The Lodge, Felsted, Great Dunmow, Essex

The Lodge is a quality cottage situated on a working farm in the Essex countryside, perfect for couples looking for a short break or holiday.

Originally part of a Victorian cattle yard, The Lodge has been meticulously converted to a high standard. It features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, tiled floors, and oak internal doors. The decor and furnishings are in soft, subtle colours, creating a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.

Located in peaceful North West Essex, The Lodge is set on a family-run arable farm in the village of Felsted. The cottage is secluded and tranquil, positioned down a private drive at Bannister Green, a mile and a half from the centre of Felsted. The village offers several public houses, shops, and restaurants, providing convenient amenities close by. The Lodge is also well-placed for access to Stansted Airport, Cambridge, Duxford, Saffron Walden, London, and the coasts of Essex and Suffolk, either by car or train from Chelmsford or Braintree.

The Lodge is a self-contained, one-bedroom cottage with a large open-plan lounge and dining room, complete with a log-burning stove. The fully fitted kitchen has all the necessary appliances, and the bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower. The spacious bedroom features a king-sized double bed, with the option of adding a cot or extra single bed upon request. Outside, guests will find ample parking, a garden, and a courtyard.

All prices are inclusive of VAT, linen, towels, heating (including firewood), and wireless broadband, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

North Essex is an ideal area for cycling, walking, bird watching, and exploring picturesque villages such as Thaxted, Finchingfield, Great Bardfield, and Dedham in Constable country. Nearby National Trust properties include Hatfield Forest, Paycocke's House, Wimpole Hall, and Anglesey Abbey, offering plenty of opportunities for cultural and historical exploration.

In addition to these attractions, visitors can explore Audley End House and Gardens in Saffron Walden and the RHS Gardens at Hyde Hall. The Flitch Way, a country park running through 15 miles of countryside along the former Bishops Stortford to Braintree railway, passes through the farm, making it ideal for walking and cycling. Secure bicycle storage is available for guests who wish to bring their bikes.
