Comfortable property, set in beautiful fields, a little off the beaten track but ten minutes drive from town.
Owners very responsive to questions and helpful, to the extent of coming out to help with small issues with WiFi. There were some wasps flying around but it was dealt with immediately by the owners and they called out a company that day that solved the problem.
We had a lovely stay.

Big, comfortable country space close to some of the best of Essex
We were travelling as 4 adults, 2 kids and a baby, and there are very few locations in Essex that could accommodate so many in such comfort. A stone's throw from Maldon and Colchester, but in the middle of wide open fields with the wonderful smells of wheat fields and old churches. Very well finished inside and out, and very well equipped for everyday living. Carmel was a wonderful host, very accommodating and welcoming. If we ever need to stay in Essex as a large family again, we'll be staying here.
Having spent several years designing, renovating and rebuilding the barns, we started welcoming guests in 2011. We are a family run business and live locally so are on hand to give as much help as you need or are happy to be discreet if you just want to chill and enjoy your stay. We love taking our dogs on holiday so wanted to offer that option for guests. Pets are welcome in the Barley Barn, Hay Barn and Cart Lodge. We keep the Shire Stables pet free as we appreciate some people have allergies or prefer a pet free environment.
