We had a fantastic stay! The house was super well equipped and kept us really warm, which was a lifesaver on that rainy December day. The bath was a real treat and the shower was roomy and powerful. Even with the planes overhead, it didn’t bother us at all - don’t let that put you off. Perfect spot for dogs who dislike fireworks, so peaceful and scenic. Thanks a lot!

We stayed at this place during a rainy December and honestly, it was perfect. The house is super well equipped and kept us warm, which was much appreciated. The bath was fantastic and the shower was big enough to really enjoy. Even though it's under a flight path, we barely noticed the planes. Ideal for dogs that dislike fireworks, being in the middle of nowhere. Thanks so much!

We spent a week here in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, it was lovely. The village of Thaxted is charming and the cottage itself is really cosy. The hot tub was definitely a highlight-especially with the hot weather, cooling off in there was pure bliss. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel really welcome; it was nice to see their dogs being taken out for walks each day. Being on the flight path near Stansted didn’t bother us at all, in fact, I enjoyed watching the planes come in. Would happily stay again!

We had a fantastic weekend here and really enjoyed our stay. The place was perfect for what we needed and the garden kept our dogs amused for hours. Luna especially loved the underfloor heating-she was so cosy! Honestly, she wagged her tail so much she strained it, but she’s fine now. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon really put a lot of effort into restoring this historic building and it shows. They were super warm and welcoming and Bonnie was adorable. The place has everything you need for a comfy, relaxing break. Sitting in Essex’s lovely area, we enjoyed exploring Thaxted and the nearby villages - so much history and charm everywhere you turn. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway!

We loved staying at this cosy little cottage. It’s perfectly tucked away, so it feels secluded, but you’re still near everything you need. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating in the bathroom kept us warm. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made it even more special. Can’t wait to return!

We stayed at this charming little cottage and honestly, it had everything we needed - we didn’t have to pack much at all! The owners, Sharon and Rob, really thought of everything, from the super handy welcome pack to the little extras for our dogs. The enclosed garden was perfect for the pups and the hot tub was just the icing on the cake. They were quick to respond if we had questions, which was great. All in all, a lovely place for a relaxing break - we’ll definitely be back!

This lodge was absolutely amazing and I would 100% recommend coming here all the lodges are brand new and are beautiful inside and out we had staff come each day to check the chlorine levels in the hot tubs and over all was an amazing place to be and we will definitely be back soon

Beautiful lodge in stunning area of Pembrokeshire, near to Tenby and Saundersfoot
Lindsay
Lodge was lovely with superb views, site was peaceful and relaxing.
Andrew
Amazing place very peaceful and tranquil. Lodge was beautiful comfortable everything we could have wished for and more. Can’t wait to go back.
Kenneth
Lovely lodge and the grounds were well kept. Only a couple of things I would suggest some beer glasses would have been nice and a fan. The lodge did get fairly stuffy and a fan just to circulate the air would have been nice apart from that can’t fault it.
Carol
Very good. More casseroles dishes and cooking utensils needed and sharper knives.
Martin
Nice location. High quality lodge impeccably clean. Everything you could possibly need or want
Melissa
Lovely lodges,in a beautiful setting. As the lodges are slightly remote, the site would benefit from having a bar/restaurant on site.
Patricia
Love the site and setting and would recommend the lodge
Steven
Lovely quiet location, plenty to doin area. Conveniently located near adventure parks and short drive to beaches.
Jo
We stayed for 4nights with our two young children. It was boiling hot the day we arrived and we’d brought a paddling pool- the staff on site saw this and kindly brought us a hose to fill it quicker. The hot tub (turned down) doubled as a mini pool too which was fantastic. You are so close to so many fantastic attractions and beaches. Our little boy even caught his first fish on the lake.
We visited just before school holidays therefore prices were considerably lower.
We’ve stayed in a few uk lodges this year and this was definitely the nicest.
Sam
Absolutely beautiful would highly recommend easily the best lodge we have stayed in.
Tom
My family and I recently enjoyed a wonderful stay here at Lakeside Lodges. Very modern, open-planned living, clean, tidy with all you could need. Plenty of entertainment virtually on-site with amusements and activities at Heathertons. Well maintained parklands. Great hot-tub which was checked and maintained daily and we observed all hot-tubs drained, cleaned and re-filled during check-out. Very reassuring to know that all aspects of the Lodges are looked after and well maintained. The location was perfect - a 5 minute car journey to the coast. Spectacular views and clear blue/green sea. Many different places to eat with a healthy choice to suit all tastes. Tenby Harbour is lovely for a walk around with plenty of photo opportunities. Perfect lodge, perfect location, perfect holiday.
