Brook Lodge (Essex)

Dogs: 2

Sleeps: 2

This delightful lodge on Wakes Hall Farm is a haven of peace in 500 acres of private land. Featuring an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting area, a verandah and a hot tub. The historic town of Colchester is 40 minutes away. Brook Lodge is one of five detached luxury lodges which are located in idyllic countryside on the Wakes Hall Estate in the breath-taking Colne Valley on the Essex/Suffolk border. Each lodge boasts a verandah and the ultimate indulgence – a soothing hot tub, surrounded by 500 acres of land and walks to the village of Wakes Colne.
Wakes Hall Lodges offer the ultimate place to escape the city or your hectic lives. Nature lovers will have a wonderful time taking in the stunning flora and fauna of the delightful countryside. As well as a fishing lake stocked with Carp and Roach, there are an endless number of woodland walks to explore, including the neighbouring willow woodland where the trees are farmed to make cricket bats. Visitors often enjoy a short amble to the local village where there is a shop and post office and a picturesque pub beside the River Colne that serves locally brewed beer. Local beauty salons provide a full range of services for visitors to the lodges.
Also available to book through Rural Retreats are Campion Lodge (sleeping two guests); Endymion Lodge (sleeping four guests); Ramson Lodge (sleeping two guests); and Woodbell Lodge (sleeping four guests).
From Spring 2022, guests staying at the lodges will have use of some newly created tennis courts, approximately one mile away. This holiday at a glance
