"Very comfy space, perfect for relaxing weekends away."
Emma Carter - Mar 2024
"We really enjoyed the lodges layout and the location is spot on, couldnt ask for better. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. That said, the lodges are starting to show their age - lots of marks on the walls and some fittings like the shower temp dials keep falling off. The bi-fold doors are broken and the sitting room chair is wobbly, needing the legs tightened. The hot tub arm is broken too, making it tricky for anyone with limited mobility to use, though we hear replacements are on the way. Its not a deal-breaker, but with a bit more TLC, it could easily be a 5-star place."

"We really enjoyed our visit, though a few things could be better. The lounge area was a bit cramped for eight of us and the dining table was too soft for comfort. Despite that, everything else was spot on! Were already booked for next year!"

"We stayed at the lodge recently and honestly, it was a great experience. The place felt spacious, especially the big living room, breakfast bar and dining area. The rear deck was perfect, with a hot tub for four and a garden with enough seats for six - ideal for relaxing outside. The master bedroom with the king bed and en suite was massive and the other bedrooms, including the twin, were comfortable. If theres one thing, the beds were a bit noisy since they were metal frames, but overall, we really enjoyed our stay!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge, though we did notice it was missing scissors, which wouldve been handy for opening food bags. Space was a bit tight for eight people to all sit together, but we managed to make it work somehow."

"We loved this cosy little cottage! Its tucked away enough for peace but still close to shops and local spots. The hot tub was a highlight and the underfloor heating in the bathroom made everything super comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie are lovely hosts. Cant wait to return!"

"We stayed at this lovely cottage recently and honestly, the owners couldnt have been kinder or more thoughtful. They were super helpful from start to finish, making us feel really welcomed. The place itself is adorable-such a charming half-timbered build with a really powerful shower and a cosy kitchen and living space. The bed was incredibly comfy and parking right next to the cottage was a real plus. Its well heated, spotless and perfect for exploring the nearby fields and Thaxteds beautiful half-timbered houses and windmill. Wed definitely recommend it!"

"We truly enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead. The cottage was well-equipped and perfect for relaxing walks right from the doorstep. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Lovely experience!"
Emma - May 2025
"From the moment we arrived, Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel super welcome. They've really put a lot of effort into preserving the charm of this old building and it shows. The place is perfect for a chilled-out break, with everything you might need. The location is spot on - in a lovely part of Essex. Wed definitely suggest taking a wander around Thaxted and the surrounding villages to soak up the history and stunning architecture. Its well worth it!"

"This is the second time we have been here within a few months first at the Maple Lodge and this time at the Oak Lodge.
Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish, breathtaking lodges with panoramic views.
Plenty activities available and Nottingham City only 20mins Drive, Tesco, Home Bargains Mac’ds only 1mile away.
The lighting at night outside is fantastic for hot tub and to do a bbq anytime day or night with shelter.
All I can say is it’s a hidden gem book it and you won’t regret it.
Look out for offers!"
