Choose Your Accommodation
We have two options to choose from when you are looking for a secret escape, whether for a night, a weekend or longer. Choose whichever option takes your fancy.
Water Lily Lodge
Nothing beats staying in an epic log cabin for the ideal quirky getaway. Travel down a country track to the end of a hidden lake deep in the Colne Valley, and surround yourself with stunning views, picturesque woodland and complete peace.
Water Lily Lodge is located right in the heart of the Essex countryside, but you won’t be far from Colchester if you fancy a trip to town to explore its attractions. There’s even a pub only a couple of miles away. Enjoy complete comfort in our cosy, picturesque log cabin – and bring your dog along too!
Kingfishers Nest
As with Water Lily Lodge, you can’t beat this incredible, newly built quirky cabin, offering the perfect stay for a couples retreat. Kingfishers Nest is also accessed by a country track, also tucked away next to a hidden lake deep in the Colne Valley.
Kingfishers Nest is a hidden gem in the Essex countryside, despite being a quick drive from Colchester, you will arrive feeling as though you are miles from the land of the living.
Luxury Camping
Camping has never been more glamorous, and our specially built glamping site is the perfect place to escape from it all and enjoy the glamping experience without sacrificing your comfort. Hidden away in the heart of the countryside on beautiful Tey Brook Farm, our cosy hideaway provides the best quirky accommodation far away from anything.
This is camping, but not as you know it – it’s glamping!. Enjoy a full on-site kitchen, hot showers, flushing toilets, marquee and an undercover area in case it rains. All cooking equipment is provided, just bring along food and drink.
From Family Trips to Team Building
Our secret escapes are perfect for any situation. Perhaps you want a romantic weekend far away from anything, or maybe you’re looking for a family break where there is fun for all in a unique setting. We have two of the best log cabins Essex has to offer, hidden treasures that will help you relax and unwind in a picturesque setting.
We also host team-building events for companies looking for quirky accommodation so you can get the whole team out into the countryside and strengthen bonds in a way that only a natural setting can provide.
Whatever type of trip you have in mind, we would love to help you escape!
