Very cramped and small. Would have liked a dishwasher.

We had such a great weekend here! The place was perfect for what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. Our dogs had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating - they were so comfy! The garden was lovely for them to explore. Luna wagged her tail so much she strained it, but she’s fine now. We’ll definitely return!

We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead! The cottage had everything we needed and the walks right outside were perfect. The warm welcome from the owners made it all even better. Lovely people!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was perfect for a peaceful escape, though the planes at night from Stanstead could be a bit noisy. The hot tub was fantastic!

We recently spent a week here from July 15th to 22nd with our two tiny dachshunds and they absolutely loved every minute, making friends with some village pups. The cottage itself is charming and the hot tub was such a treat-especially during the scorching heat, it was cool and super refreshing. The hosts were really friendly and welcoming and it was lovely to see their horses being taken out to the fields daily. Being close to Stansted’s flight path, we enjoyed watching the planes come in-it added a bit of entertainment! Would definitely recommend, we’ll be back for sure!

Overall, the sofa bed was comfy and we liked it, but the double bed was a bit too soft for our backs. Could use some side lamps too!

We had a fantastic weekend here, really ticked all the boxes for us. The place was lovely and cosy and our dogs couldn’t get enough of the garden. The underfloor heating was a big hit, especially with Luna, who was wagging her tail so much she strained it! Definitely planning to come back soon. Great spot for both humans and pups!

This place is just lovely! It’s tucked away enough to feel private but still near shops and cafes. The hot tub is fantastic and the underfloor heating keeps everything cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie are such friendly hosts. We’re already planning our next stay-can’t wait!

We’ve always loved Cayton Bay, even though we didn’t dine onsite this time because of the current situation. The site and staff are genuinely lovely and we’re already planning to return next year. Can’t recommend it enough, honestly!

We needed a peaceful getaway for walks and relaxation. The place was spot on - lovely accommodation, loads of nearby pubs and eateries and endless fields for off-road adventures. Our dog loved it, didn’t want to leave!

It was quite a relief to escape the lockdown for a few days and Cayton Bay turned out to be a lovely spot for a short break. We enjoyed it.

We just got back from a four-night stay at this cosy cottage and honestly, we loved it! The owners are super friendly but respectful of privacy, which was perfect. Our dog had a blast in the big fenced garden. The place had everything we needed, including a BBQ and a fantastic hot tub - totally relaxing. We’d definitely come back and already told our friends about it. Thanks for a great time!

We had a really lovely time staying here. Sharon and Robert are such welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home from the start. The place was spotless, comfy and felt very safe for our dog Archie, which was a big plus. The location is perfect, with plenty of walks and nearby villages like Thaxted that are worth exploring. Honestly, we left feeling totally recharged and relaxed. Would definitely come back!

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage! It’s surprisingly well equipped, so we didn’t need to pack much at all. The welcome pack was a real bonus, packed with useful info and local menus - genuinely thoughtful. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a day out. Sharon and RobeRead were quick to reply whenever we had questions, which was really helpful. Thanks for a great break - we’ll definitely be coming back!

Our dogs had an absolute blast, especially with the underfloor heating - they didn’t want to leave the garden! Luna wagged her tail so much she strained it, but the vet says it’s just from all the excitement. Definitely coming back!

The entertainment staff were awesome. They did the pirate pursuit despite the fact that it was only my three kids who were there. Big thanks to Matt and Mercedes for that. The activities staff were just as awesome. Particularly Tom and Neil. Tom for the sports and Neil for the high ropes and especially the Bear grylls survival academy which my son just loved every minute of. The Show bar at night was always very entertaining with Liam making every night funny without fail.
Trevor
Nice place to stay. Caravan was clean and spacious
Danielle
Lovely holiday park, we came here with our 7 children, aged 1,2,3,5,5 & 12 & 12 and there was something to keep all ages entertained.
The elder ones loved the high ropes and were in the show bar every night. The indoor pool is great for all ages, especially good that they have a very shallow part for small children like we have.
The only thing that would improve this holiday park would be an outside splash park!
Amanda
The holiday was lovely, staff are very friendly and helpful, great with kids. Only downside is prices of the extra activities are steep (apart from high ropes as that is well worth the money)
We never had a hoover in caravan so with 4 young kids it was a nightmare to tidy up after them, but we asked at reception and were given one so that was great. Also given a hairdryer on request as i had forgotten mine.
We will definetly be back ?

We had the most amazing time, the caravan was very clean. The night time entertainment staff are absolutely fabulous! My 5 year old loved the kids disco/games. Everything on site is good value for money. The food is the restaurant is lovely and very reasonable.
Emily
A great site with lots of facilities. Staff were very helpful. Our oven door had a problem and we called the out of hours number and it was fixed within 20mins! Highly recommended ?
