"We had such a lovely stay! The owners are genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The cottage itself is adorable, with that charming half-timbered look and a great shower thats perfect after a day out. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made it feel like home. Plus, parking right next to the cottage was super convenient. Its well heated, spotless and perfect for exploring Thaxteds beautiful walks and windmill. Wed definitely return!"

"We had to switch places after just one night because of this relentless noise that went off every hour-kept us awake all night, which was a nightmare. Luckily, the staff were really helpful and quickly sorted us out, moving us to a much quieter spot. The new villa was fantastic and definitely made up for the rough start. Overall, pretty good experience!"

"We had a fantastic stay! The house was super well equipped and really cosy, perfect for a rainy December day. The bath was great and the shower was quite spacious. The location is in the middle of nowhere, which was perfect for our dogs who hate fireworks-no bother at all. The house is beautifully converted and really charming. Thanks a lot for a lovely break!"

"Our Golden Coast Holiday Park review: The lodge was just what we needed. Beds were a bit small and the shower dripped, but overall, it was a lovely stay. Would come back!"

Emma Carter - Jan 2025
"We had such a lovely stay at this cosy place tucked away in a really 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 cycling around the area! One thing to note, the cottage is right under the flight path of Stansted, so aircraft noise is quite noticeable. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt spoil our trip at all. Would definitely recommend!"

"The villa was lovely and tidy, with a nice layout and great view. Bedrooms were spacious, though an extra baking tray for oven chips wouldve been handy!"
Sarah - Sep 2024
"We've stayed at this park quite a few times over the years, so we know it pretty well. Its a lovely spot and we usually enjoy our visits. However, this time, things didnt start off great. Our room door was wide open when we arrived, which was a bit of a shock and definitely poor form. The real issue was the missing cot bed - we called reception and they said itd be there in 15 minutes. An hour later, still nothing. When we tried to follow up, we found reception closed, so we had to hunt down a staff member ourselves to sort it out. We paid for that cot, so it was pretty frustrating to have to chase after it. Aside from that, the site itself remains as lovely as ever, but honestly, the false promises from reception left a sour taste. Not what we expected this time around."

Isla - Aug 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay! The villa had all the essentials, like a washer dryer and dishwasher, which made things so much easier. The welcome pack with tea, coffee and washing tablets was such a thoughtful touch. Beds were super comfy and it felt cosy despite the holiday vibe. Loved it!"

"We really enjoyed our stay here! The cottage was super cosy and private, yet close enough to town for convenience. The hot tub and underfloor heating made everything extra comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie were lovely hosts. Cant wait to return for a longer break soon!"
Michael - May 2024
"We had a lovely stay at this cosy little spot tucked away in a peaceful area. The owners were super friendly and made us feel really welcome, always happy to help if we needed anything. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling - absolute bliss! One thing to note, though, the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of plane noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but its worth mentioning if you're sensitive to sound. Overall, a great find!"
Raj - May 2024
"The place was perfect for us and the dogs-peaceful, quiet and the garden was a big plus!"

Clara - Apr 2024
"The place was pretty comfy and warm, which we appreciated. Its a bit of a trek from the car park to unload, but overall not too bad. Wouldve loved some bedside lamps though, the overhead lighting felt odd."
Alex - Feb 2024
"We stayed at Golden Coast during February half term and honestly, it was a mixed bag. When we arrived, we were told that nothing was open - no facilities, no entertainment, no arcade, which was pretty disappointing since that wasnt clear when we booked. Its only recently been updated on the website, so maybe theyre working on that. The villa itself was lovely - spacious, clean and perfect for our family of two adults and four kids. The only hiccup was the hot water in the shower - it kept running cold, though we managed by using the second one. All in all, it was okay, but we wish wed known about the closures beforehand."
Ellie - Feb 2024
"We really enjoyed our visit; the fields were perfect for walking the dogs and relaxing."
Harper - Jan 2024

"We’ve just had a fabulous week in the Golden Coast holiday village, the activities for the kids are amazing, the high ropes/climbing wall, outdoor heated pool were fantastic, we will be returning.
The only thing I would mention is that there is 1 queue for food and drink, which can take 20 minutes to get from the back to the front..and the connection for contactless payment needs speeding up.. apart from that, the staff are lovely, very friendly and helpful, just need more of them, or a different system at the bar."
Shirley - Aug 2022
