy lodge that felt really comfy. The only hiccup was the shower temperature-probably user error, but it took a bit of fiddling. The hot tub mats looked a bit grimy and the welcome mat was a Christmas one, which was odd since we visited in February. Honestly, just small things, but otherwise, it was a great stay!
Excellent holiday park, the lodge, waterside, was in need of some renovations but was clean. You can tell it had been there for some time. All the park handymen were very friendly and helpful, hot tub was checked daily. Over all we would recommend this park.
First time in Yorkshire and what a fabulous setting this was. Accommodation was clean and check in was brilliant. All staff were friendly and JJ's was lovely. Would definitely return when next in Yorkshire.
Lovely relaxing short break in a fabulous lodge with hot tub set in beautiful surroundings .
Nice quiet place to stay . Lovely clean accommodation with good facilities and good well kept golf course.
Second time we ve been lodges are clean plenty of space . Lovely surroundings . Had a lovely relaxing weekend
The park is a relatively new site alongside the golf course. The staff were friendly & helpful, the maintenance staff very efficient. While we were there the week days were quite & relaxing but come the weekend the noise level increases considerably with the extra numbers of holiday makers.
The only downside I have is that the Internet connection was poor therefore we could not watch the TV or play music without it buffering and there is not much signal for mobile phones. I think there could be a welcome pack provided with instructions for the cabin and hot tub
Beautiful lodge and excellent food
We loved the lodge and hot tub very well equipped and spotless. Jj restaurant lovely food good and big portions staff nice. The golf course was really good my grandsons loved it the site is very well mentained and we will definitely be back
