Overview
Description
There’s nothing quite as relaxing as staying in a Woodland Lodge for a few days! Away from the hustle & bustle, you will have no choice but to relax & enjoy. An 8 minute walk will take you into the village of Toppesfield where we have a pub, shop, park & brewery.This idyllic location on the Essex/Suffolk Border has so much to offer and Toppesfield Hall is the perfect place from which to explore it!
Book a Woodland Lodge for the perfect retreat; nestled within a small expand of woodland trees and surrounded by open fields. And YES, they are Dog Friendly and have secure gardens, with fencing all the way round (approx. height 1.2m)!
The stunning lounge/kitchen/diner with large french doors, connects the inside with the outside garden and woodland area beyond. It really gives you the sense of being in the thick of nature and countryside, without sacrificing comfort or quality. When night-time falls, retreat into your bedroom and close your shutters for a tranquil nights sleep.
Perfect for up to 6 Guests:-
Bedroom 1:
1 King size Bed
Bedroom 2:
2 Single Beds
Bunk Bed for 2 further guests
Step out of your lodge onto the decked veranda, which leads to your own private Hot Tub, screened by cherry laurels hedging. The fencing is purposefully built at low level to ensure the views from the woodland area and countryside are uninterrupted.
The surrounding fields offer a host of walking routes if you are feeling active, and our village can be reached within 8 minutes. Here you will find a Park, a Dog Friendly Pub with Beer Garden and play area, Local Shop, Post Office and Toppesfield Brewery too!
Alternatively, just relax, light the fire pit and put your feet up; soak in the massaging hot tub and just watch the world go by. Or, if you are feeling a little more active, you can enjoy a game of Tennis (located within the woodland area too) or hire bikes to venture further afield.
There is dedicated parking available just a short walk from the Lodges (within 150 yards). There is a working farm in the next courtyard along from the main Hall.
There are 4 Woodland Lodges positioned around the woodland area, perfectly placed to explore Suffolk/Essex. They have been designed & built to a very high standard and have everything you need for a great holiday. Strategically positioned to allow the outside in, for the ultimate holiday! Our lodges are suitable for individual families or can even provide the perfect solution to holidaying with your friends or extended family.

Leave ReviewNeed to revisit for sure!
By Kash on 28-Sep-2025Stayed in the chestnut lodge which was very cosy and clean. The surrounding area is gorgeous and just generally very pleasant to be around. The hot tub is clean and the temperature is perfect! We made a fire most nights which was also cosy and just was really nice. Nearby tennis court and games room can provide hours of entertainment. Need to re-visit for sure!
A nice walk to the local pub!
By Harrison on 29-Sep-2025Nice place with lovely jacuzzi, the surroundings are very peaceful and a nice walk to the local pub. We don’t have kids but there’s loads to do for families.
Absolutely love it!
By Keely on 19-Oct-2025We’ve stayed here a few times with the dogs, and absolutely love it! Relaxing, perfect walks for dogs, the lodges are well equipped!! Hot tub is my favourite bit, always well looked after & clean! Local fish and chip shop is good and a Chinese we ordered from called Blossom, they deliver & it was absolutely amazing! We will absolutely be back for another trip soon!

The facilities were great!
By Jenny on 31-Oct-2025We had a fabulous holiday, the place was beautiful and communication before and during was brilliant. The facilities were great, we all loved playing tennis and the kids loved having basketball available too. The games room was brilliant too. Lovely short walk across the field to The Green Man and we also enjoyed meals at the nearby White Hart. Loved exploring the local area, all in all a brilliant holiday!
