Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Experience life in a beautifully restored 16th-century English manor house. The South Wing at Shore Hall combines historic character with modern comfort, offering five elegant bedrooms, gracious reception rooms, a chef's kitchen, and access to 22 acres of gardens, woodland and meadows, plus a heated outdoor pool and tennis court. Perfect for extended families and friends seeking an unforgettable countryside escape within easy reach of London and Cambridge.

The space
The South Wing occupies a private section of Shore Hall, our much-loved family home dating back to the 16th century. Rich in history yet wonderfully comfortable, it's designed for gathering, celebrating and slowing down together.

The accommodation includes five individually designed bedrooms with luxury bed linen and towels, a spacious chef's kitchen, a formal dining room seating ten, and an elegant drawing room centred around a large wood-burning fireplace. Large windows frame views across the gardens and lawns, creating beautiful spaces to relax throughout the seasons.

Outside, guests are free to explore 22 acres of formal gardens, orchards, woodland paths and wildflower meadows. During the warmer months, enjoy the heated outdoor swimming pool or a game of tennis before returning to the terrace for dinner.

Although wonderfully peaceful, Shore Hall is only minutes from Finchingfield, often described as England's most photographed village, 25 minutes from Saffron Walden, around 45 minutes from Cambridge, and just over an hour from London by train.

Fast gigabit fibre broadband is available throughout the property, making it equally suited to family holidays, celebrations and longer countryside stays.

Guest access
Guests enjoy exclusive use of the South Wing, including five bedrooms, the chef's kitchen, dining room, drawing room and private outdoor terrace.

You'll also have shared access to:
• Heated outdoor swimming pool (approximately May–September, weather permitting)
• Tennis court
• Barbecue area
• Formal gardens
• Orchards
• Woodland walks
• Wildflower meadows

The South Wing sits within our 22-acre estate, which we call home. During your stay you may see our horses, dogs, wildlife, members of our family, our estate team, or guests staying in our other holiday accommodation.

To ensure each residence enjoys peaceful use of the shared facilities, we allocate private two-hour sessions for the swimming pool, tennis court and barbecue area. We recommend reserving your preferred times at least 24 hours before arrival.

Parking is available beside the house, and EV charging is available (£56 per day).

Other things to note
Shore Hall is a peaceful family home and country estate, so we do not permit parties or events.

For the comfort and safety of all guests, only those included on your Airbnb booking may stay, and we'll ask for the names of all guests before arrival.

Families are welcome to book our optional horsemanship experience, where children spend two hours with our experienced equestrian team learning how to groom, feed and care for our friendly horses and ponies while enjoying an authentic hands-on experience of life on the estate.

Please contact us before your stay if you'd like more information or to reserve a place.

My work: Performance Coach
Fun fact: I used to be a tap dancer
Hi, I'm Lara. My husband James and I are fortunate to call Shore Hall home, where we live with our two daughters, dogs and horses. I work as a coach and advisor, helping leaders and entrepreneurs perform at their best. Our favourite part of welcoming guests is seeing families slow down, reconnect with nature, and leave with memories they'll treasure. We hope you'll love Shore Hall as much as we do.
