Some places simply make you exhale. Wiggles Cottage is one of them.

Tucked away on a working farm in the quiet Essex hamlet of Wimbish, this beautifully restored barn conversion is the kind of retreat that reminds you what slowing down actually feels like. Rolling farmland stretches out in every direction, the nights are properly dark, and the only soundtrack is birdsong. Just minutes from the medieval market town of Saffron Walden - and less than half an hour from Cambridge - you’re blissfully removed from the world without being cut off from it.

Step inside and the barn announces itself immediately. Soaring vaulted ceilings flood the open-plan living space with light and air, while the warm palette of carefully chosen materials - quality fittings, rich textures, considered design - strikes that rare balance between rustic soul and contemporary comfort.

Sink into the deep sofa, light the wood burner, and let the evening take its time. The flat-screen TV is there if you want it, but you may find you don’t.

The kitchen has been fitted for those who take cooking seriously - induction hob, oven, Quooker tap, and a proper coffee machine, all set against elegant countertops with plenty of room to move. Prepare a long, leisurely dinner and bring it to the dining table as the fire crackles beside you.

The bedroom is unhurried and deeply comfortable. A king-size bed dressed in hotel-quality linens sits at its centre, soft lighting wraps the room in warmth, and robes and slippers are waiting for you. The en-suite bathroom offers a full bath with shower over - everything you need, nothing superfluous.

The Garden is where the magic happens. Throw open the bi-fold doors and step into one of the most memorable outdoor spaces in the region.

At the heart of the private garden, beneath a timber pagoda and open to the stars, sits a hand-beaten copper tub - filled, hot, and yours. There is genuinely nothing quite like lowering yourself into warm water as the farmland air settles around you and the sky darkens above. It is not a feature. It is an experience.

When you’re ready, wrap yourself in your robe and pull a chair up to the fire pit. Watch the flames. Refill your glass. There is nowhere else you need to be.

The garden itself is beautifully kept - manicured lawn, well-tended beds, and the kind of green quiet that city life rarely offers.

Wimbish sits at the edge of some of Essex’s most unspoilt countryside, with footpaths and quiet lanes ideal for morning walks or afternoon cycles. Saffron Walden - with its timber-framed streets, independent cafés, weekly market, and the remarkable Bridge End Gardens - is only minutes away. Cambridge is a leisurely 25-minute drive; spend a morning in the museums and a lazy afternoon punting on the Cam.

A Note on Larger Groups: Wiggles Cottage can be booked alongside Piglet Cottage (ref. UK47693) to welcome up to four guests in total - ideal for two couples seeking a shared escape with their own private space.

Whether it’s a romantic anniversary, a long-overdue reset, or simply a weekend spent doing exactly as you please - Wiggles Cottage delivers it with quiet confidence.

    We had a wonderful 3-night break at this lovely rural getaway cottage. The property is newly refurbished, has modern decor, all mod cons and is warm and comfortable. The wood burning stove, and brass bath tub under a well lit pergola at the end of the garden made our stay extra special. Despite being located half a mile down a dark country lane, the instructions we received were easy to follow and finding and accessing the property was straightforward. Communication with the owners was excellent throughout and we appreciated the welcome-pack gesture too. The property is only 4 miles from the nearest major town and access to a broad selection of shops and amenities.Just a couple of minor niggles. Instead of a kettle, the sink was fitted with 'quooker' hot water appliance which did not heat the water to a sufficient temperature for tea / coffee so we had to top-up using the microwave. There were no tea towels, oven gloves or baking trays which made some cooking aspects a challenge. However, I'm sure this was just an oversight. Overall, we were delighted with the property and had a wonderful relaxing break and would highly recommend to others. 10/10Thank you.
