Visitor Reviews of Romney Sands
Very clean and spacious
Ideal for a four day stay in easy reach of the Romney Marsh attractions and The Channel Ports.
Our chalet was big and pretty much a home from home. Modern facilities and clean. The outside area was nice with a table and grass for children to play.
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. Great place!
We had such a lovely stay! The cottage was spotless and super well-equipped, making it feel really cosy. The dog walks right outside were perfect for our furry friends. The host was lovely, friendly and quick to respond. Meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was a real highlight. Well definitely return - great value for money!
We had a fantastic weekend here and honestly, it ticked all our boxes. The place was perfect for relaxing and our dogs had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating which they adored. The garden was great for them to run around, though Luna did strain her tail from all the wagging! Totally pleased with our stay and will definitely return.
We had an absolutely lovely stay! The cottage was spotless, well-stocked with essentials and some thoughtful little touches made it extra special. Highly recommend!
We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and were really impressed. Rob and Sharon have clearly put a lot of effort into beautifully restoring this historic place and they made us feel genuinely welcome - Bonnie too, of course! The location in Essex is perfect for exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages, which are full of charm and history. Its a cosy, relaxing spot that wed happily return to. Definitely worth a visit!
Really enjoyed our stay, the place had everything we needed.

Really enjoyed our visit, especially walking around the fields with the dogs-they loved it too!
We spent a week here in July with our two mini dachshunds and they absolutely loved it! The village of Thaxted is charming and the cottage itself is really lovely - especially the hot tub, which was perfect given the scorching weather. It was a real treat to relax in it after a day out. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily too. And yes, being near the Stansted flight path means you get some plane spotting - we enjoyed it! Definitely recommend.
We honestly felt looked after from start to finish. The place was just right - cosy, clean and well-equipped. The hosts were lovely and super helpful. Definitely planning to come back soon, cant wait!
We took a much-needed dog walking break here and it was just what we needed. Lovely accommodation, plenty of nearby pubs and eateries and endless fields to explore. The dog loved it and didnt want to leave!
We had such a lovely stay at the cottage! The location is perfect-super peaceful and relaxing, with stunning farm views. The horses were a bonus! The owners were really friendly and made sure we lacked nothing. Definitely recommend it if you're after a quiet, restful getaway. Well be back!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was super well equipped and felt really cosy, especially on that rainy December day. The bath was perfect after a long walk and the shower was just right. Being on a flight path didnt bother us at all, which was a relief. Perfect spot for dogs, especially if fireworks bother them. Beautifully converted place, thanks so much!
We absolutely loved staying at this cosy cottage! The peaceful surroundings made it perfect for unwinding and the hot tub was a real treat. Everything was spotless and well-equipped. Plenty of lovely walks nearby and the village was charming. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our visit, the setting was lovely and walking the dogs around the fields was perfect.
We stayed at this charming cottage and loved the cosy vibe. The hot tub was a real highlight! Just a heads-up, planes fly over at night from Stansted nearby.
The owners really have thought of everything here! We had such a relaxing stay and would definitely tell our friends about it.
Cozy place, had everything we could possibly need, loved it!
The owners really have thought of everything here. We had such a relaxing stay, loved every minute of it! Highly recommend!

We had a lovely time at this peaceful spot. Sharon and Robert really go above and beyond to make sure everythings just right. Even on our second visit, it felt special - cant wait to come back again!
The cottage was just what we needed, peaceful and perfectly situated away from the busy areas. The hot tub was a real treat! Owners were friendly but unobtrusive. Theyve really got it spot on!
Lovely holiday park in a great location!
Brilliant time had by all.
Very nice place caravan very clean
Fantastic 5 star ?
Just one or two things which were a frustrating. For example,we were on a fortnight’s holiday but had to request a change of bedding after the first week, and even then didn’t receive fresh pillowslips. There is also a lack of information provided on arrival,e.g location of nearest medical facilities.
Regarding cleaning, the caravan door was marked where all the door seals had been stuck.
All only small things but which add up to detract from overall first impressions
Loved the caravan. Beach not far. Lady in shop was lovely and helpful
The site was clean and tidy. Our caravan was in a lovely quiet part of the site well away from the Entertainment Centre. We had no hot water when we arrived but the problem was dealt with very quickly by friendly and helpful staff in Reception.
