Embark on a countryside retreat at this farm in the Essex countryside. This converted barn offers an idyllic getaway for those seeking a rural setting in all seasons. Three cottages share the garden, so expect to see neighbouring guests during your stay. When you’re not out dining in a local pub, you can prepare dinners in the modern kitchen, or why not have your host arrange a fresh home-prepared meal for you? Audley End House, Hatfield Forest and Great Dunmow are just a short drive away, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore nearby too.
