One-bedroom luxury barn conversion, private copper tub, fire pit, open farmland on your doorstep.
There’s a particular kind of happiness that comes from having nowhere to be. Piglet Cottage was made for exactly that.
Set on a working farm in the peaceful Essex hamlet of Wimbish, this characterful barn conversion wraps you in warmth the moment you arrive. Outside, open farmland rolls quietly to the horizon. Inside, everything has been chosen with care - and with you in mind. Saffron Walden’s medieval market town is just minutes away, and Cambridge a mere half an hour, but once you’re here, you may find leaving is the last thing you want to do.
Inside: The heart of Piglet Cottage is its open-plan living space - high vaulted ceilings drawing the eye upward, quality fittings throughout, and a wood burner that earns its place on even a mild evening. The sofa is the kind you genuinely sink into. The flat-screen TV is there if you want a lazy night in, though the fire tends to win.
The kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooking - induction hob, oven, coffee machine, and Quooker tap - with generous worktop space.
The Bedroom: Soft, considered, and genuinely restful. The king-size bed is dressed in quality linens, the lighting is warm and unhurried, and robes and slippers are there for the taking. The bathroom - bath with shower over - is clean and well-appointed.
The Garden: Push open the bi-fold doors and the outside becomes yours. At the centre of the private garden, a copper tub sits beneath a pergola, open to the sky and to the sound of the surrounding farmland settling into evening. Fill it, sink in, and let everything go. Few things recalibrate the mind quite like warm water, cold air, and a view of open fields above the steam. Afterwards, pull on your robe and take a seat by the fire pit. Top up your drink. There is genuinely nothing on the agenda.
The Area: Wimbish is quiet in the best possible way - footpaths leading off into open countryside, minimal traffic, maximum sky. Saffron Walden is only a few minutes’ drive, offering independent shops, cafés, a weekly market, and the lovely Bridge End Gardens. Cambridge - with its museums, colleges, and river punting - is under 20 minutes away and well worth a day of your time.
Travelling as a Foursome? Piglet Cottage can be booked alongside Wiggles Cottage (ref. UK47692) - the two sit side by side on the farm, giving two couples their own front door, their own copper tub, and their own fire pit, while sharing the space together.

We had a lovely weekend at Piglet Cottage. Comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed.

We loved our time at Piglet Cottage - it was spotless, with excellent amenities. We particularly enjoyed how bright and airy the space was. The bed was extremely comfortable as well! A great place that we hope to go back to - one of the best we’ve been to.

Piglet cottage is the perfect place if you want a peaceful getaway-the decor is amazing and they have thought of absolutely everything that you might want or need - if you have a stressful lifestyle or want to get away from people this is a prefect place to have a reset - unfortunately we had to leave early due to personal matters but we will definitely be returning
