"We had such a lovely time at this cosy cottage. Its perfectly tucked away for peace and quiet but still close enough to enjoy local shops and cafes. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept everything super comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel right at home. Cant wait to return for a longer stay!"

"We had a fantastic stay! The house was really cosy and well kitted out, perfect for chilly December days. The bath was great and the shower was a lovely bonus. Even though its near a flight path, it didnt bother us at all - honestly, you barely notice. Ideal spot for dog owners, especially if fireworks scare them. Beautifully converted, really peaceful. Cheers!"

"Our Hall More review: We had such a lovely stay! The owners are genuinely warm and thoughtful, making everything feel so welcoming. The cottage itself is adorable, with that charming half-timbered look and the shower was surprisingly powerful-perfect after a long walk. Speaking of walks, the fields around are perfect for exploring and its a quick trip to Thaxted with its beautiful timbered houses and windmill. The parking right next to the cottage was a real bonus too. Spotlessly clean, well heated and super cosy overall."

The place has a cosy, welcoming vibe, perfect for relaxing. Its situated in a lovely bit of Essex, so wed definitely recommend exploring Thaxted and the nearby villages; theres so much history and charming architecture to enjoy. We felt right at home and will be coming back for sure!"

"We had such a lovely stay in this good place! The location is really peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing. The owners were super friendly and helpful whenever we needed anything, but it still felt tucked away from everything. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long cycle day! One thing to note, the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of noise from the planes. It didnt bother us too much after a while, but its worth mentioning if you're sensitive to sound. Overall, wed definitely come back!"

"We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and were really impressed. Rob and Sharon clearly put a lot of effort into converting this historic building with care and their warm welcome made us feel right at home, along with Bonnies friendly nature. The location is perfect for exploring Essexs charming villages like Thaxted, full of interesting history and lovely sights. Its a peaceful spot, ideal for relaxing and soaking up the local atmosphere. Highly recomended!"

"We had such a lovely stay in this peaceful spot, tucked away in a really private bit of the countryside. The owners were super friendly and always ready to help if we needed anything, but they kept a respectful distance which we appreciated. The hot tub was a real treat after long cycling days! One thing to note, the cottage is just under Stansteds flight path, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but it might be a problem if you're sensitive to noise. All in all, a great place to relax!"
Raj - May 2025
"We had an amazing time at this cosy cottage tucked away on a working farm, yet it feels so private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, couldn't be nicer-they really make you feel at home. The place is super spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfy bed that we didnt want to leave. The gardens perfect for dogs, totally secluded and furnished nicely. Plenty of lovely walks nearby and Thaxteds eateries like The Star and The Maypole are worth checking out. Wed definitely recommend it!"
