Cherry Bird Country Park

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely hosts, cosy cottage and the jacuzzi was a real treat! Happy days!

The owners really went above and beyond! We had such a relaxing stay and will definitely tell our friends about it.

We had a fantastic time! Julie and her team went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The place was stunning and super cosy. Definitely a spot we’ll return to!

We had such a lovely stay! Everything was well thought out and the place was perfect for what we needed. The hosts were super friendly and really helpful. Can't wait to come back again someday!

We recently stayed in the R3 Platinum Spa Six lodge for four nights and genuinely enjoyed ourselves. The setting is perfect for relaxing, with peaceful countryside walks along the canal and nearby spots like the nature discovery centre and Greenham Common add a nice touch. Our lodge was surprisingly spacious and had everything we needed - though a few more kitchen utensils would’ve been handy. We kicked off the year with a BBQ that turned out to be delicious and the hot tub was just what we needed after a busy day. The staff were lovely, especially the lady at reception and the maintenance guy, who were very helpful. We’d definitely recommend it for a quiet, relaxing escape!

We had a fantastic stay! The lodges were spotless, comfy and well-equipped. The peaceful setting with plenty of wildlife was just what we needed. Cheryl and her team made us feel so welcome - we’ve already booked to come back. Highly recommend this place!

We had a really lovely time and can’t thank Sharon and Robert enough for making us feel so at home. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and perfect for Archie with a secure garden. The location was great, plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted’s a charming spot to explore. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed after such a peaceful break. Would happily come back again!

We stayed here again and it was just as stunning and tranquil as last time. The staff were really helpful if anything came up. Thanks for another lovely visit. We definitely plan to return soon!

Really enjoyed our stay, the garden was perfect for the dogs and it was so peaceful here.

We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead. Rob and Sharon did a fantastic job transforming this historic building with real care and they were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived-plus Bonnie was adorable! The place has everything you need for a chill, comfy break. The location is spot on too, in a lovely part of Essex. We’d definitely recommend exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages - loads of interesting history and pretty sights to discover!

We really enjoyed our stay at this place. The lodge looked modern and was spotless. It had all we needed, though we did miss WiFi, but it was nice to switch off for a bit. One of the bed sheets was a bit dusty, but the caretaker sorted us out quickly. Definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay at this place, tucked away in such a peaceful, private spot. The owners were genuinely friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but it never felt intrusive. The hot tub was a real highlight after cycling all day! The only thing to keep in mind is that the cottage is right under Stansted's flight path, so there’s quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didn’t ruin our trip at all. We’d definitely go back!

Comfortable stay, especially during Covid when some amenities were missing.

Had a lovely weekend here, would definitely recommend it for anyone needing a peaceful getaway. Cheers!

Had an amazing time at Goddards Mead! The cottage was perfect, really well-equipped and cosy. Can't wait to return!

The house was stunning, super clean and comfy, perfect for our relaxing weekend. The hot tub was a highlight!

We had a wonderful, chilled-out stay. The cottage was spotless, well-stocked and had some lovely little touches. Highly recommended from us!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is perfect for a peaceful escape and Sharon and Robert truly go above and beyond to make sure everything's just right. We'll definitely be back again soon!

Really enjoyed our stay, the place had everything needed.

We had such a lovely stay at the cottage! The setting was perfect-serene and calm, with stunning views of the farm and the horses. The owners were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. If you're after a peaceful escape, we’d definitely suggest giving it a try. Great experience!

We had a lovely stay! The owners are genuinely friendly and went out of their way when the power cut during the storm. The cottage was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and we enjoyed the hot tub-definitely a great getaway!

Great experience, will return soon

We booked this place for a dog walking break and it was just what we needed. Lovely quality accommodation, plenty of nearby pubs and eateries and endless fields for walks. Our dog didn’t want to leave at all!

We loved this lodge! Such a spacious place with really lovely decor. The hot tub was just perfect for relaxing after a long day. Everything felt so cosy and well thought out, really made our trip special. Would definitely recommend to friends looking for a nice getaway!

The lodge was really lovely-spacious, modern and spotlessly clean. We just wish there was better lighting on the decking; it got pretty dark early!

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage! It’s tucked away on a working farm but feels surprisingly private, which was perfect for us. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are such friendly folks - really made us feel welcome. The place itself is really spacious, with a well-stocked kitchen and a comfy bed that we didn’t want to leave. The garden is lovely, dog-proof and perfect for relaxing. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted’s eateries, especially The Star and The Maypole, are worth checking out. We’d happily recommend it!

Great lodge, super comfy, loads of space, hot tub was brilliant!

Really enjoyed the stay, everything was spacious and super comfy.

We had a lovely stay and will be booking again soon.

We had a fantastic stay! The hot tub was definitely a highlight. The only thing we found tricky was the limited storage-packing for five for four nights was a bit tight. Still, we enjoyed ourselves a lot and would happily come back again.

What a lovely haven of tranquility, and relaxation. Totally, absorbed in the atmosphere and lovely to see deers grazing naturally.

The lodge wasn't too close to other lodges and parking is away enough not to be looking at cars everywhere outside lodges but close enough to pop to quick if you need something. Very friendly staff who are helpful and approachable if needed. Plenty to do in the surrounding area! The grass was kept tidy, and the area in general was well kept. It appears pretty secure with gates. Option to go on walks from the park.

Superb all round thanks

I`m traveling a lot around UK to different lodges for a family breaks. This one I have to say was really nice: -very modern , newly built lodge -nice quiet place -perfect for families wanted to go out from the cities to have a nice relaxing time Only minus I could find it was no WIFI, and next time I would definitely book lodge with hot tube. This lodges are highly recommended :)

Great Place

Lovely lodge, tranquil peaceful setting, the lodge we had which was R1 in my opinion was the best one as we had a lovely huge lawn and green area directly outside the Lodge. Perfect for my 3 kids and the dog. Lodge was clean and beautiful inside, very spacious bedrooms, plenty of room all round. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

I can't recommend this country park enough, beautiful setting yet only a stones throw from the town and supermarkets. The lodges themselves are simply superb, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The wildlife in the country park is superb, I am certain that we will be back again jn the near future. Thank you for having us and allowing us to appreciate everything at the park.

Fantastic modern lodges!! Staff were extremely helpful, someone came and checked the hot tub every day. We were given dishwasher tablets on arrival which was ideal!! Views are stunning, beautiful walks near by.

Great Park , relaxing quiet area with plenty of wildlife to keep us entertained . Very helpful and friendly site staff made for a really enjoyable break - thoroughly reccomended

Beatifull lodge and nice surroundings.
