Expensive for what is after all a tent. Apart from 1 dish, 1 tea plate and 1 dinner plate each there was little other crockery so we had to put tiny amounts of baby food and baked beans in the microwave in one of the dishes then wash so someone else could use it to eat from. It always seems to me that the people who equip these accommodations never try using them for a night to see what you actually need.

Fantastic holiday with the grandkids. They loved staying in a tent. Everything was lovely and clean, and we were provided everything you would have expected in a caravan holiday and more. Overall we loved it and cant wait to go back.

5 star lodge! Our first words were wow! The setting was perfect and the lodge was so beautiful inside and out. Very clean and the attention to detail was spot on. The lodge had everything we needed as a family and more. The welcome pack was a great touch and well received. The lodge is decorated beautifully and all the furniture is clean and very comfortable. Housekeeping do a fantastic job. The seating area outside gave a great view and the hot tub, perfect. Highly recommend this lodge.

Excellent accommodation plenty of room for our party of 9 with everything you need provided. Whilst not cheap when you take into account the benefits it is definitely value for money. Good sized secure garden which is great for kids during down time. Plenty of parking for up to 6 cars.

Gorgeous house with lovely views.Welcome package on arrival was a nice touch and was enjoyed by all. We had a thoughtful enjoyable stay but just a few of niggles that could easily be sorted- grass wasnt cut and with 2 children it made playing ball games a bit tricky.Only one round bench in garden- would definitely benefit from some more garden furniture as with 10 of us we couldnt all sit outside, some lounge chairs near the hot tub would be great. It was very hot at there is no parasol for shade.No welcome instructions - took a long time to work out how to use the hob!! Also nothing to light the fire which luckily wasnt needed but we couldnt light the candles on the birthday cake. Otherwise a lovely stay. Hot tub was serviced daily which was great, we thought someone might of checked if all was okay but we were left to it.

We had a fantastic stay in one of the hotels pet friendly fairground lodges. The accommodation was spotless and there was a very generous welcome bag with lots of essentials and some lovely treats too. Even the dog had things left for him. Having park access throughout our stay too was fantastic especially with a toddler! Cannot recommend Folly Farm enough, thank you for a wonderful visit.

Lovely lodge, great size, spotlessly clean and the welcome pack was a bonus you really dont need to take much! Washing up liquid, tea towels, loo roll, dishwasher tablets, tea, coffee, sugar, bread, butter and milk were just some of the offerings. Towels and linen all provided as per lodge amenities describes. Hot tubs checked twice daily.

We had a really lovely stay at this cottage! Its tucked away on a working farm, but feels super private and peaceful. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely people. The place itself is spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that made us feel right at home. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely secluded with nice furniture. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxteds restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!

We just got back from a fantastic four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are really friendly and helpful but not intrusive, which was perfect. The big fenced garden was great for our dog to run around freely. The place had everything we needed and the hot tub was absolutely brilliant! We even used the BBQ one evening. Definitely planning to come back and already told friends about it. Thanks for a lovely break!

We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and were really impressed. Rob and Sharon clearly put a lot of effort into converting this historic building with care and respect. They were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived and Bonnie made it even more special. The location is perfect for exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages-so much history and charming architecture to enjoy. Its a really relaxing spot and wed definitely recommend it if you're after a cosy getaway!

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying here! Honestly, we didnt want to leave at all. The lodges are truly luxurious, with such attention to detail - plus, they greeted us with a lovely local goodie bag which was a nice touch. The handsoap and toiletries, all made locally, were just divine! We stayed in the Torwen lodge; it was spotless, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a comfy stay. The hot tub was a real highlight - so relaxing! What we really appreciated was the unlimited entry to Folly Farm, which included our arrival and departure days. We managed to explore so much, from Tenby to Haverfordwest and theres plenty of food options nearby, including takeaways. We ordered a Chinese from Dragon Palace, which was delicious and they deliver right to the site. The staff were fantastic - always at the end of the phone, making sure everything was perfect. Well definitely be coming back soon!

We stayed at this lodge recently and it was really lovely. The place was spotless and the hot tub was well-kept and relaxing. The sofa wasnt the most comfy after a while, but overall, a great stay with high standards. Definitely recommend!
Great lodge etc. The main issue is the lack of food facilities. Folly farm itself stops serving food too early that your stuck for options for dinner. Think you should look into this if you grow thw accommodation park.
This was an enchanting experience with the wonderful facility of the webcams to be able to continue the attachment to the park.
The park offered soo much with beautifully cared for animals and such a wonderful variety of entertainment, activity and education. Also to be able to visit for a few consecutive days made it really feel like home.
We were a bit concerned about the loud volume of the music in the barn for the large mammals especially. We also hope that the white small pony, donkies and other ponies get time roaming green fields as were worried that they could get depressed in restricted circumstances with the aural oppressivness of the music. Of course it's only for part of the day - so as long as they do get outside some of the time... ??????
A great place to stay with the added bonus of unlimited entry into Folly Farm Park to visit the animals.
The park was amazing plenty to see and do adults and children were happy?
Lovely time, had 4 nights for just over £300 for 3 of us in the showmans wagon which was lovely, not too big or small but ideal for 3 people. We had entry to the park every day included, even the last day! Loaf of bread, toffee waffles, tea, coffee & pint of milk left for us. Lovely & clean! Park on site was a bit big for 2 year old but managed, could do with one down by the wagons mind. 1 light in the van was flickering but not a massive thing as we used the side light which was ample. Had to get most of the ice out of the little freezer in the fridge as it wasn't shutting very well. 1 or 2 of the rides weren't operating and most rides you have to be 1 metre tall. Co-op not far away & a bit further, you have b&m, tesco, kfc, mcd's and other shops. No pub on site or anywhere to purchase alcohol on site. Overall it was very good but limited if it is raining - there is an indoor play area, rides etc but not much else. Lots of animals to see & would definitely go again
Lovely clean park, next Folly Farm, which is a great place if you have children. Warden was very helpful & gave us all the information we needed. Would certainly return for a future visit.
folly farm is a good family attraction - plenty of things to keep the kid’s amused
We had 4 days of excellence so much to see and do
Absolutely stunning accommodation, no faults!
Quiet and so relaxing
Hot tub was lovely
No issues, can highly recommend.
Brilliant holiday. Had a lovely time and would definitely go again.
Great place to stay, the lodges are new and the free entry to the park is fantastic.
Folly Farm is brilliant for adults and kids of all ages.
You realy can hear the lions roar and monkeys chatter when sitting on the balcony.
Fab holiday fab location can't wait to return
Great holiday, the kids loved the farm park and the showmans wagon, the only negative for us was lack of storage space but we didn't let that get in the way of having a great holiday.
All the staff were very friendly.
The lodge was beautiful and very clean. Hot tub was lovely but unfortunately due to the very warm weather it was set to high of temperature 38 degrees and no controls to adjust. The staff on the fairground rides was not helpful at all and made us feel like we were an inconvenience
Had a lovely weekend break in one of the wagons. The staff were fantastic and very helpfull. The wagon was spotless and even had a surprise breakfast hamper when we arrived.
Having the tickets included in our stay was great as we come and went as we pleased and had plenty of time to do everything in folly farm a few times over. Would definitely recommend staying here.
