"There was only parking for one carThe secluded hot tub is just a 6 ft fence panel, there were no instructions about the hot tub and on the last evening it was cold , no idea why The lodge itself was just standard one you would buy, no full length mirrors , no lamps, we had to turn on cooker hood as main lights were so harsh2x2 seater sofas for 6 people?When we arrived we were asked for £500 security deposit, nothing was written anywhere about this so we had no knowledge It took 12 days to get back to bank account which is unacceptable and should have been written clearly on booking webpage (then we would have picked somewhere else, hate waiting to get money back ) Three ladies of a certain age just wanted a getaway with a little bit of luxury and thats not what we got"

"Our Medbourne Edge Retreat review: The lodge and surrounding area are beautiful, we had lovely weather also.The hot tub was an added bonus.The lodge was very clean and tiny.The also negative was the mattress could do with changing, not very comfy, we could have moved to the other room.And please get some decent sized mugs for a proper cuppa of tea, so tiny.But well worth a visit."

"The Rutland Lodge sleeps 6 adults but only enough room to park one car. Several things not up to scratch for a luxury lodge, WiFi in number 9 poor. Hot tub is at the side seemingly as an after thought."

"Highly recommend this location if you enjoy luxurious and peaceful accommodation with both Leicester & Mkt Harborough within easy reach. Rockingham Castle is also well worth a visit."

"We really enjoyed our time at Medbourne lodges. Our lodge was lovely and spacious with beautiful views across the countryside. Very peaceful site.We were met by Simon who showed us to our lodge and was very helpful during our stay.Would highly recommend and I'm sure we'll return."

"Lovely clean and modern lodge everything was excellent. The only thing I would like would be a set of steps to enable me to get in and out of the hot tub more easily"
Karen - Mar 2024
"The lodge is beautiful with lovely decor and everything we needed, the hot tub was gorgeous , only thing I could add would be maybe to have some fairy lights etc around the hot tub and as someone else has mentioned having a step up into the actual tub as it is a bit of a problem getting in and out and in the evening its pretty dark to see the ground ahead.. The other extra I think is a lamp in the main living area to cosy it up in the evening, but this is a personal preference and we just brought one through from the bedroom. Theres nothing else I can add as everything was just perfect for us ."

"Lovely weekend spent at Medbourne Edge. Spotlessly clean, spacious, well equipped, quiet scenic location, just what we wanted for some quality family time after several busy weeks.Simon the manager was really welcoming and friendly. Hot tub was great, could just do with an outside light for evening use at this time of year. We will return."

"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!!"

"Beautiful cottage with hot tub and log burner. lovely hosts, peaceful, perfect for our mini break. Hope to return for longer soon!"
Emma - Apr 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 - Apr 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. "
