We just got back from a week at Goddards Mead and had such a lovely time. The cottage had everything we needed and was super comfy. The hosts were really friendly and even though its on a working farm, it felt so peaceful and relaxing!

We had such a lovely stay at this good place! The location is truly peaceful and private, perfect for a relaxing break. The owners were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, without intruding on our privacy. The hot tub was a real highlight after cycling all day. One thing to keep in mind-it's right under Stansted's flight path, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but it might be an issue if you're noise-sensitive. All in all, wed definitely return!

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage! Its perfectly tucked away for peace but still close enough to enjoy local shops and cafes. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept everything super warm. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel right at home. Cant wait to return for a longer stay soon!

We stayed in the caravan recently and honestly, it was quite nice for a basic place. Everything was spotless and the sheets were all wrapped up in plastic, which was a nice touch. There were little extras like washing up liquid too. We werent told about the heaters, but it turned out they had heaters in every room, including the bathroom. A pleasant surprise!

We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful without being pushy, which we appreciated. The fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around safely. The place had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen and a great hot tub-definitely a highlight! Wed happily come back and already told friends about it. Thanks for a lovely break!

We stayed in the dog-friendly Gold Plus Two, all on our own after losing our boy just before the holiday. The caravan was truly impressive-spotlessly clean and well-maintained, we couldnt fault it at all!

We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage tucked away on a working farm, but dont worry, its super private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely folks who made us feel really welcome. The place itself is huge, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely enclosed and with nice furniture. We also enjoyed exploring the nearby walks and had some great meals in Thaxted, especially at The Star and The Maypole. Honestly, wed definitely recommend it!

We stayed here for a week in July with our two small dachshunds and it was such a lovely experience! The cottage itself is charming and the hot tub was a real highlight, especially since the weather was scorching. It was great to see the hosts being so welcoming; you could tell they genuinely cared. Watching the planes land near Stansted was quite entertaining too, even if its a bit noisy at times. The dogs loved making new friends in the village of Thaxted and wed definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway. Well be back!

We had such a lovely stay at this cottage! Its tucked away on a working farm but feels surprisingly private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely folks. The place itself is really spacious and well-equipped - the kitchen and bathroom have everything you need. The bed was super comfy, which is always a plus. The garden is perfect for dogs, totally secluded and furnished nicely. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxteds restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth visiting. Wed definitely recommend it!

We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and honestly, its a lovely spot. The owners, Rob & Sharon, really put effort into restoring this historic building with care and theyre super welcoming, as is Bonnie. The place has everything for a comfy, relaxing visit. The location is perfect-nestled in a nice part of Essex. Wed definitely recommend exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages to soak up some local history and charming sights. Its well worth the trip!
