Tucked away in the peaceful Hertfordshire countryside, Meesden Hall is a recently renovated home full of character, warmth, and thoughtful design. I've spent years collecting unique pieces to create a space that feels both stylish and personal, with every room telling its own story. You can book the whole house for up to 20 guests, or just a private room if you’re after a quiet stay. When the full property is booked, guests have exclusive access to a private pool, tennis court, croquet lawn, ping pong, billiards, and a great speaker system – perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Whether you're here for a special occasion or a peaceful retreat, I want Meesden Hall to feel like a true home away from home. I'm always nearby if you need recommendations or a hand with anything during your stay.
Hi, I'm Tilly, and I’m so happy to welcome you to Meesden Hall. Hosting is something I genuinely love it brings me joy to share this special home with others and help make their stays relaxing, memorable, and full of little comforts. I have a real passion for interiors and have spent years carefully curating every corner of the house. I also absolutely love animals, so don’t be surprised if you spot a friendly four-legged visitor or hear stories about my pets! Whether you're here for a weekend escape or a big celebration, I’ll do everything I can to make you feel at home.
Nestled in the peaceful Hertfordshire countryside, Meesden Hall offers a perfect blend of rural tranquility and nearby attractions. The village itself is charming, with historic sites like St Mary’s Church and beautiful village greens perfect for relaxing walks. Just a mile away is The Black Horse, our family favourite pub, known for its warm atmosphere, delicious food, and great selection of local ales. Nearby, you’ll also find The Cock Inn in the village of Chrishall, and The Plough in Great Chesterford—both offering cozy settings and classic British pub fare. For a day out, the historic market town of Saffron Walden is about 6 miles away. It’s packed with independent shops, quaint cafés, and cultural spots like the Saffron Walden Museum and the stunning Bridge End Gardens, featuring a beautiful maze and seasonal events. If you enjoy the outdoors, there are plenty of options nearby: explore scenic walking and cycling routes across the Chiltern Hills, visit Audley End House and Gardens for a grand country estate experience, or wander the peaceful paths of Oughtonhead Common Nature Reserve. For food lovers, Saffron Walden also offers great dining options including The Crown, The Plough at Wenden Lofts, and No. 9 Market Hill—perfect for a relaxed meal after a day of sightseeing. Whether you’re here to unwind with countryside walks, enjoy great food and drink, or explore historic sites, the neighbourhood around Meesden Hall has something for everyone.
