The Horse Box at Iron Pear Tree Farm

Iron Pear Tree farm has been family run for three generations. Restoring the unused farm buildings has been a labour of love for us, and we wanted to make sure that we provided unique luxury accommodation whilst maintaining the history of the buildings. The farm is a working one, so guest will be able to relax and enjoy the country setting, as well as get to know our animals. Views out across the farm provide the perfect backdrop for a country get-away whatever the season. The Horse Box is a beautifully converted horse lorry located in the wild flower meadow of our working farm. Hand crafted inside, The Horse Box boasts a spacious double mezzanine level bedroom, open plan kitchen/living area and separate bathroom. The unique and eclectic decor inside has been wonderfully thought out and includes all hand made cabinets and curtains, as well as a log burner. Outside there is a secluded seating area with BBQ, fire and wood fired bath tub that overlooks the rolling fields and woodland. All with gorgeous country views out across the farm. *Please Note* 1 medium/large dog or 2 small dogs are welcome and we are happy for you to walk them across the farm, but The Horse Box does not have a secure garden. Access to and from the surrounding villages and towns could not be easier with our very own bus stop situated just outside the farm entrance. Just a short drive into the village is a lovely pub, and if you are looking for somewhere to eat there is a variety of pubs, restaurants and eateries just a short drive away. Free onsite parking for up to TWO cars is provided right outside your accommodation. Situated on our working farm, we are just a stones throw away to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. While we can't guarantee that we will be at home 24/7, we will be contactable by phone during business hours and in case of an emergency. In a picturesque country location, that include beautiful walks and bridal ways. The Horse Box is close to the historical Hedighman Castle, Gosfield Lake, the oldest recorded town of Colchester as well as many pretty villages and market towns within short drive. We are also located near several beautiful wedding/party venues.

Please Note: Our outside Tub is wood fired. It will be filled ready for guests arrival but guests will need to start the fire and heat the water themselves. All logs and firelighters needed are provided free of charge for the duration of the stay, and full instructions on how to best use the fire and tub are in our welcome books and laminated sheet by the tub itself. The tub must be emptied and refilled between uses, and instructions are provided for this also. Living on site we are also available to assist if needed when we are home and our contact information is also listed in the welcome book.
