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!
Emma

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!
Claire
Date of stay: 21st March 2025
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!
Emma

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!
Alex, Colchester
Date of stay: 11th February 2025
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!
Raj
Date of stay: 5th February 2025
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!
Emma, Dunstable

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!

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!
Alex
Date of stay: 10th October 2024
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!
Suzanne
What a lovely haven of tranquility, and relaxation. Totally, absorbed in the atmosphere and lovely to see deers grazing naturally.
Jo
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.
Lee
Superb all round thanks
Matt
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 :)
Chantelle
Great Place
Stuart
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.
Emma
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.
Jayne
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.
