"We loved this charming cottage! Its perfectly tucked away for some peace but still near local shops and cafes. The hot tub was a highlight and the underfloor heating kept everything nice and warm. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Cant wait to return!"
Sammy - Feb 2025
"We had a really lovely time staying here. Sharon and Robert were such warm hosts, making us feel totally at home. The place was spotlessly clean, super comfy and perfect for Archie with good security. The location couldnt have been better-loads of great walks and the nearby villages like Thaxted are just charming. Honestly, we left feeling totally relaxed and recharged. Definitely a break we needed!"

"Our Golden Gate review: We needed a quick escape and this place hit the spot! Lovely cosy accommodation, just a short stroll to some great pubs and eateries. The fields around are perfect for dog walks, he loved it! We didnt want to leave."

"We stayed at Little Gem and honestly, its a real treasure! The cottage is so well equipped, we didnt need to bring anything. Loaded up the car thinking wed need extras, but everything was already there. The welcome pack was super helpful, with clear info and menus-very thoughtful. The little touches for our dogs and us made it extra special. Sharon and Robe were quick to reply if we had questions. The enclosed garden was perfect for the pups and the hot tub was a real highlight. Great break, would definitely come back!"
Sam - Jan 2025
"We just got back from a four-night stay at this cosy cottage and honestly, we had a great time. The owners are super friendly but not pushy - theyre there if you need anything, which was perfect. The fenced garden was a massive plus for our dog and the place had everything we needed, including a barbecue. The hot tub was fantastic! Were already telling friends about it and would definitely come back. Thanks for a lovely break!"

"We loved the caravan's size-really spacious and comfy, though a few bits looked a bit worn. When the electric went out one night, we called emergency support and they arrived super quick. Big thumbs up to Golden Gate!"
Emma Roberts - Nov 2024
"We had a lovely stay at Golden Gate, but the Signature range was a bit underwhelming. We expected more than just the basics, especially since there were no towels, the bedding needs an upgrade and the kitchen utensils were quite limited. Still, enjoyed our time overall."
Rachel Turner - Sep 2024
"The caravan was just right for our stay, good value and the pool was spotless. Staff really friendly too. Well be back for sure!"
Jamie - Sep 2024
"We stayed at this place recently and honestly, it's got everything you need. The house was super cosy and warm, which was perfect given the rainy December weather. The bath was a real treat and the shower was big enough to splash around in! Location-wise, its in the middle of nowhere, so perfect if your dogs hate fireworks. No noise from the flight path either, so dont worry about that. Thanks a lot, we really enjoyed it!"
Jessie - Aug 2024
"We had a fantastic weekend here! The place really ticked all the boxes for us and were already planning to return. Our dogs adored the underfloor heating and the garden - Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it, but shes fine now, thankfully! Great spot, lovely vibes, definitely a hit with us all."
Daniel - Aug 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay, already booked for next year!"
Simon - Aug 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead! The cottage had everything we needed and the walks right outside were perfect. The owners were so friendly and made us feel really welcome. Lovely experience!"
Elaine - Jul 2024
"We really enjoyed staying here. The cottage's peaceful spot was perfect for us, away from busy areas. The hot tub was a lovely bonus. Owners were super helpful without being intrusive. Theyve got it just right!"
Oliver - Jun 2024

Charlotte - Jun 2024
"Really enjoyed it overall, just a shame about the weather!"
Alex - May 2024
"We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot tucked away in such a peaceful, secluded area. The owners were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, but it still felt private enough to relax completely. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling! Only thing to note is the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much after a while, but might be worth considering if you're sensitive to noise. All in all, a great little getaway!"
Raj - May 2024
"We had a fantastic weekend at this place! Everything we hoped for was there and we really enjoyed our stay. The garden was perfect for our dogs and they adored the underfloor heating-Luna was wagging her tail nonstop! She even came back a bit strained, but its all part of the fun. Well definitely come back soon!"
Michael - May 2024
"We loved this place! Its tucked away in such a peaceful spot, perfect for relaxing. The owners are really warm and approachable, always happy to help if needed but they respect your privacy completely. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling, honestly. The only thing to mention is that the cottage is directly under the flight path at Stansted, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but its worth considering if noise bothers you. Overall, a lovely stay!"
Rajiv - Dec 2023
"We really enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. The peaceful area was perfect for relaxation and the hot tub was a lovely bonus. Owners were friendly but not overbearing. Just right!"
George - Nov 2023
"We stayed in this caravan recently and honestly, the highlight was definitely the hot tub - it was such a nice touch! The beds were really comfy and overall, the van was kept clean, which was great. Sadly, the vacuum cleaner didnt work and the brush was missing from the dustpan and brush set, which was a bit of a pain. We also had to buy extra teaspoons and glasses because there werent enough for everyone in our party. The site itself, though, was a bit disappointing. The clubhouse was quite filthy, especially the carpet in the tiny kids play area. The pool was tiny and the shop was so small you could barely get in without bumping into someone. The kids area was chaotic, with kids running around and swearing, which wasnt ideal. The place felt a bit cliquey and finding a free table was tricky. On the plus side, the door staff, bar staff and pool staff were friendly - just a shame about the rest."

Lucy - Aug 2023
"We had a really relaxing stay at this lovely spot, tucked away in a peaceful, private area. The owners are super friendly and always there if you need anything, but they respect your privacy completely. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling. Just a heads up, the cottage sits 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 to unwind!"

"Looking forward to returning next year already!"
Emily - Aug 2019
"We had a great stay! The kids absolutely loved the entertainment and all the activities included. Highly recommend!"
Sarah - Aug 2019
"Clean site, didn't use many of the facilities so based my rating upon the choice of facilities that were available. Another bin area would be useful as it was a fair trek to the bins, other than that it was a clean, quiet site, well maintained and would be happy to visit again."
Anthony - Jul 2022

Phyllis - Jul 2022

Even though our paperwork said it was completely...
Must add not enough pillows for each bed."
Barry - Jul 2022
