We stayed at this lovely cottage and loved how peaceful it was, yet still near local shops and pubs. The hot tub was a real treat and the bathrooms underfloor heating kept everything super cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel really welcome. Cant wait to return!

Emily

We stayed at Little Gem and honestly, its a real treasure. The cottage is so well equipped, we didnt need to bring a thing! The welcome pack had all the info we could possibly need, plus handy menus. The owners, Sharon and Rob, were quick to respond whenever we had questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden - such a relief! The hot tub was fantastic after long days out. Thanks for a lovely break, well definitely be back. Such a wonderful place to unwind!

We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and absolutely loved it. Rob and Sharon have done an amazing job turning this historic building into a cosy and welcoming place. They couldnt have been kinder upon arrival, along with Bonnie, of course! The location is perfect for exploring Essex, especially if you enjoy wandering around charming villages like Thaxted. Its a peaceful spot with everything you need for a chilled break. Highly recommend!
