"Really enjoyed our stay here, the place is so calm and perfect for our furry friends."
Clara - May 2025
"We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is stunning and incredibly private, perfect for relaxing away from the hustle. The owners are genuinely friendly and always ready to help without intruding. The hot tub was a real highlight after a day out cycling-it really made our trip special. One thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to Stansted's flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but it might be a concern if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, a fantastic place!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead. The cottage had everything we needed and was super cosy. Loved the walks right from the doorstep. The welcome was warm and the owners are genuinely lovely people!"

"We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and honestly, the hosts Rob and Sharon really put in a lot of effort into preserving the charm of this old building. They greeted us warmly and Bonnie was lovely too! The place has everything you need for a chilled out break. The location is spot on - perfect for exploring Thaxted and other nearby villages with their rich history and gorgeous old buildings. Definitely worth a visit!"

"Our Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa review: Really enjoyed our stay"
Emma Carter - Nov 2024
"We had such a lovely stay in this peaceful spot! The place feels really private, yet the owners are super friendly and nearby if we needed anything. After a long day of cycling, the hot tub was just what we needed-absolute bliss. One thing to note, its directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of noise from the planes. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth mentioning. Overall, a great getaway with just a tiny quirk!"

Sammy - May 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay! The place was quite roomy and had everything we needed in the kitchen - plenty of utensils and a big dining table which made eating in a breeze. The lounge was comfy, perfect for our family of four adults and two kids to unwind after dinner. The veranda wrapping around two sides was lovely for soaking up the sun and the gate kept the little ones safe. Would definitely come back!"
Michael - May 2024
"We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage! Its kitted out with everything you could possibly need, honestly, we didnt have to bring a thing. The welcome pack was packed with useful info and menus, really thoughtful touch. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs to run around safely and they loved it! The hot tub was definitely a highlight-absolutely fantastic. Sharon and Rob were super quick to respond to any questions, which was much appreciated. Thanks for a really relaxing break!"

Harriet - Aug 2023
"We had such a lovely weekend stay here! The place really ticked all our boxes and were already planning to return. Our dogs couldnt get enough of the underfloor heating and playing outside in the garden. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, but it just shows how much fun everyone had. Happy pups, happy us!"

"We had a really lovely stay at this holiday park. The facilities are top-notch and there's plenty to keep everyone entertained. The bus service to Weymouth is so handy, making trips into town super easy. Our kids loved the soft play area that stays open late - it gave us a bit of a break! The food in the sports bar was tasty and reasonably priced, which was a bonus. We didnt try the gym, but the indoor and outdoor pools were fantastic, especially for the little one. The entertainment suited all ages and our caravan was in great shape. Overall, its definitely one of the best parks we've visited!"
Jamie - Jun 2018
"Really lovely caravan better than expected,our only criticism is for a 5 star site no welcome pack. That would have made it excellent, we loved it anyway just a small thing but they make a big difference."

"After yet another great holiday, happy to give Waterside the thumbs up.
We have returned to this facility time and time again, as we always feel we have a good time.
True to say, there were no surprises, just a great place to holiday and always everything was to our liking."

"We’ve just come back from a week at Waterside and we were sad to leave. Would definitely recommend staying here. The site was very clean, the facilities were great, the staff were friendly and helpful and the location was good. We loved the pools and the evening entertainment. We hired kayaks and paddle boards from the site, it was so much fun. We’ve already booked to go back, can’t wait !!"
