Tudor country house sleeping 14 with a pool and tennis, for family holidays and weekends near Saffron Walden

Holiday Rental for Groups of Families and Friends.
Pollards Cross, Hempstead, Saffron Walden, North Essex, sleeps 2-14 in 6 bedrooms.

Pollards Cross is a Tudor country house sleeping 14 with all mod cons and offering a wonderful venue for family holidays. 2 night minimum stay, except in July and August which are reserved for holidays of a minimum of 5 days.

Relax in the low-beamed sitting room, where the 48-inch TV and sound system are among many modern comforts making this Tudor gem as comfortable as it is beautiful. At mealtimes, master the Aga and the Miele oven in the dining kitchen, enjoy more formal suppers in the traditional Tudor dining room, or gather round the huge outdoor table. Climb the stairs to charming bedrooms with luxury bathrooms tucked into quirky spaces, where exposed beams meet wet-room showers and modern free-standing baths.

Enjoy your stay here, especially In the peaceful formal gardens where box hedges create structure and summer roses scent the air. While the sun shines, grab your rackets for tennis or don your togs for a dip in the pool, which is heated from mid April to mid September.

Out and about, enjoy country walks along Turpin’s Trail, a trip to London, or a punt down the river in Cambridge. Or visit spectacular Audley End House. Nearby Saffron Walden offers an array of independent shops and welcoming restaurants.

With accommodation for up to 14 guests, Pollards ticks all the boxes for a well-deserved holiday with lots to do - or the chance to do nothing at all.
