Dog-Friendly Woodland Hideaway: A Quirky, Romantic Escape with Hot Tub | Cabine dans Halstead

There’s nothing quite as relaxing as escaping to a cosy Woodland Lodge with your own private Hot Tub for a few days! Away from the hustle & bustle, you’ll feel instantly tucked away, with no choice but to unwind and enjoy.
Sycamore Lodge is a little different. Its unique triangle shape offers a quirky twist on a classic woodland retreat – perfect for couples looking for a romantic break with something a bit special.
Tucked within a small expanse of woodland and surrounded by open fields, Sycamore Lodge is the perfect base to explore the beautiful Essex/Suffolk borders. And yes – it is Dog Friendly, with a fully enclosed garden (approx. 1.2m fencing), so your four-legged friend can enjoy the break too (1 small dog only).
Step inside and you’ll find a cleverly designed open-plan living space with a cosy, loft-style double bed, accessed by a ladder, adding a sense of adventure to your stay. Beneath is a comfortable sofa which easily converts into another double bed, making it ideal for couples bringing young children.
There’s a compact but well-equipped kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, oven, and hob – everything you need for relaxed, simple meals. The private bathroom is just next door on the decked veranda, complete with a modern shower, sink, and toilet – adding to the quirky, outdoor-living feel of this woodland hideaway. The kitchen sink is also located outside on the decking, with fresh running water and somewhere to wash up.
