"We had 10 family members on a weekend break. The setting and lodge were great and I would definitely book again. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, the lodge had everything we needed and was furnished to a good standard. "

"A lovely holiday village, everything you need yet felt like you were in the middle of no where. The lodges were immaculate and well stocked, we cant wait to return"
Emma - Jan 1970
"Beautiful, clean lodge in a mature forest. Great location and wonderful that you can bring your dog too! Hot tub is checked every day and theres so much to do around the area"
Annemarie - Jan 1970
"Beautiful lodge. Very clean, good ameneties/utensils."
Charlotte - Jan 1970
"Our only issue is that the sofas in the lodge are very low and seat depth is too deep for the average person. But all the furniture is good quality and the beds were very comfortable. Hot tub was amazing."
Sandra - Jan 1970
"Brilliant & cosy cottage far enough out the way to be secluded but close enough to local amenities. Amazing hotub & bathroom with underfloor heating throughout tops it off. The owners, Rob & Sharon are wonderful! (And of course Bonnie) Will definitely be coming back again for longer ASAP!!"
Christopher - Feb 2025

"Really well equipped house, lovely and warm too which was so nice on a rainy December day! Bath was just lovely and a nice big shower! The property is under a flight path - this did not disturb us at all! Dont be put off! A great location for dogs who hate fireworks as it's in the middle of nowhere. Really beautiful, well converted property. Thank you! "

"It was everything we wanted for our weekend away and we loved staying here. We'll definitely be back! Our pups absolutely loved the underfloor heating and had so much fun in the garden. In fact Luna came home with a strained tail and according to the vet it was because she was wagging it so much over the weekend!! Very happy pups and hoomans!"

We enjoyed meeting the animals on the farm and the very curious pig penelope. Perfect escape for us and the doggos. Will definitely be back, brilliant value!! Highly recommend. "

"Beautiful property, spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable, had a fabulous break, hot tub amazing x"
Libby - Feb 2025
"Very kind and considerate owners. Couldnt be better. Enormously helpful and extremely pleasant. Charming half-timbered cottage with a great strong shower, cosy kitchen & living room combination and very comfortable bed. Fantastic parking directly next to the rented cottage. Well heated and very charming, and spotlessly clean. Great walks across the fields to the local village of Thaxted and of course within easy travelling distance of the village, replete with half-timbered houses and windmill. "

"We had a wonderful time in Goddard Mead. The cottage was very complete and there were walks on the doorstep. The welcome and stay was very warm. The owners are lovely people."
Annemieke - Feb 2025
"The owners Rob & Sharon, have gone to a great deal of work to sympathetically convert this historic building & we couldn't have had a warmer greeting from them both & of course Bonnie. Goddard's Mead has everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The location is in a great area of Essex and would recommend taking the time to wander around Thaxted and other villages/towns nearby to discover it's fascinating history & buildings. "
Carol - Feb 2025
"Such a lovely place to stay in a really beautiful, private location. The owners were really friendly and helpful, nearby if needed but without breaking that sense of privacy. The hot tub was perfect after a day of cycling! One thing to be aware of, the cottage is right under Stansted's flight path, and so there's a lot of aircraft noise. It only took us a couple of hours to get used to it and it didn't spoil our holiday at all, but something to be aware of if you're sensitive to noise. "
Inderjit - Feb 2025
"The lovely cottage is situated on a working farm, but is very private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are delightful. The cottage is very spacious with good equipment in the kitchen and the bathroom. The bed is really comfortable. The garden is secluded; dog proof and with good furniture. There are numerous walks around. Thaxted has good restaurants. We liked The Star and The Maypole. The Swan and the Indian are not bad either. We thoroughly recommend this place. "
Richard - Feb 2025
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Sharon and Robert were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation had everything we needed and was clean, comfortable and secure for our dog Archie. The location was ideal too with plenty of walks to find and Thaxted and surrounding villages are lovely places to visit. We felt our batteries had certainly been recharged during our week and we enjoyed our relaxing break! "
Denise - Feb 2025
"Stayed here for a week from 15 to 22 July with our 2 mini daschund girls who thoroughly enjoyed there stay making new friends in the village of thaxted. The cottage is lovely especially the hot tub a bonus as it was the hottest days of the year so the water was coolled so it was more refreshing the hosts were very welcoming was nice to see there horses being taken to the fields each day you are on the flight path near stansted but I enjoyed watching the planes come in would definitely recommend "

"Me and my boyfriend absolutley loved the stay here! It was our first holiday together. We were in cabin 38, it was set in the perfect location (the decking with hot tub was backed onto the trees so you had lots of privacy - other cabin deckings are not so private) The walks into the forest were lovely too, we got lucky with the weather :) Make sure to pack walking shoes! I would 100% stay here again. The staff are lovely too. My only snipe is that i wished the bar was opened later as it shuts at 8pm haha."
Kimberley - Mar 2022
"Delamere Lodges fantastic, lodges are gorgeous, well distanced from each other, site was very clean. All staff we encountered were polite, friendly and happy. Shop is quite expensive, didn’t try the takeaway service but the cafe was really nice and served lovely food. Like the fact that Delamere Lodges is a dog friendly location."
