The caravan was a good size reasonably clean but the cabinets in rooms were dusty including the cooker hood. Sofa and carpets needs steaming, we coveredthe sofa with disposable cloths during our stay. But having said that, we enjoyed our stay. It's warm and comfortable.

Visitor Reviews of Bowland Fell Park
Cannot complain for the money we paid. However, some of the bedding hadnt been changed and had clearly been slept in before we arrived.
We stayed at this lovely cottage recently and honestly, it was a wonderful experience. The owners are genuinely warm and super helpful, making us feel right at home. The place itself is adorable, with that charming half-timbered look and a cosy vibe. The shower was powerful and the bed was so comfy! Plus, parking right outside was a real bonus. Perfect spot for walks to Thaxted and exploring nearby villages-definitely recommend!
We absolutely loved our stay here! The rural setting was so peaceful and the courtyard with the hot tub really made it special. Perfect spot for relaxing country walks too.
Nice place beautiful setting x
We had a lovely stay at the cottage! The location was perfect-so peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by stunning farml and. We even got to see some horses, which was a lovely touch. The owners were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a place we'd come back to!
We really needed a dog walking getaway and this place hit the spot. Lovely accommodation, close to pubs and eateries and endless fields for off-road adventures. The dog loved it so much, didnt want to leave!
It's was fantastic, the single beds frames stuck out and everyone stubbed their toe several time. It was our only issue
We had a lovely weekend stay here and really enjoyed ourselves. Can't wait to come back!

We had a fantastic weekend here! The place was just perfect for what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. Our dogs had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating-such a hit! The garden kept them busy and Luna wagged her tail so much she strained it, but alls well. Well definitely be coming back soon!

We loved staying here! The cottage is perfect for a peaceful getaway, though the occasional night-time plane noise from Stansted is to be expected. The hot tub was a real highlight!
We stayed at this charming cottage recently and honestly, it had everything we needed-no need to bring a thing! The owners, Sharon and Rob, really thought of everything, from the well-organised 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 long day. Communication was quick and friendly too. Well definitely be coming back - it was a lovely break all round!
We stayed at Goddard's Mead and were really impressed. Rob and Sharon put so much effort into beautifully restoring the historic building and they made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived-shout out to Bonnie too! The place has everything you need for a comfy, relaxing break. The location is perfect for exploring Essex, especially if you enjoy wandering around pretty villages like Thaxted and discovering their charming history and architecture. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead. The cottage had everything we needed and the walks right outside were perfect. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel truly welcome. Lovely place!
The cottage was really charming and perfect for a peaceful getaway. Just a heads up, there are quite a few night flights from Stanstead, so its not totally silent. The hot tub was a real highlight, super relaxing! Wed definitely come back.
We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage tucked away on a working farm and honestly, its so private and peaceful. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are really friendly and welcoming. The place is surprisingly spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that made us feel right at home. The garden is perfect for dogs, completely secluded and with nice furniture to relax on. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxteds restaurants, especially The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!
We had an amazing stay at this cosy little cottage! The place was spotless and had everything we needed. Loved the fact there were loads of walks right outside the door - perfect for the dogs. The farm animals were a lovely surprise, especially Penelope the pig. The host was super friendly and really quick to respond. Well definitely return, such good value!
Fantastic 8 birth caravan , clean and dog friendly.Fantastic place for visits to Settle,Skipton etc for walks with the kids and dog
Had a excellent holiday such lovely surroundings would definitely want to come back
A lovely park in beautiful surroundings. Caravan was lovely and clean but unfortunately there was no where to sit outside the caravan when the weather was nice Also the steps leading into the caravan were very steep as the caravan was quite high off the ground. A small veranda would have solved both these problems. Just a small thing but when the weathers great you want be able to sit outside and enjoy it. Staff were lovely and polite nothing too much trouble.
We found the weeks stay in the caravan a little expensive compared to others we looked at. The surroundings were very rural and beautiful. Not impressed with the facilities on the site but the staff were really friendly and helpful.
Very clean and quiet park good location for steam train and canal rides
Very peaceful site on the edge of the Forest of Bowland.
The caravan we hired was brand new and immaculate inside.
Facilities were excellent, there is a lovely pub serving good bar meals and well kept real ale.
There are two playgrounds for the little ones both well maintained.
Special mention must go out to the staff on site who are excellent, always polite and friendly.
Make sure you book for the pool as soon as you can though, as it gets very busy and they only allow 11 people in each hour.
Stayed in Gold Plus 8 caravan - modern, spacious and very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful - making the kids feel welcome and special. Only minor gripe would be that there could be more facilities for kids, such as a bigger play area and an area for ball games.
Fantastic site and accommodation!
Great stay in lovely quiet country location perfect for hiking the surrounding hills very clean holiday park and lovely friendly staff
Beautiful site, very peaceful and relaxing.
The site was absolutely brilliant...
Very peaceful park on the edge of the Dales. Caravan was spotless and very well equipped. We were only using it as a base to explore waterfalls so didnt use many of the facilities apart from the laundry. Only a tiny shop in the corner of reception so make sure you are well stocked. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
