Lovely new lodge with exceptional features. Double shower was a brilliant touch along with extended roof over the balcony
Medbourne Edge Retreat is excellent.
We had a very enjoyable holiday in no short measure due to the quality of the accommodation provided by the lodge.The helpfulness of Simon was a big bonus
Missed a trick with this Lodge, its a lovely Lodge but fittings not so much. Settees are uncomfortable as are the beds. Nice smart tv. Seeing as it was a Lodge for 4 people there wasnt 4 decent glasses in the Lodge. 2 large wine glasses both different, a smaller wine glass, 3 small glasses & 4 plastic cups for the hot tub. 3 very big saucepans with lids but no small ones. No oven trays , The Tub was ok but instead of putting it on the decking its stuck on the side of the Lodge at the back with really wobbly paving slabs around it .
Lovely spacious lodge. Comfy beds. Everything you need for a great self catering break - like a home away from home! Views from the lodge were stunning and it is in such a tranquil spot. I love the gate at the entrance, I felt super safe as a woman travelling with 2 kids!
Lovely lodge would book again
Lodge was spacious Needed a deep clean as windows were filthy and surfaces were a little dirty.The shower leaked but the manager was aware, a dining chair was broken and we nearly fell off it.Mattresses were soft in the middle and hard on the outside, we ended rolling to the middle!Quiet site, lovely views
Everything was great
A very well enquired lodge in a pleasant settingSun in the morning and peaceful views
We had such a lovely weekend staying at Medbourne Edge Retreat. We were a group of 4 adults, one child and a dog. The facilities were really good and the lodge was clean and tidy. Lots of thoughtful extra touches such as a hamper for the dog, blankets and washing up bits. The bed was a bit on the harder side but it wasnt too much of an issue as we were only there for a few nights. Simon was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
It's a simple lodge with little to no decor but does the job. You are asked to strip the beds on departure which I've never been asked to do before.
We really enjoyed our visit! The location was charming and walking around the fields with the dogs was perfect.
We had such a wonderful, chilled-out stay. The cottage was spotless, had all the essentials, plus some really thoughtful extras. Highly recommended!
Really enjoyed our stay there!
Lovely lodge in a great location.
Really enjoyed the experience, would recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The setting is stunning and the weather was perfect for relaxing outside. The hot tub was a lovely touch and the place was spotless. Only downside was the mattress - quite uncomfortable, so we might have moved rooms if we stayed longer. Also, those tiny mugs for tea need replacing! Still, definitely worth a visit.
Great spot, super clean, definitely returning soon!
The cottage was just what we needed-super cosy and nicely tucked away, yet close enough to town for convenience. The hot tub was a real treat after long days and the underfloor heating kept everything warm and comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel really welcome. Cant wait to return!
We stayed at Goddard's Mead and really appreciated how much effort Rob and Sharon put into restoring this historic place. Their warm welcome made us feel right at home, along with adorable Bonnie. The location is perfect for exploring Essex, especially if you enjoy wandering through charming villages like Thaxted with their interesting history and lovely architecture. Its a peaceful spot, ideal for a relaxing break. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a cosy and scenic getaway!
The place was lovely, with stunning views that made relaxing so easy. We really enjoyed our time and cant wait to return! Just a couple of things-internet was slow and hand-wash at sinks could be better.
Great service, friendly staff, definitely coming back soon!
We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead. The cottage had everything we needed and the walks right outside were perfect. The owners were genuinely lovely and made us feel so welcome. Definitely recommend!
We loved staying here! The peaceful rural setting is perfect for relaxing and the courtyard with its slate design was charming. The hot-tub really made our stay extra special. Great for walks too.
The owners are genuinely warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The cottage was spotless and cosy, perfect for a chilly night. Our dog loved the secure garden and the hot tub was a real treat! Definitely recommend.
We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and honestly, Rob and Sharon made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, along with Bonnies lovely company. The buildings history is beautifully preserved and you can tell theyve put a lot of care into converting it. Its in a cracking spot in Essex, perfect for wandering around Thaxted and nearby villages-definitely worth exploring their rich history. Would happily recommend it!
This place is charming and perfect for a peaceful getaway. Just a heads up, the planes at night can be a bit noisy, but the hot tub makes up for it!
We loved staying here! The rural setting is stunning and the courtyard with the hot tub really made it special. Perfect spot for peaceful walks and relaxing evenings. Absolutely recommended!
This place is fantastic for a relaxing getaway. We loved how peaceful it was and its so handy for Leicester and Market Harborough. Rockingham Castle is definitely worth seeing too!
