Linley Farm Cottages - Meadow View Cottage

Meadow View Cottage is a ground-floor property at Linley Farm, converted from the original farm buildings and set within extensive grounds. The single-step entrance opens directly into a living space with sofa bed, television and DVD player, flowing through to a kitchen equipped for everyday cooking. Two bedrooms follow: one with a double bed and en-suite wet room; the other with a pair of bunk beds served by a separate bathroom. Both bathrooms have baths with shower attachments. Heating and hot water are included, along with bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi throughout.

The cottage suits families or groups needing space across two bathrooms. A cot and highchair are available, and one well-behaved pet is welcome. You have use of a patio with garden furniture and access to the 2-acre grounds; laundry facilities (shared with other farm cottages) are on-site. Private parking for two or three cars means no hunting for spaces. The farm location puts you within half an hour's drive of coastal towns including Brightlingsea and Walton-on-the-Naze, while Colchester with its castle and shops is closer still. A shop lies 500 yards away and a pub two miles down the lane. Smoking is not permitted inside the property.
