Absolutely fantastic

We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon put a lot of effort into converting this historic building and it really shows. They gave us a warm welcome, along with Bonnie, which made us feel right at home. The place has everything you need for a comfy break. The locations perfect too - exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages is a must to soak up the history and charm. Definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay at this peaceful spot. The location is so private and scenic, perfect for relaxing. The owners were genuinely friendly and helpful, always nearby if we needed anything but respecting our privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after cycling all day. Just a heads-up, the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, its worth considering. Overall, a great getaway!
