Apartment clean and comfortable some minor maintenance and decorating issues but nothing to spoil our holiday. Very good value for money. Lovely fluffy towels and clean bedding. Nice welcome pack....to include salt and pepper would be an idea.....but no complaints!!

We stayed in apartment 5 and it was very close to the beach, lovely plus s bit more maintenance and house keeping would go a long way. Generally it was good

not going again to the place

Excellent great for pets

Great with animals

It was all good no problems, thanks and recommended.

Really nice place being let down by the small things that really should have been picked before arrival of the guests. Hair all over the floor, radiator not working in the front room, WiFi slow, cupboard door damaged. The thing that really angered me was the cigarette ends that were left on the decking, my dog was with us on this break so myself and my partner had to go round cleaning up before we could officially start our break. The accommodation itself is lovely, with a nearby beach, you can hear the waves from the living area whilst having your morning brew. I believe that if the above issues were rectified then a lot of these 3 star reviews would turn into 5.

Old, rundown, tied, not overly clean, deadly steps, car park with more pot holes than I've ever see.A lovely location but let down but the shanty town looking site from the car park.

Lovely accommodation. Could hear the waves breaking. Bliss.Would be nice to have a sponge, small dish washing liquid and dishcloth supplied. There are no shops to these at short notice.The deck needed to be cleaned of old debris.

Our holiday at Sea Retreat was no more than okay. The location was great and the view of the beach was lovely to wake up to but those are the only things I would compliment about the resort. The place needed a lot of maintenance and TLC, there were marks all over the floor, cutlery wasn’t clean, funny smell from the day we arrived. Wasn’t made clear that you’d have to walk up a lot of stairs to get to the chalet, so after having a knee injury this wasn’t ideal at all. Along with this, the stairs were very very slippery from the rain and there were no lights to see where you were going when it got darker - this was a massive health and safety hazard. We were provided with one toilet roll to last four days, no kitchen roll, no washing up sponge or liquid, no tea towel. I would not be recommending and I would not stay again.

Poorly maintained drainage system,the water system made a dreadful noise when using taps and bath plug was broken

bed was broken but replaced straight away after complaint furniture tired could do with replacement

No restaurant as we were self catering Place was clean and tidy . Bed was comfortable . Saucepans and frying pan had seen better days

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 Read moreyou! Hide

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!! HighlRead morey recommend. Hide

Very kind and considerate owners. Couldnt be better. Enormously helpful and extremely pleasant.

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.

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.

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 restaurantRead mores. We liked The Star and The Maypole. The Swan and the Indian are not bad either. We thoroughly recommend this place. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Sharon and Robert were great hosts and made us feel very welcome.
