Set in a lovely secluded position, at the end of a single track lane. Based on a small working farm, The Hayloft is directly opposite a field where our horses seasonally graze. Peace and quiet (apart from the odd animal noise!). We keep horses, chickens and geese along with our pet dogs and cats. The Hayloft is an open plan space downstairs with fully equipped kitchen, dining space and living room. There is a downstairs toilet with walk in shower. Upstairs consists of two bedrooms - the master with king size bed and large built in wardrobes. The second is a twin room with two single beds. There is a bathroom upstairs with toilet and freestanding bath. We have facilities for children including a cot, baby gates, toilet seat & step. If you require use of the cot please let us know in advance as it will need to be made up, and which room you would like it to be in. We do not provide sheets for the cot so please bring these with you. Near to a lovely quiet village, with a beautiful pub a 10 minute walk away. Nearby village of Castle Hedingham with two pubs, convenient village shop, amazing castle, etc. Not far from local wedding venues including Hedingham Castle and The White Hart. We are in a very quiet and secluded spot with no passing traffic. The wildlife is superb with many hare, deer, birds of prey (we have Ravens here too!), unusual birds, etc. If it’s walking you enjoy we are located directly on various footpaths, and you will be able to ramble for miles without touching a road if you so desire. If you have any other questions or requests please do pop us a message! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Cottage, Multiple Beds | Spa](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88460000/88457200/88457169/a9fbfd09.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Toppesfield Hall Luxury Cottage With Hot Tub Halstead - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Microwave - Kitchen [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-16&endDate=2026-04-17&selected=88457169&PinnedHotelID=88457169&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Balcony](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87570000/87567300/87567281/ee0d1881.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Brake Wagon at High Barn Heritage Halstead - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-16&endDate=2026-04-17&selected=87567281&PinnedHotelID=87567281&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103740000/103733100/103733064/de094212.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cabin on 5 Acres with Stables, Firepit & Cinema Sible Hedingham - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-16&endDate=2026-04-17&selected=103733064&PinnedHotelID=103733064&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage | Living room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68430000/68420600/68420525/b6262835.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Carriage at High Barn Heritage Halstead - Kitchen - Washing machine - Parking included - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-16&endDate=2026-04-17&selected=68420525&PinnedHotelID=68420525&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, Internet, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/26000000/25140000/25140000/25139921/41a0ffeb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### This delightful lodge on Wakes Hall Farm is a haven of peace in 500 acres of private land.
