The Cart Lodge is a beautifully restored historic barn set in the heart of the Chigborough Farm Courtyard. Lovingly converted, it offers spacious and inviting accommodation for up to four guests, combining rustic charm with modern comfort. Exposed wooden beams, traditional brickwork and tasteful furnishings create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind and feel at home.

The open-plan living area is perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the countryside or fishing in the private lakes. A fully equipped kitchen adds convenience and the large dining table invites you to enjoy home-cooked meals together. Step out onto your private terrace to soak up the peace and tranquility of the surrounding landscape, an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening drinks.

For those who enjoy fishing, The Cart Lodge provides easy access to Chigborough’s private lakes, with trusted instructors available to help beginners or guide more experienced anglers. Beyond the lakes, there’s plenty to do on-site, from rowing and bike hire to massages and yoga sessions. You can paddle board from July - September (please bring your own paddleboards). Families can enjoy pottery painting and watersports, while nature lovers can follow scenic trails.

Set on a 130-acre rural oasis just outside Maldon in Essex, and only an hour from London, The Cart Lodge is ideally located for a peaceful countryside break close to the coast. Whether you’re looking to fish, relax, reconnect with nature, or spend quality time with family or a partner, this unique escape offers something for everyone.
