Self Catering in Essex - Colchester

Woodbell Lodge is one of five lodges peacefully situated in 500 acres of private land at Wakes Hall Farm, which recently awarded a five star AA award. Located on the Essex/Suffolk border, the historic town of Colchester is 40 minutes away.

Woodbell 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 relax and unwind from your hectic life.

It is a haven for nature lovers, you will have a wonderful time taking in the stunning flora and fauna of the delightful countryside. There is a fishing lake stocked with Carp and Roach. Endless woodland walks to explore, including the neighbouring willow woodland where the trees are farmed to make cricket bats.

The local village is a short stroll away 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, and for those looking for an extra special treat, we can arrange for a fully trained chef to serve up a delectable feast from the comfort of your lodge.
