We have generous spaces of rooms and are currently renovating them to include ensuites to go
along with the period features.
Downham Hall is a fantastic historic home in a wonderfully secluded yet spacious plot
surrounded on all sides by fields and the corresponding farm. We have a moat, lovely gardens and
great rolling fields.
Despite our rural location we are lucky to be close to so many activities and of course easy
access to London opens up so much. We have listed a lot of these activities on our activities page.
We have individual rooms to hire, our entire South Wing by the week and also our function spaces
including indoor and outdoor options.
There are public footpaths running very close to the property and many other
walks not too much further afield. Here is the local
ordnance survey map to track local routes. Here is also a helpful page for a
good route from the Church that faces the Hall – Essex
Walks
Only a short 5 minute drive we also have Hanningfield reservoir which
is great for shorter family walks with a nice cafe and plenty of parkingRead more
We are a family run business and actively welcome children and so understand
the need to entertain them at times.
Luckily we have some really good attractions locally due to the family friendly nature of
Essex.
Most notably we have Marsh Farm a short drive in South Woodham Ferrers. Primarily aimed at
younger children but very well done and somewhere we used to travel with our kids to for an
hour (when we lived in London). More info here Marsh
Farm
There are many others we can help with but one we find all the family
enjoy, including older children, is Tropical

We plan to run a high quality but affordable property that is attractive for individuals on
business, couples enjoying a break and also families with children of all ages.
As owners, we have been all of the above and know what each is looking for and will be on
hand to help with everything you need.
We are so lucky to be surrounded in all directions by rolling farmland and part of a natural
bowl one side and overlooking miles of views the other side. Stunning location that you
would feel like we are miles from the nearest town but truly only 5 minutes away.
