Had not hot water and boiler wasn't working when we arrived. Site tried and poor, bins not emptied often enough, parking terrible, pool wasn't brilliant. Local shop and beach not far away. Wouldn't go again.

We loved staying here! The rural setting is so peaceful and the courtyard with its slate really set the scene. The hot-tub made it feel super luxurious, perfect for unwinding after walks.

We recently stayed at Goddard's Mead and felt so welcomed by Rob, Sharon and Bonnie. Theyve really put a lot of effort into beautifully restoring this historic building and it shows. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing break. The location is ideal, nestled in a lovely part of Essex. We highly recommend exploring Thaxted and surrounding villages - so much history and charm to discover. Definitely a place to visit!

The caravan was generally quite clean, which was nice. A few issues like some dirty glassware and crisps shoved down the sofa were a bit off-putting, but overall okay.

We had a really relaxing stay. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed, plus some nice little extras. Highly recommend it!
