A place to come to unwind, relax, watch the birds and on a clear night sit outside with a fire and see the stars.
Wendy wagon sits at the top of the hill in her own tranquil space behind the Craft Room and our house. We are at the top of the hill with long views over farmland and Lavenham with its famous timber framed buildings and church. A short walk down the hill and you are in Lavenham with a choice of pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and shops.
Wendy Wagon is a large shepherds hut built by us with help from a couple of skilled joiners, She is lined with sheep’s wool, clad with larch and has a woodburner, oven and fridge.
This was our home for 4 years during the construction of our house and workshop.
Wendy is now kitted out to accommodate guests, with a kingsize bed, single day bed, electric lighting, and heating, I supply all bedding and crockery. There are composting loos but also a shower room nearby with toilet. There is an outside firepit, table and chairs.
There are lovely walks through treelined paths that are easily accessed. There are often hares, deers, buzzards and foxes to be seen, in spring the skylarks sing incessantly.
If you are interested in booking Wendy Wagon, I usually only do 2 nights minimum and respond to emails with pricing, availability etc. I offer a discount to people booked onto my workshops.

Reviews
‘Such a great little spot to enjoy a weekend away from the city. The wagon has a great fire and a cosy interior that is just walking distance from some great pubs in the village. Highly recommended Michaela’
‘We stayed in the wagon for two nights and it made an already lovely trip that extra bit more lovely! Sue is a great host, easy to get hold of and provides great suggestions for the local area. The wagon is clean and there was even a homemade tea loaf on the side for breakfast. Open fire whilst stargazing was a real treat. It might seem odd to say but even the duvet was absolutely tip top – excellent choice of tog!! Haha Have recommended to friends and family, the perfect little place for a short stay! Thanks Sue (and best of luck with the glazing, I’m very envious of your craft room!)’

‘What a fab space! The locality was perfect – being able to watch the stars at night sitting in the field under a blanket – hot drink in hand – no lights to spoil the view. ‘Wendy’ was cosy and inviting, quirky and spotlessly clean. If you’re not keen on the outside ‘composting’ toilets (which are actually quite fun – his and her’s loo’s with a peephole view across the field) then don’t worry as there is a great toilet/shower room for use close by with all you could need to hand’
