The shared portacabin houses one shower and one toilet, with hot water and hand soap provided. Free on-site private parking, heating, and non-smoking rooms are standard, and each pod includes a dining table, outdoor furniture, and a wardrobe.
Leisure
Guests have access to 100 acres of farm and woodland with fields, forests, and lakes for walking and fishing. A garden, terrace, picnic area, and barbecue facilities are available, along with a fire pit and a small barbecue on the pod porch. Wheelbarrows of firewood can be purchased for £15, and the property includes a communal picnic table and outdoor seating.
Points of Interest
Layer Marney Tower is 2 km from the farm, Colchester Zoo is 7 km, and Colchester Castle is 12 km. Freeport Braintree shopping centre is 20 km away, Hedingham Castle is 30 km, and London Stansted Airport is 50 km.

Pet-Friendly Policies
Dogs are allowed on site and the hotel provides pet bowls for guests. All dogs must remain on a lead at all times, and the property can loan a long lead if needed. The surrounding fields and woods offer ample space for dog walking, and the quiet rural setting minimises road noise.
Guest Experience
Guests consistently highlight the quietness of the area and the convenience for nature trips. The pod is described as cosy and spacious, with a heater that works well even in cold seasons. The host is noted for being accommodating, and the property's freedom to roam 100 acres is a frequent compliment.
