Not the best stay very stressful due to on site issues felt only lip service was given an a lot of health an safety excusesHave stayed before with no issue I feel although the rooms are cleaned nothing else is checked so that when the customer goes in everything g is working

We stayed here for new year there is nothing on the site . The disable bathroom area could do with a upgrade , door didnt lock you have to have the key in door all the time the windows dont shut and it is very cold as breeze is coming through all windows

Towel rail not working communication was an issue but sort by reception who offered daily towel refresh apart from that a freindly place to stay will be booking next year

Actual apartment very good.

Our villa had a bedroom window with a broken lock (wouldnt lock closed at all), stains on the carpet, a toaster where the cable had been burned and wires were showing (v dangerous). Not enough seating in the living room for the villa occupancy and just missing some little touches. Nowhere to hang coats, just really needs more furnishing as it looked really sparse/cold.

As above maybe book later on in the year and theyll have hopefully improved a few tweaks here and then & its got the potential for a good holiday.

Very dated in need of upgrading

My son and I spent 5 days at Ilfracombe holiday park, whilst our apartment was adequate and comfortable. A booklet or some form of information would have been useful with pool opening times, perhaps a menu/takeaway menu and opening times for the monkey puzzle restaurant. Tesco is only a short walk away for essentials. We walked with our dogs to Ilfracombe 3 out of our 5 days, which is a nice walk, however walking back is tough if you are not fit.Much of the site appears to be under major repair and the dog waste bin was overflowing from day 1.

This was my fourth visit to Illfracombe Holiday Park and sadly will be my last. We have had three very good experiences previously but unfortunately this visit didn't live up to expectations. The accommodation was fine and comfortable but the staff we encountered were not very friendly and helpful. On the first night we tried to order some food but they didn't have any of our first three choices available so had to settle for 4th best option. The next day the staff at the swimming pool grunted at us when I asked if they had any towels available poolside not knowing I had to bring the towels from our room down .Then the worst experience I had was when we went to order a coffee at the bar the next afternoon to be told it wasn't open and the person was so rude as it was an inconvenience for him . Although the weather wasn't great last week it was nice to get away but unfortunately the experience was tarnished slightly....

What a lovely freindly place to stay room was clean towels and wash up materials all provided meals on site were excellent I worked in a 4 star hotel for 15 yrs this room was as good as a hotel room or better

Great studio with sea views,comfy king size bed it looks like it just been refurbished asvell so no complaints.There is pool,sauna and restaurant on the premises.Highly recommend!

we had a very nice break everything was good food etc and the surrounding area. The nearest sandy beach is woolacombe a very good place to relax we will come back again

Brilliant & cosy cottage far enough out the way to be secluded but close enough to local amenities. Amazing hotub & bathroom with underfloor heating throughout tops it off. The owners, Rob & Sharon are wonderful! (And of course Bonnie) Will definitely be coming back again for longer ASAP!!

Beautiful cottage with hot tub and log burner. lovely hosts, peaceful, perfect for our mini break. Hope to return for longer soon!

Really well equipped house, lovely and warm too which was so nice on a rainy December day! Bath was just lovely and a nice big shower! The property is under a flight path - this did not disturb us at all! Dont be put off! A great location for dogs who hate fireworks as it's in the middle of nowhere. Really beautiful, well converted property. Thank you!

It was everything we wanted for our weekend away and we loved staying here. We'll definitely be back! Our pups absolutely loved the underfloor heating and had so much fun in the garden. In fact Luna came home with a strained tail and according to the vet it was because she was wagging it so much over the weekend!! Very happy pups and hoomans!

Lovely cottage. Great location for us. Away from the hustle and bustle. Great hot tub . Lovely helpful non intrusive owners. They have it just right!

Absolutely loved how well maintained and equipped this cottage is. Plenty of dog walks right on the doorstep. Very friendly host, they were so efficient and communication was excellent. We enjoyed meeting the animals on the farm and the very curious pig penelope. Perfect escape for us and the doggos. Will definitely be back, brilliant value!! Highly recommend.

Beautiful property, spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable, had a fabulous break, hot tub amazing x

Very kind and considerate owners. Couldnt be better. Enormously helpful and extremely pleasant. Charming half-timbered cottage with a great strong shower, cosy kitchen & living room combination and very comfortable bed. Fantastic parking directly next to the rented cottage. Well heated and very charming, and spotlessly clean. Great walks across the fields to the local village of Thaxted and of course within easy travelling distance of the village, replete with half-timbered houses and windmill.

We had a wonderful time in Goddard Mead. The cottage was very complete and there were walks on the doorstep. The welcome and stay was very warm. The owners are lovely people.

The owners Rob & Sharon, have gone to a great deal of work to sympathetically convert this historic building & we couldn't have had a warmer greeting from them both & of course Bonnie. Goddard's Mead has everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The location is in a great area of Essex and would recommend taking the time to wander around Thaxted and other villages/towns nearby to discover it's fascinating history & buildings.

Such a lovely place to stay in a really beautiful, private location. The owners were really friendly and helpful, nearby if needed but without breaking that sense of privacy. The hot tub was perfect after a day of cycling! One thing to be aware of, the cottage is right under Stansted's flight path, and so there's a lot of aircraft noise. It only took us a couple of hours to get used to it and it didn't spoil our holiday at all, but something to be aware of if you're sensitive to noise.

The lovely cottage is situated on a working farm, but is very private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are delightful. The cottage is very spacious with good equipment in the kitchen and the bathroom. The bed is really comfortable. The garden is secluded; dog proof and with good furniture. There are numerous walks around. Thaxted has good restaurants. We liked The Star and The Maypole. The Swan and the Indian are not bad either. We thoroughly recommend this place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Sharon and Robert were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation had everything we needed and was clean, comfortable and secure for our dog Archie. The location was ideal too with plenty of walks to find and Thaxted and surrounding villages are lovely places to visit. We felt our batteries had certainly been recharged during our week and we enjoyed our relaxing break!

Stayed here for a week from 15 to 22 July with our 2 mini daschund girls who thoroughly enjoyed there stay making new friends in the village of thaxted. The cottage is lovely especially the hot tub a bonus as it was the hottest days of the year so the water was coolled so it was more refreshing the hosts were very welcoming was nice to see there horses being taken to the fields each day you are on the flight path near stansted but I enjoyed watching the planes come in would definitely recommend

Lovely accommodation, very peaceful and relaxing and great for dogs as the garden is fully inclosed

Had such a lovely, relaxing break. Cottage was immaculate, equipped with everything you need and some lovely added extras too. Couldnt recommended more

Had a lovely weekend away staying here. Would love to come back later on in the year.

Lovely friendly owners. Couldnt do enough when the power went down due to the storm. Very well equipped and clean. Very warm cottage. Our dog enjoyed the enclosed outside space and us the hot tub!
