Our places in Saffron Walden

There are 18 places in and around Saffron Walden, and most are big houses rather than compact cabins. Sizes run from a one-bedroom place for 4 up to a nine-bedroom house for 24. If you are travelling as a couple, the choice is narrow. If you are a group of ten or more, you have plenty to compare, and splitting the bill makes the cost per head far easier to live with.

Saffron Walden suits groups more than couples. The places here are large, with an average capacity of about 11 guests and the biggest sleeping 24, so they work for family reunions, birthday weekends and friends sharing the cost of a house. Every place has a hot tub, which is rarely the case elsewhere in the region.

Prices reflect that size. A usual night is well above what you would pay for a small cabin for two, and the choice at the cheap end is thin. Guest ratings are good at about 8.3 out of 10. Around two thirds of the places have a log burner, and nearly three quarters take pets in some form. Winter weeks cost a little less than weeks outside winter, though the gap is modest and the monthly pattern is not a simple slide downwards.

Features

All 18 places have a hot tub, so it is not a feature you need to filter for. Gardens are nearly as common, at 17 places, and 13 have a BBQ and a high chair, which helps if you are bringing young children. A log burner or fireplace appears in 12 places, and those tend to cost a little more than the rest. Only one place lists a children's play area, so check that separately if it matters. Dog-friendly places are common, and a few take pets on request.

By number of guests

Small places for 3 to 4 guests usually cost less per night than any other group, but the cost per person is higher than in the big houses. Places for 5 to 6 are dearer per person still. The best value per head is in the largest houses, those for 15 to 19, where a usual night is much higher in total but works out clearly cheaper for each guest.

Around Saffron Walden

If nothing fits in town, nearby areas widen the choice. Cambridge has the most places, 13, and the lowest starting price of the group, so it suits smaller budgets or smaller parties. Hertford has 9 places and Chappel has 8. Great Sampford and Toppesfield have 5 places each, with Toppesfield starting dearer. Chelmsford also has 5. Each is a short drive in the same part of eastern England, so it is easy to compare several places before you commit.

FAQs

Do all lodges in Saffron Walden have a hot tub?

Yes, all 18 places we track have one. You do not need to filter for it. What differs is size, price and whether there is also a log burner or a garden.

Is it cheaper to go in winter?

A week in winter usually costs a bit less than a week outside winter. Within winter, November is the cheapest month and January the dearest, so the exact dates matter more than the season.

Are there options for a couple or a small family?

A few, but the choice is limited. Four places sleep 3 to 4 and these are the cheapest nights. Most of the rest are houses for large groups, which are better value per person than for two.

Do the lodges allow pets?

Around 72 percent accept pets, either as dog friendly or on request. Check the terms before booking, as some places ask you to confirm in advance.
