Just outside London, Stapleford Tawney offers a gentler rhythm. At Lakeside Hobbit House, the day begins beside the water and ends beneath the trees, with space to settle into the quiet.

Arrive somewhere a little different
The handcrafted Hobbit House sits beside a tranquil lake and private forest, built for an escape that feels far from the everyday. Leave the timetable behind and let the setting do the work: fresh air, open views and the gentle feeling of being away.
Let the day unfold slowly
Breakfast, lunch and dinner come with lakeside views. Inside, bespoke dining, a plush sofa and a deep bath make it easy to spend an entire day close to home. When the afternoon cools, follow the private forest trail or gather around the firepit for the evening.


Make room for a little wonder
For romantic getaways, celebrations and a little more wonder than usual, Lakeside Hobbit House is a stay made for noticing the details. Watch the light change across the lake, take an unhurried walk and return to a warm, considered space.
