Crows Hall is an idyllic retreat in beautiful countryside just an hours drive from London, making it the perfect place for family and friends to gather together.
Located on a quiet rural lane within walking distance of Wakes Colne and Chappel in the Colne Valley villages, this beautiful cottage is as charming on the inside as its distinctive characterful exterior and enjoys an idyllic position with stunning views across open farmland.
Crows Hall is a Grade II Listed former farm workers’ cottage dating back to 1839, that has been lovingly restored throughout to offer guests boutique accommodation with a country style. The beautifully crafted modern interior blends seamlessly with the unique character that this enchanting cottage has to offer.
On the ground floor there is the well-equipped kitchen/dining room, a cosy sitting room and a snug. A narrow steep staircase leads up to two tastefully furnished bedrooms, both with their own en-suites.
Outside, the cottage garden has been landscaped to include a terraced area with hot tub, together with a lawn and planting, that ensures colour and interest throughout the year.
Guests are also welcome to fish in the two acre lake at the beautiful Wakes Hall Lodges site nearby.

What a wonderful place this is. Located in a beautiful, historic, semi-rural part of Essex just outside Colchester, quiet but just 20mins from the heart of city and with other small towns and villages nearby. The property has been very sensitively renovated, to create functional, comfortable holiday accommodation that retains its historical characteristics. Inside, there is more space that one might imagine with two receptions, a large, well-equipped kitchen and downstairs WC, plus two large bedrooms, both with large ensuite bath/shower rooms. The beds are really comfortable. All that was missing for us was a full-length mirror and hooks on the back of the doors (hoping the owner will add these!). We cook every day and found the kitchen had everything we needed (although no salt/pepper that we could find - please add this!). The oven and hob were clean and really easy to use. Outside, the space is extensive and private and the inclusion of a hot tub is very welcome (staff check it daily on weekdays but are friendly and unobtrusive). Ideal for relaxing and also as a base for exploring the local area. Just half an hour away from the lovely beach at Mersea Island. There are another five lodges on the site but they are some distance away from Crows Hall, although as guests of the estate we were free to roam the entire site, which includes a fishing lake, which we really appreciated. We have stayed in many self-catering places and this is one of the best.
