Perfect Luxury

This town is the birthplace of Dick Turpin. Appealing and delivering for family holidays, reunions, get-togethers, Toad Hall is a historic home ready and waiting to welcome you through its doors for a peaceful countryside retreat.

The property is luxurious with formal gardens and Tudor dining room, tennis court, and classic antique furniture. With its homely Tudor touches, the property is a true family home, replete with six bedrooms, a heated pool, tennis court, and inflatable hot tub. You will have every opportunity to relax and luxuriate in the wonderful surroundings.

Unwind in countryside bliss. Take drinks on the large terrace and admire the stunning Italianate gardens. Bask in the sunshine on the pool terrace. Get competitive over a game of pool in the pool house. But not before you enjoy a family dinner around the 16-seater dining table. Or for a more refined occasion, head to the formal dining room, fit for 10 guests.

Enjoy a meal using the Aga, having purchased fresh local produce from the market town of Saffron Walden where many fine independent stores stock delicious local produce. Eat, laugh and be merry, then sit back and watch a film on the huge Plasma TV in front of the roaring inglenook fireplace. Finish the day by retiring to a haven of exposed beams and plush beds.

Gardens and grounds

Toad Hall’s Crowning Glory is the outdoor pool that is heated to a toasty 28 degrees from May until September. Sunbathe on one of the many sun-loungers or oversized beanies and don’t forget to play a game of pool in the pool house.

Wander around the box hedging in the formal gardens whilst taking in the scent of the many glorious flowers in bloom.

If you prefer alfresco dining, there are three BBQ’s, two coal and one gas. Savour the delights of your outdoor feast with some fine wines and enjoy the sunset. Opt for a nightcap around the chiminea and if it’s chilly, indulge yourself in the sumptuous blankets to keep you extra warm.

Eat in the Tudor dining room, full of traditional charm, beneath the old beams. If the weather is on your side, head outside on the terrace beneath the canopy of stars. For a daytime adventure, get the children involved and pack a picnic to enjoy by the pond.

Enjoying Toad Hall too much to leave? Get deliveries from Waitrose, Sainsbury’s or Tesco, or if you don’t feel like cooking, there are fantastic catering companies in the area. So sit back, relax, and let them do the work for you.

What a fantastic House, 16 of us stayed here for a reunion. It was spotlessly clean, offered so much space, and was very well equipped for the number of people staying. We would love to go back again soon. - Eleanor
