"The bathroom was disgraceful, hole in the flooring, painting peeling from pipework, mould and generally unclean"

"Wow where do I start!!Bungalow looked amazing in pictures..which made me book initially.That was the only thing going for itrecently refurbished..but very basic.The surrounding area was disgusting..full of owners who knew each other.One family of 7 kids who kept running up & down our path right outside the door everyday allday.Opening the back gate when we was in the hot tub!!Looking in when the front door was open.Bags of dog poo littered around the property & broken guttering.Banger racing cars parked all over the car park.The non existent customer service..a very unhelpful lady in a make shift reception..no welcome pack nothing.Just a key code to unlock the bungalow.I would never go back it was shocking.The park compared to others was so run down & dated.Please beware before you book!!"

"Perfect Location/ Awful accommodation."

"Bungalow needs updating especially shower"

"Yet again another fantastic holiday at Ingoldales. Received clear check in instructions, and a phone call on the evening to make sure we had settled in OK and where to go if we needed help/extra towels etc. Site itself was very quiet. Caravan was extremely clean. Love the gate on the verandah for the kids. Less than a 2 minute walk from fantasy island and the beach. Will 100% come again!"

"not good good kids kept coming in from one of the chalets"

"Lovely location set away from main park and secluded by a hedge.Ideal for my family of 4 who like to have some peace and quite after along day out enjoying the sights and sounds of Skegness. The caravan was clean and roomy with the addition of good cooking facilities and two bathrooms.I felt it was slightly overpriced for what you could normally rent a caravan for but for me it was worth it due to the privacy.Would recommend a stay here if you don't mind paying a bit extra."

"We arrived after reception had closed. My phone battery was flat so could not read the txt with instructions. My husband phoned number on booking Form and lady who answered was VERY helpful in helping us find our holiday home. Unfortunately it took a while and a lot of running around for my husband who is 75. We found it eventually behind a house which in our opinion was a stupid place to put it. We couldnt park anywhere near the home so my husband had to trudge back and forward carrying all our belongings . I am 78 and disabled and in a wheelchair so I was no help and we had this nightmare walk through the garden and gravel drive every time we went out. Have you ever tried pushing a wheelchair over gravel? A small convenience store selling morning papers, milk etc incorporated in the reception office would have been very handy as we were miles from anywhere"

"It's spacious, the beds were made up and comfy. The house was easy to find. Clean and tidy"

"the bathroom need work on it the floor in the bathroom need repalce and the paint work need doing"

"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!"

"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!"

"Lovely cottage. Great location for us. Away from the hustle and bustle. Great hot tub . Lovely helpful non intrusive owners. They have it just right!"

"Absolutely loved how well maintained and equipped this cottage is. Plenty of dog walks right on the doorstep. Very friendly host, they were so efficient and communication was excellent. 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"

"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."

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "

"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! "

"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 "

"Lovely accommodation, very peaceful and relaxing and great for dogs as the garden is fully inclosed"

"Had such a lovely, relaxing break. Cottage was immaculate, equipped with everything you need and some lovely added extras too. Couldnt recommended more"

"Had a lovely weekend away staying here. Would love to come back later on in the year."

"Lovely friendly owners. Couldnt do enough when the power went down due to the storm. Very well equipped and clean. Very warm cottage. Our dog enjoyed the enclosed outside space and us the hot tub!"
