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 lodge, but should have air con given the cost to stay there.

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.

Perfect and homely! Everything you could possibly want or need was right there!

Lovely lodge with hot tub

Perfect for our family with a well equipped kitchen. Nice to have a private seating area outside.

Loved all the little touches to the sheep themed lodge. The hot tub and games were a lovely touch and had a great nights sleep. Superb clean and comfy didn’t want to leave!

Lovely lodge, great size, spotlessly clean and the welcome pack was a bonus… you really don’t 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! It’s 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 Thaxted’s restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. We’d 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 had a lovely stay at this charming cottage, the log burner and hot tub made it extra special. Hope to come back soon!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was charming and perfectly situated for peace and quiet. The hot tub was a lovely touch. Owners were friendly but not intrusive at all!

The lodge was lovely, super comfortable beds, the welcome pack was really appreciated and very good, the children loved the popcorn maker! Every little detail was considered and we had a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend

Really enjoyed our time here, the place was spotless, well-equipped and the hot tub was fantastic!

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

Brilliant experience in lovely surroundingsThings to do for all agesDeffinately would go againStaff friendly and helpful

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. It’s a really relaxing spot and we’d definitely recommend it if you're after a cosy getaway!

We had such a lovely weekend, there was so much to enjoy!

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying here! Honestly, we didn’t 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 there’s 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. We’ll 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 wasn’t the most comfy after a while, but overall, a great stay with high standards. Definitely recommend!

We had another fantastic stay at Simba Lodge recently. It’s our second visit and honestly, it didn’t disappoint. Everything was just as lovely as before-super clean, fresh and well-equipped. We did bring some extra towels because the hot tub was so popular and used quite a lot. The kitchen had everything we needed and the toiletries in the bathroom were a nice touch. Beds are incredibly comfy and having the smart TV and good WiFi really made our evenings relaxing. The only tiny gripe is that the shop was closed a couple of times when we wanted to pop in, but we get that it’s off-season and not always feasible to stay open. Maybe shorter hours could work better? Still, that’s a minor point. Overall, we’d definitely recommend Simba Lodge and are already looking at next year’s booking!

We had a lovely stay! Sharon and Robert were fantastic hosts, making us feel really at home. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and perfect for Archie with good security. The location couldn’t be better-lots of nice walks nearby and charming villages like Thaxted to explore. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed. All in all, a great break and we’d happily come back again!

We had such a lovely stay! The lodge was fantastic and our dog was totally spoiled with a welcome pack, bowls, towel and bed. The private garden was great too. Highly recommend!

We had such a great time with the Showman’s Wagon! The kids loved it and kept talking about it all day. Every time we got back on site, they were buzzing. Seeing it from the Ferris Wheel was definitely a highlight for them!

Honestly, it’s rare to find such top-notch service these days. We left feeling really happy and can't wait to come back. Thanks for making our weekend so special!

We spent a week here in July with our two tiny dachshunds and honestly, the place was lovely. The cottage itself is cosy and charming and the hot tub was such a treat - especially since we hit the hottest days of the year! It was great to see the hosts being so welcoming; you could tell they genuinely care. Watching the planes land near Stansted added a bit of excitement, even if it’s on the flight path. Our dogs loved making friends in the village of Thaxted and we’d definitely recommend this spot for a relaxing getaway. We’d come back for sure!

The lodge was absolutely lovely, perfect for a family getaway. We especially enjoyed the warm Welsh treats in the welcome pack. Highly recommend!

We stayed at this cosy cottage and loved the peaceful vibe, especially relaxing in the hot tub. Just a heads-up about the night planes from Stansted, though! Definitely worth it for a quiet escape.

We loved the lodge! Our little dog felt right at home, definitely recommend it.

We had a lovely stay at this charming place, tucked away in a peaceful spot. The hosts were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, while still respecting our privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day exploring on bikes! One thing to keep in mind, the cottage is directly 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. Would 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.
