44 reviews from guests who stayed at Looe Coastal Retreat
The layout was nice and it even had a little utility room which housed the washing machine. A few items which are a little worn or rusty need replacing
Lovely and clean with all the extras..
I thought it was very good value for money, it was a very spacious cabin with a hotub, it had everything we needed, kettle, toaster, large microwave, large fridge freezer, oven and hob, and even had a dishwasher with acouple of dishwasher tablets left for us, lot's of towels, x3 toilet rolls, some soap and a little bottle of washing up liquid. It had a decent size smart tv in the lounge and a small tv in the main bedroom and a music system that you could connect your phone via Bluetooth, and it had WiFi which was very good and never let us down.
Quite enjoyed the stay
The lodge was lovely and the setting beautiful, but I have to say, its quite pricey for what you get around here. Still, worth a visit!
We had such a wonderful, chill-out escape. The cottage was spotless, had all we needed plus some nice little touches. Highly recommend it!
Well be returning next year!
Really worth trying out
The owners were really welcoming and super helpful when the power went out during the storm. The place was spotless, warm and comfy. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and we enjoyed the hot tub too! Lovely stay.
We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and were genuinely impressed. Rob and Sharon have done a fantastic job turning this historic building into a cosy, welcoming place. From the warm greeting we received from them and Bonnie to the lovely surroundings, it really felt like a home away from home. The location is perfect for exploring Essexs charming villages like Thaxted, which is worth wandering around for its fascinating history and beautiful buildings. Definitely recommend!
We had a really relaxing stay here! The site was super quiet and easy to settle into, with everything clean and ready when we arrived. The hot tub was a real highlight, perfect after a long day. Parking right outside was handy. We did miss having a coffee table in the lounge and a bit more storage for food, but nothing major. The beds were a bit short for us, which was a surprise since we're not tall, but overall the place felt modern and comfy. Check-in was seamless-no fuss, keys inside and we didnt need to see anyone, which was great during these times. Would definitely recommend!
Really enjoyed the stay
We had an amazing stay at this place! The owners are genuinely lovely and went out of their way to help us. The cottage is super charming, with that classic half-timbered look that we loved. The shower was powerful and the cosy kitchen and living space made us feel right at home. Parking right next to the cottage was a real bonus and everything was spotless. Plus, the nearby walks to Thaxted are just perfect for a peaceful getaway. Highly recommend!
Really enjoyed the stay, would recommend!
We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon really put their heart into converting this historic place and it shows. From the warm welcome we received from them and Bonnie to the cosy, comfortable rooms, everything felt just right. The location's perfect too - exploring Thaxted and nearby villages revealed some really charming sights and stories. Definitely worth a visit if youre after a relaxing break in Essex!
Not cheap got 2 days, but to run a hot tub permanently is not cheap, chlorinated every day and emptied after our stay do good hygiene. Great hot tub for 2 which we made good use of. Spacious accommodation , comfortable, pretty lousy water presure in the shower but always warm.
Such a lovely spot, really quiet and the jacuzzi was fantastic!
The place was super clean and comfy and they kept the hot tub checked daily.
Really pleased with it, especially for now.
We had a fantastic stay! The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed. The owner was really friendly and made us feel welcome. The hot tub was pristine too. Honestly, couldnt fault it - would definitely recommend for a Cornwall getaway!
We were a bit let down because the hot tub wasn't working, which was quite disappointing for us.
We had a fantastic time! The lodge was super spacious and spotless. The hot tub was a real highlight. Definitely recommend it!
Honestly, we were a bit disappointed because Lime Shore Deluxe (No: 6) didnt back onto a hedge like we were told, so privacy was lacking when using the hot tub. We only used it once because of that. Still, weve already booked again for next April in a different van, so not all bad!
Clean, cosy, well-stocked - a lovely experience overall!
Really enjoyed our stay, the place was spotless and staff made us feel so welcome too.
We had such a lovely stay at the cottage! The place was super peaceful and in a stunning spot - loved the views of the horses and the quiet farm surroundings. The owners were really friendly and made us feel right at home. Definitely a great spot for a relaxing getaway, highly recommend!
We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon put so much care into restoring this historic building and their warm welcome really made us feel at home. Bonnie was adorable too! The location is perfect for exploring Essex - we spent ages wandering around Thaxted and nearby villages, soaking in the charm and history. Its a peaceful spot, ideal for a relaxing break. Definitely recommend if you want to unwind and explore a bit!
The owners really went above and beyond. We had such a relaxing stay, totally recommend it to anyone we know!
We had an amazing stay here! The lodge was incredibly clean, honestly the cleanest place we've ever stayed in. Everything from the oven to the bin, bedding and surfaces seemed br and new - it was spotless. We really appreciated the little touches, like the milk in the fridge and tea and coffee sachets, which made a difference. When we asked about using a disposable BBQ, they went out of their way to make a st and for us, which was so kind. Weve already booked for next year because we loved it so much. We were a bit worried about Covid, but felt very safe - they even ask if you've experienced any symptoms when you check out. The park and play area for kids are perfect for families. Its a peaceful spot, close to Looe, with lovely views and parking right next to the lodges. Overall, cant recommend it enough!
Good little place, everything we needed for self-catering.
We love the caravan, nice and clean with a lovely balcony, 5min away from town center ?
An amazing place to stay, will definitely be back!
Fantastic place!
Beautiful site, lovely accommodation,very clean and well equipped. Handy for lots of attractions/beaches.
Only downside was the early check-out time
Great place, well maintained and stocked with plenty of plates, cups, glasses etc. Very quite location but close enough to shops and beach's.
Really good family holiday! Couple of little beaches nearby within 10 minute car ride, and a popular beach at looe bay within 10 minute drive with parking available. Would definitely book again the lodge was very clean and beautiful. Hot tub was great! Site is a really nice quiet site with nice views. However a car is needed as you cannot walk to beaches less than 30/40 min walk but that didnt put us off as the drive is under 10 minutes. Only downfall is the site shop isnt that great due to opening times and stock but shops nearby. Overall very nice site, friendly staff and would book again next year!
Stunning place, accommodation was fantastic and staff helpful and friendly. Absolutely will be going back.
This place is beautiful the accomodation was perfect so clean and in lovely surroundings
Enjoyed it that much have rebooked for next year
We had a fantastic stay in our deluxe caravan with hot tub. Absolutely beautiful, spacious and well equipped. We loved the big bean bag in the living room, nice touch ?. Really enjoyed our week and didn't want to leave ?. The beaches we drove to from our location were all roughly around 20 to 30 minutes away but totally worth it as they are stunning and a feeling of being in the med. Crystal clear water, absolutely beautiful. Definitely be back.
From the moment we stepped foot in the park we were in love, the scenery was perfect, the accommodation was amazing.. we hated leaving and absolutely would love to come back.
Stunning property Immaculate and everything you need for a quite retreat the hot tub is the icing on the cake
Really nice place
Lovely accommodation, great location and close to most facilities/ would definitely come again
Lovely park, perfect location to Looe and Polperro. Stunning scenery. The accommodation was lovely and clean, very spacious and luxurious, the hot tub made it even more luxurious!! Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return!!!
