We had a fantastic stay! The cottage was super well-maintained and had everything we needed. Plenty of lovely walks for the dogs just outside the door. The host was really friendly and quick to respond, which made everything smooth. We loved meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig. Definitely coming back-great value! Highly recommend.

We just got back from a week at Goddards Mead and it was fantastic! The cottage had everything we needed and the hosts were genuinely lovely. Even though its on a working farm, it felt so peaceful-truly a good place. Wed definitely go back!
Really enjoyed our stay here, everything was comfortable and welcoming. Definitely planning to return soon!
Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really went above and beyond, making everything perfect. Definitely telling friends about this place.
We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage tucked away on a working farm, yet it feels surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon are such friendly hosts, really warm and welcoming. The place is huge, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that made us feel right at home. The gardens perfect for dogs - totally private and furnished nicely. We enjoyed exploring the nearby walks and tried some great restaurants in Thaxted, especially The Star and The Maypole. Definitely recommend!
The owners were super friendly and really helpful when the storm knocked out the power. The place was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and we enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub! Definitely recommend.

We stayed at this charming cottage on a working farm and loved how secluded it was, yet still private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are just lovely and made us feel really welcome. The place itself is huge, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave. The gardens perfect for dogs, completely dog-proof and with nice furniture. Lots of nice walks nearby and we had great food at The Star and The Maypole in Thaxted. Definitely recommend!
We had such a lovely time at Goddards Mead! The cottage was perfect in every aspect. Can't wait to return!
We had an amazing weekend here and totally loved our stay. The place was just perfect for what we needed. Our dogs had a blast with the underfloor heating and running around in the garden. Luna even wagged her tail so much she hurt it, but she was super happy all weekend. Well definitely be coming back!

We had a fantastic weekend here and really enjoyed our stay. The place was just what we needed - cosy and welcoming.

We really enjoyed staying here. The cottage was charming and perfectly situated for us, away from busy areas. The hot tub was a lovely bonus. Owners were friendly but unobtrusive, just right!
We loved this charming little cottage! The log burner and hot tub made it extra special. Hosts were lovely, super peaceful, cant wait to come back!
We stayed at this place during a rainy December and honestly, it was perfect. The house is super well equipped and kept us cosy all weekend. The bath was fantastic and the shower was big enough for a proper rinse! Being on a flight path didnt bother us at all-dont let that put you off. Ideal spot for dogs that dislike fireworks, in the middle of nowhere. Thanks a lot!
We had a lovely stay! The house was spotless, super comfy and the hot tub was a highlight.
This place is fantastic! Everything was thought of and we felt so relaxed. Will definitely tell our friends about it.
We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners are genuinely warm and helpful, making us feel very welcome from the start. The place itself is spotless, super cosy and well heated-perfect for relaxing after a day out. The shower is great and the bed was really comfy. Parking right next to the cottage is a big plus and we enjoyed walking through the fields to Thaxted. Definitely a place we'd return to!
Really enjoyed our stay here! The place was spotless, well-equipped and that hot tub was fantastic!
We had such a lovely stay in this charming little spot. The location is stunning and feels very private, which we really appreciated. The owners are super friendly and helpful, always nearby if you need anything but without intruding on your peace. The hot tub was a real highlight after a day out cycling-absolutely perfect! A quick heads-up: the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Would definitely recommend!
The owners were super friendly and really went out of their way when the storm knocked out the power. The place was spotless and warm, plus our dog loved the secure garden and we loved the hot tub! Definitely recommend.

Very clean and comfortable
Amazing quiet beautiful place
Very nice lodge would stay again the only downfall was that there was no on site entertainment but other than that it was superb!
An amazing holiday so relaxing would definitely go back again !
Lovely quiet and relaxed site. Lodges are spacious, well maintained, well equipped and very clean. Close to Dartmoor and 30 minutes from the beaches of Bude. Roadford lake, which is great for water sports is just down the road.
Great place to stay, quiet, peaceful and relaxing just what we wanted ?
We spent five nights in Ruby Country Lodges.
The complex was in a secluded spot and there was plenty of things to do in the area. It was calm and peaceful.
The maintenance staff Mark was available every day and he and his colleagues are up keeping the complex to a high standard.
The instructions for guests was extremely clear and all our queries were answered in the booklet.
Beautiful surroundings, spacious contemporary lodge.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Perfect relaxing break with plenty of places of interest close by.
Absolutely loved the lodge, spotlessly clean, home from home had everything ypu needed and more, beds were so comfy, quality linen check in was quick and easy, lovely surroundings, would highly recommend, we cannot wait to book again for a visit. Thank you so much for having us to stay ??
After being disappointed after our last 2 visits ,2 shabby lodges , especially the last one . this time we were not disappointed, lodge spotless , bed very comfortable and overall the site looking very tidy . Can’t wait til we return next March
Great getaway for relaxing and peace and quiet.
Lodge was great, everyone loved it and hot tub was fab.
This was our 3 rd visit and the lodge which was a Tamar is looking tired and some of the kitchen cupboards and cooker need a good steam clean. Dirty marks on the mattress which we only discovered when we stripped the beds. Needs updating and refreshing especially the decking and outdoor furniture
We have been going to Ruby lodges for about 8 years now and we absolutely love it! It’s quiet and relaxing and such a peaceful retreat. The lodges are always spotless and the staff are extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them, we would highly recommend it here.
