    The Goat House was in a very private, peaceful location. It was comfortable, tastefully decorated and was larger than expected and had a private patio. Karen the host was welcoming as were Charlie and Chester, the goats.

    The property was homely and very inviting. The bed was super comfy, and all of the little extras - Netflix, tea, coffee, milk, toiletries, etc was a lovely touch! There were even dressing gowns for us to use! It's a 5 min walk to the local pub...

Ideal for short stays, holidays or business trips. Cock Clarks is a small village, with a Public House, set in the countryside a short distance from Maldon. The Self-Contained Apartment is open plan, with a double bed, large comfy leather sofa, washing machine, dishwasher, TV, dining table, and large wardrobe. Please Note: the kitchen area has a convection microwave oven but no traditional oven. Pets are allowed on request.
I run my own fashion recruitment business with my husband, and we love animals. We have pygmy goats and rescue rabbits. We are based on-site for any problems with your stay, but otherwise, your stay would be completely private, and we will leave you alone to enjoy your stay.
