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.

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