We had a really lovely 4 night stay. The staff were friendly, the caravan was immaculate and looked brand new. Loved the hot tub, it was ready to jump in as soon as we arrived and was hot. We did a great walk on Lindisfarne and went for an excellent curry in Coldstream. Definitely recommend thanks

Beautiful caravan. Had everything we needed. There was an issue with the hot water one morning and the staff came up and fixed it straight away.

First time staying in the platinum 2, we stayed in the platinum 3 previously and it's the exact same model just minus a bedroom. Clean & modern with everything you need. Hot tub was toasting and we had partial views of the river tweed from our decking.

Perfect! Absolutely everything youd need for a relaxing break. I did swither on booking this due to it being a caravan, as I remember staying in caravans years ago and them being freezing. However, this was just lovely, warm and there was nothing we needed that wasnt there. It was really tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean! I think we might have been the first to stay in this particular caravan. There really isnt a single negative I could say but I could add small improvements such as a blackout blind in the bedroom and some kind of blind or curtain on the door but these are trivial and certainly can manage without.The hot tub was great and the wee fairy lights around the fence was a nice wee touch. My only gripe would be that the fence around the hot tub is not tall enough to keep you private. While in the hot tub its fine but getting in and out, which is when you feel most vulnerable, you are rather exposed to the other guests. Would defo recommend and will absolutely return.

pod had all needed 2 hobs, fridge with box freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster... Also has iron and iron board. everything with pod was good apart from bed.Hot tub surrounded by fence but only about 3ft could do with being higher and covered for more privacy... someone in the caravan had a good idea they took their own gazebo to go over the hot tub but as this was 1st time going were unaware of this.

The lodge was lovely so modern and clean. The rooms was massive and the kitchen living room diner was so nice and spacious! Had a full large decking with table and chair could sit and relax with a book. It looked over the hot tub which we enjoyed in the evenings once our little one was in bed. Honestly was a lovely stay wish was longer

Caravan almost new but fittings were a bit basic looking. The bed is far too soft

Beautiful new lodge (May 2023). Had everything that you would ever need and was spotlessly clean. Bed was so comfortable as was the sofa. Kitchen had absolutely everything that you would ever need and more. The lodge was very spacious for a sleep 4 and would easily accommodate 4 adults. The site is fairly new and well set out. This lodge is next to the kid's play ground which is not ideal but also not too bad either. There is only a 2 sided fence around the hot tub which make it not private at all as kids going to the park, dog walkers and cars are able to very easily view you in the hot tub - more fencing would easily sort this out. One other comment is that a side table in the living area is a must and not sure why there was not one.

The lodge was spotlessly clean and really enjoyed our stay.
Christopher
Brilliant & cosy cottage far enough out the way to be secluded but close enough to local amenities. Amazing hotub & bathroom with underfloor heating throughout tops it off. The owners, Rob & Sharon are wonderful! (And of course Bonnie) Will definitely be coming back again for longer ASAP!!
Emma
Beautiful cottage with hot tub and log burner. lovely hosts, peaceful, perfect for our mini break. Hope to return for longer soon!
Phoebe
Really well equipped house, lovely and warm too which was so nice on a rainy December day! Bath was just lovely and a nice big shower! The property is under a flight path - this did not disturb us at all! Dont be put off! A great location for dogs who hate fireworks as it's in the middle of nowhere. Really beautiful, well converted property. Thank you!
Andrew
It was everything we wanted for our weekend away and we loved staying here. We'll definitely be back! Our pups absolutely loved the underfloor heating and had so much fun in the garden. In fact Luna came home with a strained tail and according to the vet it was because she was wagging it so much over the weekend!! Very happy pups and hoomans!
Simon
Lovely cottage. Great location for us. Away from the hustle and bustle. Great hot tub . Lovely helpful non intrusive owners. They have it just right!
Brooke
Absolutely loved how well maintained and equipped this cottage is. Plenty of dog walks right on the doorstep. Very friendly host, they were so efficient and communication was excellent. We enjoyed meeting the animals on the farm and the very curious pig penelope. Perfect escape for us and the doggos. Will definitely be back, brilliant value!! Highly recommend.
Libby
Beautiful property, spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable, had a fabulous break, hot tub amazing x
James
Very kind and considerate owners. Couldnt be better. Enormously helpful and extremely pleasant. Charming half-timbered cottage with a great strong shower, cosy kitchen & living room combination and very comfortable bed. Fantastic parking directly next to the rented cottage. Well heated and very charming, and spotlessly clean. Great walks across the fields to the local village of Thaxted and of course within easy travelling distance of the village, replete with half-timbered houses and windmill.
Annemieke
We had a wonderful time in Goddard Mead. The cottage was very complete and there were walks on the doorstep. The welcome and stay was very warm. The owners are lovely people.
Carol
The owners Rob & Sharon, have gone to a great deal of work to sympathetically convert this historic building & we couldn't have had a warmer greeting from them both & of course Bonnie. Goddard's Mead has everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The location is in a great area of Essex and would recommend taking the time to wander around Thaxted and other villages/towns nearby to discover it's fascinating history & buildings.
Inderjit
Such a lovely place to stay in a really beautiful, private location. The owners were really friendly and helpful, nearby if needed but without breaking that sense of privacy. The hot tub was perfect after a day of cycling! One thing to be aware of, the cottage is right under Stansted's flight path, and so there's a lot of aircraft noise. It only took us a couple of hours to get used to it and it didn't spoil our holiday at all, but something to be aware of if you're sensitive to noise.
