A fantastic holiday park, loads for the kids to do even if it rains. We will be back next year.

The caravan we stayed in needed a bit of TLC - the table top was peeling back off the table. There were a few holes in the walls where the door had obviously been pushed back too far and the handle had gone through the wall. But it was comfortable, big enough for us. The only issue was ants coming in but that was rectified by the staff once we let them know.

We had a lovely stay! The house was super well equipped and kept us warm during that cold rainy December day. The bath was just perfect and the shower was nice and spacious. Being on a flight path didn’t bother us at all-that’s not a big deal. Perfect spot for dogs that dislike fireworks, since it’s quite remote. Really pretty and well-renovated place. Thanks a lot!

We stayed at a lovely cottage run by truly welcoming hosts. They were so helpful and friendly, making us feel right at home. The place itself is adorable, with charming half-timbered decor and a nice, powerful shower. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made it perfect for relaxing. Parking right outside was a real bonus and the location is ideal for peaceful walks in the fields or exploring Thaxted’s historic streets. Would definitely return!

Really enjoyed our stay here! The cottage is cosy and well-kept and the location is just perfect-peaceful but still close enough to explore easily. The owners are super friendly without being too hands-on, which we appreciated. The hot tub was a great bonus after a day out. Honestly, they’ve got it just right! Would definitely recommend for a relaxing break.

We stayed at Goddard's Mead recently and were really impressed. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, which was lovely. The building itself is beautifully restored, blending history with comfort perfectly. The location in Essex is perfect for exploring Thaxted and nearby villages-so many charming spots to wander around and soak up the history. Definitely recommend this place for a relaxing getaway!

We loved this cosy little cottage! It’s just the right distance from everything - private but still handy for shops and pubs. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating made it super comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie were lovely hosts. Can’t wait to return!

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy cottage! Honestly, we didn’t need to bring a thing because everything was already there - it’s so well equipped. The welcome pack was a nice touch, packed with useful info and menus, which made settling in easy. The enclosed garden was perfect for the dogs and they loved exploring it. The hot tub was the cherry on top - truly relaxing. Sharon and Rob were great hosts, quick to reply if we had questions. Thanks for a wonderful break, we’d definitely come back!

Stayed for a weekend with my girls. Accommodation was clean through out, beds comfy, but could of done with a thinner quilt. Location perfect for beaches and Corfe. Will certainly be back
Shannon
We had a lovely time! The only reason it’s a 9 not a 10 is because you’re limited to time in the pool. We had planned for a pool day as if abroad and we got an hour. Otherwise the facilities and park were lovely.
Stephen
Great site plenty to do in and around the area. Lovely Lodge and a well kept clean site. ?
Peter
Had a great time at Sandford Holiday Park. We were there during the heat wave, so the outdoor pool was much needed and used! It is a lovely site, situated amongst trees and pines. Nice walks up through the woods and back even on the hottest days. The nearest beach was about a 10 minute drive away at Hamworthy, but it is worth it when you get there. A very quiet stretch of beach with just a few paddle-boarders in the water. Actually went for a swim in the sea (first time in about 30 years!). We had a really lovely holiday and I would give the site 10 out of 10.

The Staff made this holiday for us they were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much for them they went up and beyond to help.Even to the staff on the ticket shop who was so nice to the children when they cashed the weeks tickets and asked them what colours they wanted.Every night the security staff would ask if we were o.k and chatted as we went into the show bar.When the children did activities they were encouraged which brought out the best in them.So can I thank all the staff at Sandford for a very happy and relaxing holiday.We certainly will come back.
