"We stayed at Friarlands Lodge recently. Arriving late at night, we struggled a bit with directions, even with the instructions and had to go back to reception for help. The staff member there was really friendly and even drove us up to the lodge, which was a lovely touch. Once inside, we couldnt get enough of the beautiful decor - its truly stunning and tastefully done. The only real downside was that, for the first time ever, we forgot to bring towels! Had to dash to Tesco the next morning and spent £40 on four towels - bit of a pain! The outdoor space wasnt really our thing; the open decking meant everyone could see us while in the hot tub, which spoiled the privacy a bit. Weve been to Carrick Lodge twice and that place faces a field with gorgeous decor, so wed go back there instead. Overall, a lovely stay, just remember to bring your towels unless privacy isnt a big deal for you!"

"We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and truly felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. Rob and Sharon have done a wonderful job restoring this historic building with care and attention. Bonnie was lovely too! The place has everything you need for a relaxing stay and the location is perfect for exploring Essexs charming villages and towns. Definitely worth taking a walk around Thaxted and soaking up the history. Highly recommend!"

"Our Crofthead review: We had a lovely stay at this good place. The location is so peaceful and private, yet the owners were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything. The hot tub was a real highlight after long cycle days! A heads up, the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth knowing. Overall, a great place for a relaxing break!"

"We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful but never intrusive, which was perfect. The big fenced garden was great for our dog to run around freely. The place is fully equipped with everything we could need and we even enjoyed a BBQ one evening. The hot tub was a real highlight! Were already recommending it to friends and hope to come back soon. Thanks for a lovely break!"

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect, away from the busy city noise but still close enough to explore. The place was spotless and all the amenities looked br and new, which was great. They even put up a Christmas tree at Christmas! The new reception area with a small shop and coffee spot is a lovely touch. Staff are super friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Definitely felt like a home away from home!"

"Would 100% recommend Crofthead Holiday Park to anyone! Our holiday was great from start to finish. The whole family absolutely loved it. There’s plenty to do around Ayr also if you’re wanting to head out for the day! The hot tub was so relaxing. There was even a great park next to the reception for the kids! The views from the park are fantastic also. The lodge we stayed in was immaculate. It was also a lot bigger than we expected with plenty of storage. Also came with a washing machine which was an added bonus as we managed to do some washing throughout our stay and dry it on the airers which saved a massive load of washing when we got home (it’s the little things in life haha). We can’t wait to visit again!"
