Myself, my husband and two children moved to Toppesfield Hall in March 2021 to start our new business venture- City to Country Retreat. We have sympathetically renovated the cottage next to the main hall for our Guests to stay and enjoy both the rural aspects, local village and surrounding areas. Since then we have built 4 bespoke lodges for guests to choose from and added a Games Room too!

There’s nothing quite as relaxing as staying in a Woodland Lodge for a few days! Away from the hustle & bustle, you will have no choice but to relax & enjoy. This idyllic location on the Essex/Suffolk Border has so much to offer and Toppesfield Hall is the perfect place from which to explore it! Book a Woodland Lodge for the perfect retreat; nestled within a small expand of woodland trees and surrounded by open fields.

As you get closer to the Essex/Suffolk Border, you will be sure to notice a greener outlook. Driving through Toppesfield Village you will see our dog friendly pub with its spacious outdoor garden for children to play and dogs to roam. You will also pass St Margaret’s Church, our community shop and post office. This village is full of natural beauty and much character too. There is a park for the children and the village green provides a safe haven for family picnics and games. Toppesfield Village can be accessed via a short 8 min stroll across the grassed footpath from Toppesfield Hall or from the main country road.
