Slow Down and Enjoy Essex

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.

Lakeside Hobbit House beside its private forest

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.
