"We had such a great weekend here! The place was just perfect for what we needed and were already planning to return. Our dogs absolutely adored the underfloor heating, especially Luna who couldnt stop wagging her tail - she even strained it! The garden was a hit and everyone left happy. Definitely recommend for a cosy getaway with pets!"

"We had such a lovely stay at this cottage! The owners were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The place itself is adorable, with that charming half-timbered style and a really good shower. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made us feel right at home. Parking right outside was super convenient and the place was spotless and nicely heated. Perfect base for exploring Thaxted and the beautiful surrounding walks!"

"When we first arrived, the cottage was freezing and felt quite sparse - no curtains, just blinds, which was a bit surprising. The bathroom looked a bit tired, with exposed pipes and some holes in the walls, so not quite what we expected. The kitchen was pretty poorly stocked for a cottage meant for four; there was only one spoon, a few tired teaspoons and mismatched wine glasses. No table mats or can opener either, which was a bit disappointing. On the plus side, its really peaceful and perfect for a quiet retreat. The WiFi was solid and there was a decent selection of TV channels. Once we turned on the heating, it warmed up quickly and stayed cosy. Loved the high ceilings and exposed beams - really charming touches!"

"Our Glan Morfa Lodge Retreat review: We had a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon really put a lot of effort into beautifully restoring this historic building and it shows. They made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, along with Bonnie, of course. The location is perfect for exploring Essex - we enjoyed wandering around Thaxted and the nearby villages, soaking up the charm and history. Definitely a place we'd recommend for a relaxing break!"

"We had such a lovely stay in this peaceful spot, tucked away in a really private area. The hosts were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but we still felt totally secluded. The hot tub was just what we needed after a long day of cycling - absolute bliss! The only thing to note is that the cottage is right under the flight path at Stansted, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip at all. Wed definitely go back!"

"We stayed at Wren Cottage and really enjoyed it. The location was perfect and it had all the essentials we needed. A few small issues like a broken knife, a chipped cup and a sour smell from the fridge couldve been sorted before our arrival. Still, wed definitely come back!"

"We had a fantastic time at Glan Morfa Lodge! The cottage was spotlessly clean, modern and felt really cosy. Anglesey itself is stunning, with so many beaches-long sandy stretches and quaint bays with rock pools-perfect for exploring. We brought our dog along and there were plenty of woodl and walks nearby. The scenery is breathtaking and there's so much for families to enjoy. We packed a lot into our short break and would definitely come back!"
