Easthorpe Retreat is a log cabin in Easthorpe, about seven miles from Colchester. It’s in our garden, but it's private. There's a small enclosed courtyard for you, and you have your own hot tub.
It’s for two people. One bedroom, one shower room. It’s got a 4 Star rating. The kitchen is compact but it has what you need. We leave some toiletries for you.
The village is quiet. The local pub is half a mile away, it does food. The nearest shop is two miles, in Coggeshall.
If you like walking, Abberton Reservoir is very close. It’s a huge lake with a nature reserve path. There are bird hides. Essex Wildlife Trust has details.
