Fab little lodge. Great size fridge and freezer which was a relief. Big shower, all utensils available. Our only problem was that if you turned on the one television the other one would also turn on which was quite funny.

Perfect winter escape, exactly what we needed to relax after a hectic few months!

We had such a lovely stay! The owners are genuinely kind and so thoughtful - couldn't ask for more. The cottage is adorable, with its charming half-timbered style and a really powerful shower. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made it perfect for relaxing. Parking right next to the property was super convenient and everything was spotless and well heated. Great walking trails nearby to Thaxted, with its pretty houses and windmill. Definitely recommend!

Second time going this year ,and can't wait to book again ,relaxing peaceful perfect for chilling

Our lodge was absolutely awesome. Totally immaculate and fully equipped. All we needed to bring with us was food, drinks and condiments. They even provided dishwasher tablets. The hot tub worked great and was nice to sit in and unwind.

The hot tub was absolutely fantastic, really relaxing after a long day. The lodge was spotless and well-equipped, which we loved. However, the heating was quite noisy at night, making it hard to sleep and the sofa was a bit uncomfortable. Overall though, a good stay!

Perfect lodgeComfy bed Lovely bathroom Lovely kitchen with dishwasher Just Perfect

We have been coming to Leycroft valley for years and have been under several owners, we have stayed in most of the cabins including the treehouses , however over the years we have sadly noticed its decline in the decor , with ripped sofas , cracked ceilings , and spiders webs that havent been cleaned away, but still love coming there because of the idyllic location , recently under the new owners they have started to upgrade the cabins which makes them much more appealing and only recently Leycroft House has become available to sleep 10 people , we stayed for the week there and the upgrade they have done on this property is absolutely outstanding, we couldnt fault it at all and would definitely stay in there again , it has its own driveway and electric charger and hot tub , so you are looking down the valley onto the cabins . Love love love , highly recommend it , we just hope that others that stay there give it the respect it deserves to keep it looking brand new for as long as possible , oh and it takes up to 2 pets too !

Very clean lots of room and we started in lodge 16 there was lovely views.

Great stay! The lodge was spacious, very clean and the views were absolutely lovely. Will return!

Really enjoyed our stay, the place was spotless, peaceful and super comfy. Hot tub was a highlight!

Perfect. Clean comfortable private quiet peaceful. The ideal break away. Hot tub was lovely!

We stayed at The Lodge and, honestly, its a mixed bag. Some areas felt a bit tired, missing a headboard and the small double bed wasnt quite what we hoped for. Still, it was clean, the facilities were decent and the staff were really friendly. Wed definitely return for a quick off-season getaway despite the little snags!

Our holiday was brilliant. We spent very little time at the facility and spent our days travelling around Cornwall. We visited St Ives for the first time and its as lovely as people say! And I definitely recommend polly joke beach in Newquay for a seal hot spot!

We had such a fantastic holiday! Most of our time was spent exploring Cornwall, with St Ives being just as charming as everyone describes. The highlight was definitely spotting seals at Polly Joke Beach in Newquay-absolutely loved it! Would definitely go back again.

Great holiday, would recommend

The lodge was absolutely gorgeous, just what we needed for a relaxing getaway.

We really enjoyed our stay! The countryside around was so peaceful and the hot tub was a lovely touch. The slate courtyard was perfect for relaxing evenings. Definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic weekend stay and truly enjoyed our time here. The place was perfect for what we needed and well surely be coming back. Our dogs adored the underfloor heating and the garden - Luna was wagging her tail non-stop! She even strained it, but the vet said it was just from all her excitement. Happy pups, happy us!

We loved the cosy feel of the cottage, perfect for a peaceful escape. The hot tub was a real highlight, though the planes at night are a bit noisy! Great stay overall.

Great place to unwind and relax away from everything.

We stayed at Lidden Lodge No 30 and really enjoyed it. The location by the lake was stunning and the big decking area was perfect for relaxing, though another chair wouldve been a nice addition. Inside, the lodge felt cosy but was still well equipped and spotless. The only downside was the shower, which screeched loudly every time-probably to encourage quick showers! The hairdryer didnt sound great either, so we were a bit cautious. Still, it was a lovely break and wed definitely recommend it!

Excellent location and good facilities???? overall we enjoyed our stay and will be back ????

Great stay, lovely spot and decent amenities. Wed definitely come back again!

The place looked stunning and was quite tidy, but a bit more attention to detail with handles and the hot tubs cleanliness would've been nice. Still a lovely spot!

Really enjoyed the little hot tub, perfect for solo relaxing. Managing the lid was straightforward, even alone. The lodge was cosy, with parking nearby-lovely stay!

The owners were so welcoming and really went above and beyond when the power was knocked out by the storm. The place was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and we loved the hot tub!

The lodge was not as shown in pictures. The sofa was rock hard and the bed was extremely uncomfortable with scratchy feeling sheets. In the kitchen there were no baking trays. Any other site I have been to provide at least one or two baking trays.The lodge could have been cleaned/maintained better. There were white stains all over the bedroom curtains, mold around the bath and around the top window in the bedroom. The bath mat was also dirty, and looked as though it has been stained from grout/mold from the tiles on the bathroom floor. The towel radiator was also very rusty.

From the moment we arrived, Rob & Sharon made us feel really welcome and Bonnie was adorable too! Theyve put a lot of effort into preserving this historic building and it shows. The location is perfect for exploring Essex - we loved wandering around Thaxted and checking out the lovely villages nearby. Goddard's Mead is just what you need for a chilled, comfy stay. Definitely recommend it if youre after a peaceful getaway!

Very welcoming and well-kept place
