"We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! The place is stunning and really feels cosy, with charming decor and thoughtful little touches that make it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked, which was great, so we didnt need anything extra. Only slight gripe is the towels - we were a family of three and only had two big ones, which was a bit of a pain, especially since we didnt bring any for the hot tub. Also, there was an issue with the hot tub leaking water, which we werent told about, so we couldnt use it on day three until it was sorted. Still, overall a lovely spot!"

"We had an amazing stay! The house was super well equipped and kept us cosy despite the rainy December weather. The bath was perfect and the shower was a nice size, which we appreciated. The location is great, especially if you have dogs that dislike fireworks-theyll love the quiet. The place is beautiful and really nicely converted. Thanks a lot for a lovely break!"

"We had such a lovely weekend here! The place really ticked all our boxes and were already planning to return. Our dogs had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating - they were so comfy! Lunas wagging got her a bit strained at the vet, but it just shows how much fun she had. Happy pups, happy us!"

"We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob, Sharon and Bonnie really made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The buildings been beautifully converted with care, keeping its historic charm. The location is perfect for exploring Essex, especially if you like wandering around Thaxted and the nearby villages - so much history and charming architecture. Its exactly what we needed for a relaxing break, highly recommended!"

"We had a really lovely stay in this charming place, tucked away in a quiet, private spot. The owners were so friendly and always there if you needed anything, but they respected our privacy completely. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day cycling around. Just a heads up, the cottage sits directly 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 didn't ruin our trip at all. Would definitely recommend!"

"We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage tucked away on a working farm, yet it feels quite private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely charming hosts. The place is surprisingly spacious, with well-equipped kitchens and bathrooms and the bed was super comfy. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely secluded and nicely furnished. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted has some great eateries like The Star and The Maypole. Overall, wed definitely recommend it!"
