Spent the night under the stars. The surroundings are lovely. A big lake, plenty of wildlife. The hot tub is amazing. Such peace and tranquility. |You can take a nature trail or just relax in the hot tub. Lovely cabin in a lovely destination. I would recommend staying here if you need to destress.

Liked: Having 3 children ranging from 4-14 it’s often hard to find something they all enjoy but we found it at Wimbish! Treasure hunts around the farm, our own garden full of games, hot tub with stunning views. …

We had a lovely 3 day stay at the Owl cabin. We had the pleasure of meeting little Nugget. The hot tub and fire pit were lovely. Plus so much activities to do inside and outside in the play shed. Our daughter loved seeing the horses and ducks. She also loved the nature trail. We’ll definitely be returning.

Loved our mini break in the 'hobbit house'. Lizzie was really helpful when booking and the cabin was very well kitted out. Loved our hot tub - but know now to be patient - if you stoke it too enthusiastically it gets too hot! Lots of walks available from the cabins. It would be nice if the cabin had a fenced area so that the dog could be let off the lead - but that is my only (tiny) quibble

Me and my partner stay here for 3 nights and I must say I'm very impressed the location was so peaceful and you could hear the beautiful bird singing away they have great private garden and patio area with provided games in the shed along side a hot tub , fire pit and BBQ , unfortunately the hot tub was to hot for us so we couldn't use it, the only down side to the cabin was the lack of cooking utinles, there was no cutlery to eat your food either but other than we had the best stay at wimbish hall cabin and we will definitely be coming back again.

We have just enjoyed a few days at Wimbish Hall Cabins and it was wonderful. The location is superb - so peaceful and relaxing. Having your own 'garden' area is brilliant, and although we did not use them, the inclusion of things such as swing ball and badminton sets was a great idea. It is easy and comfortable to spend time outside, and we spent a lot of time just listening to the birds and watching the wildlife on the lake. The location is excellent to explore some beautiful countryside nearby and Audley End House. Recommend using Calzone Pizza if you want a 'night in' - they deliver to the cabins and are very tasty! The hot tub was lovely - yes, we needed to keep an eye on it re the temperature, but we knew that before we went, so that was absolutely fine. Use of space in the cabin was really well thought out, and had everything we could want. It was perfect to not have a TV for us! And first time using an air fryer. Only very slight downside was that the shower was not very powerful and difficult to get temperature right. But this did not detract from a great stay. Thank you (and thank you Nugget for visiting!)

We enjoyed our stay at the cabins for my birthday,The cabin itself lovely decorated , clean and tidy.There was few things that bought our stay down unfortunately, was the really bad road up to the cabins off the main road, we was worried was going to damage the car.The hot tub , if a faff in our opinion , it was lovely how it was log burning but it’s difficult to try and maintain the temperature.The cabin was lacking certain appliances and entertainment such as tv and oven to cook your own food.If we were to stay again, we’d hope there be more appliances and road fixture.

Overall, it was a nice cosy place in a nice location.Early check in was provided upon request as we were leaving early anyway which was good. The host was lovely and helped us heat up the jacuzzi.The room is quite small and ceiling is a bit low especially on top of the bed you may bang your head by accident but cosy enough for 2 people. The jacuzzi is good however as you need wood to heat it up it can take a very long time (between 3-4 hours), so if you’re there for a short time it may not be that ideal.Everything else was tidy and clean, however there was no cutlery (spoons, forks, knives) to have your food.Also, no shower gels/shampoo provided.Bath robes & slippers, and towels provided however towels could be upgraded to newer ones.Bedding was ok not bad.Price is worth it only for the jacuzzi (again, if you’re there for a longer time) and having a private cosy place to stay :)

Liked: The facilities were fantastic everything you needed for a great stay was available. The fire making for the hot tube and the log fire was so much fun and the private outside space was so good to enjoy your own time.
The beds were super comfortable and the shower was lovely and warm.
