Quality Holiday Cottages, Elmstead Market, Colchester, Essex
Bird’s Farm has been the home of four holiday cottages for many years. Although Birds Farm is no longer a working farm, its farming heritage is evident throughout the accommodation. All of our cottages have wooden beams, which hint at its earlier use.
One of our cottages is within the main barn, as is the games room. At the rear of the barn is a communal courtyard, surrounded by the other cottages, all of which are on ground level. All benefit from having double glazing and thermostatically controlled electric heating.
All of the cottages at Bird’s Farm are pet-friendly holiday cottages.
