If you like a quiet and peaceful park with lovely lakes, ponds and wildfowl, fishing and golf, then Florence Springs is for you. We stayed in the dog friendly lodge, it was almost new and in excellent condition, although perhaps some shelving in one half of the double wardrobe would be helpful. Heatherton World of Adventure is next door and great for children.

The best lodge for our family with teens! We loved the pool table, arcade table and the juke box. The cinema room was great too! Everything you need is in the lodge! It's like home from home!

This is our fourth stay and love the lodges on Florence springs, they all very different inside and very modern .We have stayed in the daisy lodge 3 times now, was a little disappointed with the cleanliness, very dusty behind the toilets in the eusuits, also the twin room with the long windows the carpet is thick with dust around the beds , which we didn't see until stripping the beds on the last day , also the top self in the kitchen is thick with grime from dust and cooking, this could easily be cleaned with elbow grease.

Musty smelling aged hand and bath towels really let this accommodation down. All other aspects of the lodge offering was lovely as the lodge is only built last year and so everything was in good condition.

We have stayed at Florence Springs for the last 5 years. We love it there, the facilities and surroundings are excellent and staff are very friendly, however unfortunately this year we found that the guest towels were very smelly and appeared dirty like they hadnt been washed with detergent but just rinsed. Hopefully this is just something that had been overlooked on this occasion.

Goldcrest - Entertainment Lodge We arrived at 4pm on checkin day, the young lady was very friendly and handed me our key, map and handy information.We were absolutely blown away by the lodge. Which was super clean and modern.A lovely welcome pack was in the kitchen, which included a bottle of wine, milk, dishwasher tablets and 2 laundry tablets.The 2 showers were powerful with plenty of hot water, we never had an issue with the water going warm/cold.Wifi was great, there was even a usb port in the kitchen, with a usb-c cable.Kitchen had everything you need - except for a pizza cutter ???? Dishwasher, large fridge freezer, oven and microwave.Theres also a washing machine with built in tumble dryer. Hover and broom.Hot tub was checked daily, the pool table was great fun and you could Bluetooth your phone to the jukebox.I pre ordered a food delivery with Asda, that was delivered directly to our lodge between 5-6pm on checkin day.We bought a small bbq and used it on the gravel drivewayWould highly recommend Florence Springs, wed happily buy a lodge here but we live a 5 hour drive away.Finally - a shout out to Stephen, for his friendly Welsh charm. Hes a credit to Florence Springs - ill miss our 8.30am chats!

Beautiful lodge, everything was clean. Could not fault it in any way. We have a 21 month old child and everything was very baby friendly, even the decking was safe for him. Would definitely recommend

We had a fantastic stay! The house was super well equipped and kept us really warm, which was a lifesaver on that rainy December day. The bath was a real treat and the shower was roomy and powerful. Even with the planes overhead, it didnt bother us at all - dont let that put you off. Perfect spot for dogs who dislike fireworks, so peaceful and scenic. Thanks a lot!

We stayed at this place during a rainy December and honestly, it was perfect. The house is super well equipped and kept us warm, which was much appreciated. The bath was fantastic and the shower was big enough to really enjoy. Even though it's under a flight path, we barely noticed the planes. Ideal for dogs that dislike fireworks, being in the middle of nowhere. Thanks so much!

We just got back from a week at Goddards Mead and honestly, it was lovely. The cottage had everything we needed and the hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Even being on a working farm, it felt peaceful and like a real escape. Would definitely recommend!

We spent a week here in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, it was lovely. The village of Thaxted is charming and the cottage itself is really cosy. The hot tub was definitely a highlight-especially with the hot weather, cooling off in there was pure bliss. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel really welcome; it was nice to see their dogs being taken out for walks each day. Being on the flight path near Stansted didnt bother us at all, in fact, I enjoyed watching the planes come in. Would happily stay again!

Booked a week in the Entertainment 2 lodge - Gold Crest - with beautiful views over the trout lake and golf course. After a long wet drive we were glad to arrive and check straight in, blown away by the lodge quality from the pool table, cinema room, bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen area all were stunning thats without the lovely large decking and hot tub. We had an issue with the WiFi but within minutes we had a very polite chap sort us out. Easter Sunday we spotted our hot tub was very low in water and found a large leak on the cold water flow to the heat pump and rang through to the team straight away. Within minutes we had another polite chap have a look to see what was going on he left us a hose to top the tub up and mentioned they would need to drain down and repair the pipe the following day. First thing they were in sorting the repair out and by 1400 that day we had our hot tub back working again. In fairness I wasnt a fan of the golf course but we got used to it, the wildlife was lovely to watch and the alpacas were a pleasant visit. The play area was nice including the frisbee golf which we tried. We didnt visit Heatherton afterwards or use the free golf but used the playground a few times. All in all such a nice well kept site, the grass was mowed within an inch of its life all round the lodges, parking was fantastic for each lodge, good to see recycling bins in each lodge, the grounds staff were all lovely instead of being ignored they waved said hi etc. Overall weve come home very relaxed we cant wait to rebook and come back again.
