The lodge was very clean; especially the bathrooms which is what I always look out for. The kitchens were well equipped having everything we could need. The decor was lovely - so cosy and homely. We loved the open plan kitchen and living area - it was so spacious! The beds were very comfy and huge as were the bathrooms.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The place was spotless and peaceful. Hosts were super friendly. The hot tub was a lovely treat and our dog loved the garden.

It is difficult to find any faults. But perhaps the wash basin in the bathroom was quite small and shallow. The bath tap was a bit uncomfortable unsecure and wobbled.

Overall, this place was pretty good! The only minor issues were the tiny, shallow basin in the bathroom and the bath tap that felt a bit loose and wobbly. Nothing major though.

We absolutely loved our stay! The lodge's stunning 180-degree views were breathtaking and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing after exploring. Very clean and well equipped too.

Gorgeous lodge, sparkling clean, very spacious open plan kitchen dining lounge has the wow factor. Hot water with good shower power. Superfast WiFi and tv in every room even in the enclosed hot tub area! Only reason for good vs excellent facilities the dishwasher needed salt and rinse aid, although plenty of dishwasher tabs maybe a little cup of washing powder or a couple of tabs for washing machine would be good too but minor points and wouldnt impact decision to return! Hot tub fabulous easy to get into and very comfy large beds not too soft nor too firm!

We had a fantastic stay at this lodge! The place is stunning - super clean and feels really spacious, especially the open-plan kitchen and lounge, which has that wow factor. The hot water and shower power were spot on and the WiFi was lightning fast, even in the hot tub area. We did notice the dishwasher needed salt and rinse aid, which was a bit of an annoyance and a few more washing machine tabs wouldve been handy. But honestly, these were minor issues. The hot tub was a real highlight - easy to get in and so relaxing. The beds were just right - not too soft, not too hard. Wed definitely come back!

We recently stayed at this lodge and honestly, its fantastic. The kitchen is well-equipped and the living space feels so spacious and cosy at the same time. The bedrooms are huge, with super comfy beds that made us want to stay in bed all day! The views are just stunning, whether youre looking over the lake or the rolling hills and Skiddaw. Perfect for any weather, especially with the undercover hot tub. The smart TVs and log burner added a nice touch. Weve been here a few times now and its definitely our go-to spot for a chilled getaway!

We arrived to a warm welcome from friendly staff, which made us feel at home right away. The site was spotless and easy to get around. Our stay in the Wellington was fantastic - so clean and well-equipped, with everything from dishwasher to utensils. Plenty of shops and beaches nearby. Would definitely return!

Nice friendly staff on arrival. Site really clean and easy to navigate around. Stayed in the Wellington which was amazing, very clean and tidy. Everything you need for your stay from dishwasher to all utensils. Plenty of shops around and nice beaches less than 30 mins away. Would definitely go back.

We absolutely loved this cosy cottage! The hot tub and log burner made it super relaxing. The hosts were so friendly too. Can't wait to come back!

The house was truly lovely, nestled in the countryside with such a peaceful vibe. The courtyard with its slates was charming and the hot tub made it feel super posh. Perfect for walks too.

Great stay, but some things could be improved.

We stayed here with my partner and our two kids and honestly, it was a lovely escape. The lodges were spotless and really comfy. The spot is perfect if you're after peace and quiet, just what we needed. The only real downside was the restaurant wasnt open every day, which was a bit disappointing. Still, a great place for kids to play, explore and do a bit of fishing. Perfect for relaxing!

Went with my partner and 3 children what a lovely place, lodges are immaculate and very nice. Location is great just what we wanted secluded and quiet. Only downside was the restaurant wasnt open and only open a few days a week. Great place for the kids to explore and do a bit of fishing playing outdoors. And lovely place to relax.

This lodge is perfect for chilling out, especially during the festive season, love it!

Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back.

Great stay, would definitely come back soon.

The lodge was stunning and spotless inside. Fancy furnishings and all the TV apps like Netflix, Prime, Apple etc. will definitely be rebooking soon!

We stayed at this lodge and loved it! Very spacious, super comfy beds and the place was spotless. TVs in every room were a nice touch too.

While the park seems more like a quiet retreat with few play options, the staff were lovely and really made our kids feel at home. Its not the best for active young families wanting loads of activities, but we still had a really nice stay overall. Would visit again!

The lodge was really comfy and well-equipped, perfect for relaxing. The outdoor TV in the hot tub was a lovely touch and the privacy was spot on!

Lovely accommodation, hot tub very nice especially having TV outside, the secluded position is great and lodges well spaced apart, Lodge had everything we needed.

We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and honestly, Rob and Sharon have done a fantastic job preserving this historic place. They were so welcoming from the moment we arrived and Bonnie made us feel right at home. The location is perfect for exploring Essex - we loved wandering around Thaxted and nearby villages, soaking up all the history and charming buildings. Its a cosy, relaxing spot that wed definitely recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful break.

We absolutely loved our stay! The lodges are really plush and perfect for unwinding. The hot tub is sheltered and watching the outdoor TV while relaxing was a real treat. We combined the twin beds so both rooms felt spacious enough for two couples. The grey interior was quite trendy too.

Very cosy, would definitely come back.

Lodge cleanliness,furniture and facilities first class.

Relaxing spot, well definitely return soon, loved it.
