About this cottage rental
Escape to your own dog-friendly countryside cottage with private hot tub at Toppesfield Hall — a peaceful retreat on the Essex/Suffolk border, around an hour from London. Perfect for families, friends and relaxed countryside getaways, Toppesfield Hall Cottage combines spacious indoor-outdoor living with an undercover hot tub, fire pit evenings, enclosed garden and access to the woodland sauna, games room and open countryside walks right from your door.
Open the bi-fold doors and step straight into your private outdoor entertainment space, complete with undercover hot tub, fire pit and enclosed garden — ideal for relaxed evenings outdoors whatever the weather. Dogs are warmly welcomed too, with secure fencing helping everyone switch off more easily.
Inside, the cottage is designed for easy self-catering stays, with a well-equipped kitchen including a fridge/freezer, oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and everything needed for cooking at home, along with a separate utility cupboard with washer/dryer.
The light and airy living spaces are ideal for spending time together, whether that’s cosy evenings in, family meals around the table or slower mornings with coffee while looking out across the countryside. Guests can also enjoy a Smart TV, Bose speaker system and WiFi throughout.
Life at Toppesfield Hall is about more than just your accommodation. Guests can enjoy the woodland sauna experience with cold drench shower and relaxation deck (available to book), along with a tennis & games court, indoor games room, bike hire and countryside walks directly from the grounds.
Whether you spend your days exploring nearby villages or simply staying close to the hot tub and fire pit, the cottage is designed for easy, relaxed time together.
The village of Toppesfield is just an easy 8-minute walk away, with a dog-friendly pub, village shop, post office, park and beautiful countryside walks to explore.
Located on the Essex/Suffolk border, Toppesfield Hall is perfectly placed for exploring nearby countryside villages, market towns and days out — though many guests choose to stay onsite and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
