Very comfy space, perfect for relaxing weekends away.

We really enjoyed the lodge’s layout and the location is spot on, couldn’t ask for better. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. That said, the lodges are starting to show their age - lots of marks on the walls and some fittings like the shower temp dials keep falling off. The bi-fold doors are broken and the sitting room chair is wobbly, needing the legs tightened. The hot tub arm is broken too, making it tricky for anyone with limited mobility to use, though we hear replacements are on the way. It’s not a deal-breaker, but with a bit more TLC, it could easily be a 5-star place.

We really enjoyed our visit, though a few things could be better. The lounge area was a bit cramped for eight of us and the dining table was too soft for comfort. Despite that, everything else was spot on! We’re already booked for next year!

Great service

We stayed at this lovely lodge recently. It’s really spacious and super comfy, but unfortunately the dishwasher wasn’t working. Staff were lovely though, gave us wine and washing up liquid. Overall, great stay!

We stayed at this lovely lodge recently. It’s really spacious and super comfy, but sadly the dishwasher wasn’t working. Staff were very apologetic and kindly offered us wine and washing up liquid. Overall, a great stay!

We stayed at the lodge recently and honestly, it was a great experience. The place felt spacious, especially the big living room, breakfast bar and dining area. The rear deck was perfect, with a hot tub for four and a garden with enough seats for six - ideal for relaxing outside. The master bedroom with the king bed and en suite was massive and the other bedrooms, including the twin, were comfortable. If there’s one thing, the beds were a bit noisy since they were metal frames, but overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Despite the heating issues during our stay, the staff were incredibly helpful and made sure we had heaters in every room.

Very comfy and elegant

The place was absolutely gorgeous, super modern and really well thought out. The staff, especially Niamh, went above and beyond to help us out. Would definitely recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge, though we did notice it was missing scissors, which would’ve been handy for opening food bags. Space was a bit tight for eight people to all sit together, but we managed to make it work somehow.

We loved this cosy little cottage! It’s tucked away enough for peace but still close to shops and local spots. The hot tub was a highlight and the underfloor heating in the bathroom made everything super comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie are lovely hosts. Can’t wait to return!

The cottage was absolutely lovely, with a cosy log burner and hot tub that we really enjoyed. The hosts were so friendly too! We’d love to come back soon for a longer stay. It was just the peaceful getaway we needed.

Really enjoyed our stay, the place was spotless, comfy and the hot tub was a real highlight!

We stayed at this lovely cottage recently and honestly, the owners couldn’t have been kinder or more thoughtful. They were super helpful from start to finish, making us feel really welcomed. The place itself is adorable-such a charming half-timbered build with a really powerful shower and a cosy kitchen and living space. The bed was incredibly comfy and parking right next to the cottage was a real plus. It’s well heated, spotless and perfect for exploring the nearby fields and Thaxted’s beautiful half-timbered houses and windmill. We’d definitely recommend it!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead. The cottage was well-equipped and perfect for relaxing walks right from the doorstep. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Lovely experience!

From the moment we arrived, Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel super welcome. They've really put a lot of effort into preserving the charm of this old building and it shows. The place is perfect for a chilled-out break, with everything you might need. The location is spot on - in a lovely part of Essex. We’d definitely suggest taking a wander around Thaxted and the surrounding villages to soak up the history and stunning architecture. It’s well worth it!

Really enjoyed our stay, the place was so calming and perfect for our dog to run around.

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay. The cottage was spotless, well-stocked and had some lovely little touches. Definitely recommending it to friends!

Really enjoyed our stay here; the place was lovely and we’re definitely planning to return soon.

We had a lovely stay! The owners were really friendly and went out of their way when the storm knocked out the power. The place was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and we enjoyed the hot tub too!

Really enjoyed the calm atmosphere, Jacuzzi was a proper highlight! Definitely returning.

It was really nice, especially strolling around the fields with the dogs - they loved it!

Really enjoyed staying here, lovely hosts and the jacuzzi was just what we needed! Great time.

This place is really charming, tucked away in a peaceful countryside setting. The courtyard with slate was lovely and the hot tub made it feel extra special. Perfect for relaxing walks nearby!

Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really went above and beyond. Very relaxing, we’ll be telling all our friends about it!

We had a wonderful stay, with every detail carefully considered. The hosts were super friendly and really helpful, making us feel at home. The location was just stunning. Definitely planning to come back sometime soon!

We had such a lovely stay at the cottage! The location was perfect-peaceful and super relaxing, with stunning farm views. The horses were a nice surprise and the owners were genuinely friendly, making sure we felt at home. Definitely a spot we’d recommend for anyone wanting a quiet getaway.

The cottage was really charming and perfect for a peaceful getaway. The only thing to note is the occasional night-time plane noise from Stansted, but the hot tub definitely made up for it!

Had a fabulous long weekend, the views alone were worth the cost! Supermarkets are only a short drive away and the staff were lovely and helpful, even going as far as texting to let us know about potential roadworks on route! I honestly couldn’t fault a single thing.

Absolutely lovely spot, accommodation perfect. Modern, clean and accessible.

The lodge was lovely, well furnished and clean & tidy, easy to find

Lovely views hotbs nice lodge is modern and spacious ?we loved our stay

This is the second time we have been here within a few months first at the Maple Lodge and this time at the Oak Lodge. Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish, breathtaking lodges with panoramic views. Plenty activities available and Nottingham City only 20mins Drive, Tesco, Home Bargains Mac’ds only 1mile away. The lighting at night outside is fantastic for hot tub and to do a bbq anytime day or night with shelter. All I can say is it’s a hidden gem book it and you won’t regret it. Look out for offers!

The venue itself it beautiful it is set on a gorgeous estate with amazing views. The staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Lodges where excellent but could of been more Kitchen equipment ie. Measuring jug and mixing bowels and tea towels dish clothes and hand soap .

Had an amazing stay at Goosedale would definitely Recommend to family and friends. Staff are very friendly and helpful the lodge was very clean and tidy. I will be booking again next year.
