“The Tea Caddy was magical, absolutely stunning and immaculate throughout. We had a truly wonderful stay. We particularly loved cosy nights by the fire and relaxing bubble baths. We cannot wait to return.”

Property information
As if a fairy-tale cottage plucked from the pages of Hans Christian Andersen, The Tea Caddy’s unique architecture and setting is the stuff of wondrous and magical fantasy. Built around 1818 in the shape of a tea caddy by a member of the famous Wedgwood family, this historically-important building is protected by the National Trust. With a modern twist, it has recently had a luxurious and meticulous renovation with the interior design developing its origins in Wedgwood patterns and decorative contemporary finishes. It is a rich, indulgent, comfortable and cosy out-of-the-ordinary experience tucked away down a quiet country lane, opposite a vineyard in the heart of the delightful Dedham Vale. There’s nothing like it!
