The Duckhouse is a unique space located right next door to our Pygmy goats and chicken enclosure. Guests could arrive by train to Colchester main station and a 10 minute taxi ride if they want a tranquil break, staying onsite. However a car is recommended. There is a regular bus service to the train station and Colchester town. The bust stop is approximately 15 minutes walk The stunning Essex Way footpath runs through the farm and it is possible to walk for miles through Countryside of areas of outstanding natural beauty. Our check in time is usually 4pm as we give ourselves a larger window to rectify any hot tub or property issues from the previous guests. We do try our hardest to have the lodges ready for 2/2:30pm so please keep an eye on your AirBnB messages on check in day as you will be notified as soon as the property is ready with all your information needed to gain access. Our check out time is 10am unless otherwise arranged.
