Quality Holiday Cottages, Elmstead Market, Colchester, Essex

Bird’s Farm has been the home of five holiday cottages for many years and we have been welcoming guests since 2008, when we became the owners. 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 reception and 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.

A perfect location

We are in a semi-rural location, 4 miles from Colchester and 2 miles from the university. Our location means, that we are only a 20 minute drive from the coast. The Essex and Suffolk countryside and estuaries are also nearby.

Open all year…

Open all year, we believe our accommodation will provide you with a comfortable base to explore the various attractions, visit family & friends, relax in the garden or in the summer, by the pool.
