Property code: OC-HATCH

Bespoke and platinum graded luxury accommodation throughout with the Four equally sized en-suite bedrooms and a superb vaulted open plan living space designed for entertaining. A marvellous contemporary property set in rural splendour, this is an ideal choice for celebrating milestone birthdays and special occasions with family. Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, there are lavish treats for your entire party including a hot tub, several dining spots and a vast garden. You’ll be located in the chocolate-box village of Steeple Bumpstead, close to the border with Cambridgeshire and Essex and idyllically positioned for long walks through the countryside. Haverhill is 3.5 miles away, a friendly market town dotted with shops, eateries and historic buildings. Cambridge is 20 miles away and well worth a visit, especially if you arrange a punt along the river to soak up the culture and atmosphere.

Elegant and impressive with chic interiors and more than a touch of charm, this accommodation option adds an special extra touch for any holiday. By day, natural light streams in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and at night you can switch on the atmospheric lighting and embrace the party vibe. Beautiful decor, plush furniture and stunning fixtures and fittings set the scene in every room. Light the wood burner in the lounge and watch the flames dance until the early hours, or gather your loved ones for a night of fine dining and prepare a feast in the spectacular kitchen/diner. A glass hallway overlooks this open-plan space, and there are awe-inspiring views from the bi-fold doors. No detail has been spared, you’ll discover a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine for your morning coffee fix and a wine fridge for extravagant dinners. Everyone in the family has been thought of too, even the four-pawed members – the utility room features dog towels and a special washing area, a useful detail for the post-walk washdown. All four bedrooms feature their own en-suite and are individually named, two of which are tucked on the ground floor with en-suite wet rooms. Upstairs, one of the bedrooms boasts a Juliet balcony with views over the garden, and both have walk-in wardrobes. All of the bedrooms have the added bonus of a TV and Bose speakers for quiet evening entertainment.

The garden has beautiful vistas of the surrounding countryside and easy access to a plethora of walking trails. Encompassing over 3 acres, you’ll have ample space to relax and several options for al fresco dining. The porcelain-tiled terrace is equipped with a 6-ring gas BBQ, stone loungers and garden furniture, and there is a hot tub for your exclusive use.

Fantastic stay at The Hatchery with friends. Beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, the kitchen very well equipped and extra things like a dog shower and boot cleaner outside were so useful after a dog walk. Huge hot tub in large garden. Would definitely return!

The Hatchery was an outstanding holiday home for us. We had the most enjoyable time, walking around the grounds, family dinners inside and also dinning outside, making use of the hot tub. It was all exquisite. We came with our elderly parents, who were able to enjoy the house to its fullest, as everything they needed was on the ground level. Read more The house had everything and more you could hope to use on a holiday stay. Our hosts were so accommodating and on hand when needed. We would be delighted to stay here again. Hide
