"As said before, the caravan needs a lot of TLC. Radiators need a lick of paint as all rusty, seltaped remote. Stain on sheets, missing knives. Lots of wear and tear to the actual caravan which make it such a shame."
"Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back soon."
"We found the caravan spotless and smelling fresh, even with four adults inside. Plenty of space for everyone and the hot tub was well taken care of, with the maintenance guy checking it almost daily. Really impressed!"
"Our Forest Edge review: Lovely small park with spotless, well equipped caravans. No facilities but guests can use Oakdene Forest next door.Lots of traffic noise from A31 but we knew that when we booked.Highly recommend for a break in the New Forest."
"We stayed in the caravan and honestly, it was surprisingly comfy-way better than many lodges we've been in before. Can't really find any faults with it at all."
"We spent a fantastic week here with our two little dachshunds and they had a great time making friends in Thaxted. The cottage itself is charming and the hot tub was definitely a highlight-especially during the scorching days when the cooled water felt so refreshing. The hosts were lovely and really welcoming; it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields every day. Being close to the Stansted flight path was interesting to watch the planes land. Overall, wed happily recommend for a relaxing getaway. Will be back!"
"We had a fantastic stay! The house was super well equipped and kept us cosy on that rainy December day. The bath was really lovely and the shower was big enough for a proper rinse. The location is perfect for dogs that hate fireworks - so peaceful and away from noise. The place is beautifully converted and truly charming. Thanks a lot for a lovely break!"
"We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners were super friendly and helpful without being overbearing, which we appreciated. The big fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around safely. The place had everything we needed in the kitchen and the hot tub was a real treat! Weve already told our friends about it and would love to come back someday. Thanks for a lovely break!"
"Had a lovely stay at Goddards Mead, the cottage was perfect and we can't wait to return soon!"
"Really impressed by how spotless and well-equipped it was."

"Great place, would visit again"
"We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead! The cottage had everything we needed and the walks right outside were perfect for exploring. The owners were so friendly and made us feel really welcome."
"Absolutely loved our stay! The caravan was spotless and super well-equipped, making cooking so easy and enjoyable."
"We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was spotless, super well-equipped and the little touches made it extra special. Highly recommend for a nice getaway."
"We had a great stay at this lovely place tucked away in a peaceful spot. The owners were super friendly and always happy to help if needed, but it still felt private and quiet. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling - so relaxing! A little thing to note is the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us too much once we got used to it, but its worth mentioning if youre sensitive to noise. All in all, wed definitely come back."
"We had a really lovely stay in this charming little spot. The location is super private and peaceful, yet the owners are nearby if you need anything, which was great. The hot tub was a real highlight after cycling all day-its just what you need to unwind. A tiny thing to note is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so aircraft noise is noticeable at first. It didnt bother us much after a couple of hours, but if youre sensitive to noise, it might be worth considering. Overall, wed definitely recommend it!"
"We stayed at this charming cottage on a working farm and loved how private it was. Robert and Sharon are such lovely hosts, really friendly and welcoming. The place itself is super spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that made us feel right at home. The garden is fantastic-completely secluded, dog-proof and with nice furniture for relaxing outside. There are lots of walks nearby and some great restaurants in Thaxted, like The Star and The Maypole. Wed definitely recommend it!"
"We had a great time exploring Dorset from this spot. The location is perfect for getting around and seeing the sights. The park itself is spotless and the staff always go out of their way to help. The only thing is, theres a bit of noise from the A31, which didnt bother us but might be an issue for those after total silence. Facilities are a bit limited on-site, but we appreciated the passes to the nearby site with swimming pools, a bar and food. Our 3-bed caravan was spacious enough for four adults and two kids. It was very clean, though the furniture wasnt the most comfy, but wed definitely come back!"
"We really appreciated how tidy and modern the caravan was-definitely the cleanest site we've been to! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Loved the cycle through the woods to reach the main area with the pool and facilities. Only downside was the constant road noise at the back, which made sleeping a bit tricky, especially late at night."
"The lodge was super tidy and really good value, which we appreciated a lot. Its a shame about the location, wish it was nearer the coast though. Still, the place itself was top-notch. Wed definitely stay here again, no doubt about it!"
"We had a really good stay here, honestly. The site was peaceful and kept nice, with clear signs and friendly staff who were happy to help. The location of our caravan was spot on, super clean, warm and cosy. We loved that there were two parking spaces right next to the caravan-such a relief! The hot tub was spotless and at just the right temperature, which made evenings really relaxing. The best part? Check-in was contactless and our caravan was ready a good two hours before the scheduled time, so we missed the rain while unloading-winning! Overall, we had a fantastic week and will definitely come back, hopefully to the same caravan again."
"Great experience, really loved the caravan, definitely planning to return!"
"We recently stayed in one of your caravans and honestly, it was quite a lovely experience. The staff really went out of their way to help us out, which we appreciated. The location is fantastic - close enough to loads of attractions but far enough that it wasnt too busy all the time. We enjoyed the peaceful walk through the woods when we crossed over to the main site. All in all, a really nice place to stay and wed definitely come back!"
"Great spot overall, really enjoyed our stay despite the busy road noise."
"Great experience, would recommend it"
"We really enjoyed our visit, the setting was beautiful and the dogs had a fantastic time exploring."
"We enjoyed our holiday very much, our van was clean & of a good standard, the park is very clean, not very large but the sister site is close by for swimming & entertainment. There are a couple of dog friendly pubs which do good food nearby. This site is quiet & just outside the entrance is forest which is great for dog walking which our dog loved. We would definitely return to this site to see more of Hampshire."
"Just what we wanted peace and quiet. Mobile home was excellent had more than everything we needed. Very happy customer would definitely go back again. Gives you time to recharge your batteties."
"A nice and quiet relaxing caravan site."

Only concern was the constant noise from the A31"
"Amazing and helpful staff made our honeymoon very welcoming, great and tasty food great value for money"

"Back from a lovely weekend break at Forest Edge. Very small site but use of Oakdene facilities. The site was very very clean and with just my husband and our dog perfect location for forest walks. Would recommend and will stay again"
"Easy self check-in. Really lovely, clean and spacious 3 bed. Tidy very well kept park. Great location with walking distance to forest. And the staff are very friendly and helpful. The best uk holiday park we have stayed in by far."
