Quirky Accommodation

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.

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!

From Family Trips to Team Building

Our secret escapes are perfect for any situation.

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.
