Bring the whole family together for a stay in this magnificent manor house with a heated swimming pool, hot tub, tennis courts and so much more. All 22 guests who stay here will leave feeling rested and recharged, filling every day with relaxation both indoors and out, exceptional company and unrivalled comfort. The luxurious accommodation is situated just outside of Saffron Walden, an Essex town that’s well-connected to so many attractions in both Cambridge and Suffolk. A destination for day trips, the heritage city of Cambridge is just 15 miles away and is well worth the short drive for an afternoon or evening out.

Maintained with its traditional style yet modernised to happily accommodate 21st-century travellers, this 17th-century estate is one you won’t be quick to forget. Separate lounges, a games room and a dining room sit amongst functional features including a kitchen, utility kitchen and downstairs WC on the ground floor, alongside the first of nine bedrooms. Each bedroom is presented with attractive decor and a unique style, a joy to wake up to each morning. For multigenerational stays, there’s also a snug upstairs with a sofa and PlayStation for kids to escape to. Let the whole family come together as you make the most of the sprawling gardens and grounds, setting up camp in the heated pool house for fabulous summer days outdoors.

With appealing architecture, independent boutiques and a regular market, Saffron Walden really is a splendid town. It’s home to Saffron Hall (0.5 miles) with regular concerts and performances, and Audley End House and Gardens (300 metres) - a beautiful English Heritage site. Crossing over into Suffolk, visit the local town of Haverhill (12 miles) and plot a route from the centre of town, soaking up the verdant scenery and ancient woodlands of the surrounding countryside.
