2 Bedroom Cabin in Toppesfield, Halstead
Welcome to Chestnut Lodge at Toppesfield Hall — a wonderful, woodland retreat designed for slowing the pace and enjoying time together in the countryside.
Set within a private area of woodland and surrounded by open fields, your stay begins the moment you arrive. Step onto your veranda, sink into your private hot tub, light the fire pit, or wander through the trees to enjoy everything available on site.
Life at Toppesfield Hall is about more than just your lodge. Guests can enjoy a woodland sauna experience with cold drench shower and relaxation deck (available to book), a tennis and games court, indoor games room, bike hire, and relaxation treatments — all set within open countryside with walks directly from your door.
Dogs are warmly welcomed, and each lodge has a fully enclosed garden (approx. 1.2m fencing), so everyone can relax safely.
Chestnut Lodge is thoughtfully positioned within a small expanse of woodland, designed to bring the outside in while maintaining comfort and privacy. Large French doors open onto your private garden, creating a calm, easy indoor-outdoor flow throughout your stay.
Whether you’re gathering as a family, staying with friends, or escaping for a few slower days, this is a place where mornings begin quietly, afternoons stretch out in the fresh air, and evenings are best spent around the fire pit or in the hot tub under open skies.
Although wonderfully tucked away, the village of Toppesfield is just an 8-minute walk away, offering a dog-friendly pub, village shop, post office and park.
