We stayed in this lovely house and honestly, it was perfect for our needs. The place is super well equipped and kept nice and warm, which was a blessing during that rainy December weather. The bath was so relaxing and the shower was big enough for all the family! The noise from planes didn't bother us at all and its a great spot if youve got dogs that hate fireworks. Thanks so much!

We had a fantastic stay at this cosy place nestled in such a peaceful spot. The owners are genuinely lovely and always happy to help without intruding on your privacy. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling! Only thing to note - its pretty close to Stansteds flight path, so plane noise can be loud at times. It didnt bother us much after a while, but if you're sensitive to sound, it's worth considering. Overall, a lovely experience wed recommend!

We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and were really impressed. Rob and Sharon have done a wonderful job preserving the historic charm of the place while making it comfortable and welcoming. They greeted us so warmly and Bonnie was adorable too! The location is perfect for exploring Essex, especially the charming villages and Thaxteds lovely sights. Its a peaceful spot, ideal for unwinding and soaking in the area's rich history. Definitely worth a visit!

We had a fantastic stay at this cosy little spot tucked away in a lovely, secluded area. The hosts were super friendly and always available if we needed anything, but kept their distance enough to keep the privacy intact. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling! One thing to note, the cottage is directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of plane noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but it might be an issue for light sleepers.
