Silver Birch Lodge at Toppesfield Hall

About this property

Escape to the country and enjoy a truly idyllic stay in this serene wooden lodge. Set within 6 acres of private grounds on the Essex/Suffolk border, this dog-friendly property welcomes couples and small families who love to be immersed in nature. Wrapped in a private, enclosed garden with an outdoor hot tub, a BBQ, a fire pit and lounge chairs for soaking up the sun, it has all the ingredients for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay.

Located a short walk from the parking area (150 metres), this lodge has been lovingly designed with everything you need for a luxurious woodland adventure. The interior is light and bright, with an open-plan, studio-style layout and plenty of cosy touches. A streamlined kitchenette and fold-out dining table sit next to double patio doors, which open to invite indoor-outdoor living. There’s a comfortable sofa, which can fold out to accommodate an extra two guests if required, while the sleeping area consists of a double bed and a set of bunk beds for two, which can be separated by a privacy curtain. A sleek shower room completes the interior, but the garden doubles your living space. Dine alfresco on the picnic table, sink into the hot tub with a glass of wine to watch the stars, and toast marshmallows over the fire pit.

The grounds include a paddock for exercising your pups, a superb games room with a variety of games and activities,  a woodland area and a shared tennis court. Stroll to the village of Toppesfield (0.5 miles) where you’ll find a village shop, a pub, a park and a brewery. Toppesfield and Tuffon Hall Vineyards (within 4 miles) offer an insight into Suffolk wines, while history lovers will be drawn to Hedingham Castle (4 miles) and the Norman castle in Colchester (23.5 miles).
