About this property
Woodland lodge with hot tub, sauna access & enclosed garden — ideal for couples
Escape to your own dog-friendly woodland lodge with private hot tub at Toppesfield Hall. Silver Birch Lodge is being thoughtfully revamped as a couples-only countryside escape (dog-friendly), designed for slow, romantic stays together. Now exclusively for two adults, the lodge blends calm open-plan living with standout outdoor features — including a sheltered hot tub and outdoor cinema area with day bed, perfect for cosy film nights whatever the weather.
Silver Birch Lodge combines cosy indoor living, an large enclosed garden, sauna access and woodland surroundings. Inside, the space is warm and open, made for unhurried time together — whether cooking, relaxing, or simply enjoying the slower rhythm of the countryside. Set within a quieter corner of the woodland and surrounded by open fields, this lodge offers a calm and comfortable setting to slow down — whether that’s mornings in the hot tub, gentle walks from your door or simply enjoying time together without a set plan. The enclosed garden provides a safe, easy space for dogs.
Guests can make the most of everything on site, including the woodland sauna experience with cold drench shower and relaxation deck (available to book), along with a tennis court, games room, bike hire and open countryside walks.
Inside, the lodge is designed to feel bright and connected to its surroundings. Large sliding doors open onto your private veranda, creating a natural flow between indoors and out.
The village of Toppesfield is just an easy 8-minute walk away, with a dog-friendly pub, village shop, post office and park.
Located on the Essex/Suffolk border, Toppesfield Hall is perfectly placed for exploring nearby villages and countryside — though many guests choose to stay onsite and enjoy the surroundings.
