LUXURY CABINS AND COTTAGES ON THE ESSEX AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE BORDER
Nestled in the quiet village of Wimbish, just five miles from Saffron Walden, fifteen minutes from Cambridge and under an hour from London, Pepples Farm is a luxury countryside escape like no other. Choose from four beautifully appointed self catering stays, two barn conversion cottages and two secluded woodland cabins, each with its own outdoor copper bath, wood burner and private garden.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a couples retreat in Essex, or simply need a few days to escape the everyday and recharge, this is the place to truly switch off.
COTTAGES
Our two cottages, Wiggles and Piglet, are warm and elegant barn conversions with vaulted ceilings, king size beds dressed in luxurious linens, fully equipped kitchens and bi fold doors that open onto your own private garden. Step outside, sink into your outdoor copper bath beneath the pagoda canopy, and watch the sun set over the Essex countryside. These are holiday cottages in Essex with every modern comfort and all the charm of the countryside.
cabins
For those who want to go a little wilder, Little Long Cabin and Sleepy Hollow Cabin sit tucked deeper into the farm amongst the trees. Each features underfloor heating, a wood burner, an outdoor copper bath with jacuzzi jets, a movie projector, record player and binoculars for watching the deer and red kites that roam freely across the estate. If you’ve been searching for hot tub lodges in Essex or a luxury cabin near London, look no further.
A FARM STAY IN THE ESSEX COUNTRYSIDE
Pepples Farm is more than just a place to stay. It’s a working landscape in quiet transformation. Ancient woodlands are being reconnected, wildflower meadows sown, and natural ponds restored to create a private nature reserve. Pull on your boots, explore the footpaths, and soak up the undisturbed views across acres of open countryside. What will you spot amongst the trees, crops and skies?
WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
Sleepy Hollow cabin was just a dream. I arrived, and instantly thought, the photos don’t do it justice. It’s even cosier in person. The location is to die for, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The cabin had everything you would need to make yourself feel at home. Not to mention the perks of a record player, the projector, and the outdoor bathtub.
TILLY
What a phenomenal stay! Wiggles Cottage was a perfect retreat. There were so many little details that made such a big difference, from Italian herbs in the cupboard, to perfectly shaped Prosecco glasses ready for chilled bubbles.
The garden space was truly exceptional and the bath outside added next level luxury. The best stay we have had in a very very long time!
CHARLIE and lauren
This is a beautiful place to stay with nature and light all around you. Amenities are excellent with a great bed and mattress, a well-equipped kitchen and additional features like an outside bath and fire pit. The property is in excellent condition and very clean. We had a fantastic time in a beautiful area - thank you!

MEET ME IN WIMBISH
Pepples Farm is an enchanting retreat set in the peaceful village of Wimbish, just moments from the historic market town of Saffron Walden. Perched on the Essex and Cambridgeshire border, this serene escape blends rustic charm with modern sophistication, offering four unique stays for couples seeking relaxation, nature, and a genuine touch of luxury. Our two barn conversion cottages, Wiggles and Piglet, are warm and elegant spaces with vaulted ceilings, wood burners, king-size beds dressed in luxurious linens, and fully equipped kitchens with everything you need for a long, indulgent stay. Step through the bi-fold doors into your own private garden and you'll find our signature centrepiece: a stunning copper bath beneath a pagoda, where you can soak under the stars before wrapping up in a soft robe and settling beside the fire pit. For those who want to go a little wilder, our two cabins, Little Long Cabin and Sleepy Hollow, sit tucked deeper into the farm amongst the trees. Each shares the same copper outdoor bath with jacuzzi air jets, wood burner and underfloor heating, but adds its own sense of seclusion, along with a movie projector, record player and binoculars for watching the deer and red kites that roam freely across the estate. The farm itself is a landscape in quiet transformation. With records dating from 1560, Pepples Farm is actively being rewilded, ancient woodlands reconnected, wildflower meadows sown, and natural ponds restored, creating a private nature reserve that guests are warmly invited to explore. Saffron Walden is just five miles away, Cambridge fifteen minutes, and London under an hour. Whether you're looking for romance, rest, or simply a few days to reconnect with the natural world, Pepples Farm promises an experience you won't forget.
