A warm welcome awaits you in the heart of the Colne valley, a refurbished barn conversion with a large wet room in a rural, peaceful setting. The room includes a continental style breakfast. We are a short walking distance from Earls Colne village and only a short drive to the old town of Colchester and Sudbury in Suffolk.
We are a family run bed and breakfast with a homely feel.
Earls Colne village is a delightful part of Essex with various restaurants, stunning country side and pretty local walks.
