Bury Farm Cottages - Discover the real Essex at our recently
renovated self catering cottages in the peaceful village of Great Canfield.
Ideally situated for Stansted Airport, Cambridge, Duxford, Colchester,
Chelmsford, Saffron Walden and only an hour from Central London / West End they
are hidden away along a half mile private lane and offer high quality comfort,
rural views, bird watching and farm walks.
The cottages were formerly bake houses and stables and have been converted to a
very high standard combining authentic features from a bygone age with the
convenience of modern amenities.
Each cottage has vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, oak flooring and doors. They
are also very well equipped with TV and video, mini hi-fi systems, dishwasher,
fridge freezer, microwave, oven and hob in each kitchen.

and laundry room with cot and high chair available on request.
We also welcome well behaved pets at Bury Farm Cottages.
Welcome note:
Renovated during the summer of 2004 and ready to take bookings from the 22nd of
October Bury Farm Cottages can be found in the village of Great Canfield, North
Essex and are hidden away along a half mile private lane. Set amidst our
300-acre farm this quiet rural location enables you to get away from the hustle
and bustle of everyday life.
Sarah, Jonathan and their family look forward to making you feel welcome and
hope you enjoy this beautiful spot as much as they and their family have done
over the years.
Bury Farm itself dates back to the 18th Century and has been
run by the Clarke family since the 1920s.
Jonathan is the third generation to be farming the land.
Jonathan is keen to encourage bio-diversity on the farm – new hedgerows have
been planted, beetle banks and grass margins have been introduced through the
Countryside Stewardship scheme to encourage an increased variety of wildlife on
the farm.
An encouraging sign and a wonderful sight to behold are the little owls, which
can be seen both day and night around the meadowland.
Skylarks are also returning and can often be heard in the fields.
We also have a number of badger sets within the surrounding area of the farm.
Footpaths criss-cross the farm giving you the opportunity to stretch the legs on
a sunny summer’s morning or for the more adventurous.
Information on longer walks can be found in each cottage for you to browse
through at your own convenience.
The cottages are completely self contained and
centrally heated with their own front door and terrace which can be accessed
through the patio doors in each of the lounges.
We provide quality mattresses, duvets, linen and towels and for each week of
your stay you will receive clean sheets and duvet covers, towels and tea towels.
One basket of firewood and logs are provided free for Baker’s and Bread Cottage.
BBQs and garden furniture including umbrellas are provided with each cottage.
Highchair, cot and some children’s videos are available on request.
Each cottage has its own iron and ironing board and all have access to the
laundry room, which contains washing machine, and tumble dryer. We provide
all washing powder etc and just ask that you put £3 in the pot next to the
machines after each use.
In the lounge of each cottage you will find a folder detailing walks, the best
pubs and restaurants and brochures on what to do and what is going on in the
area. There is also an album of photographs that charts the progress of
converting the cottages – the transformation is quite remarkable.
In addition we provide a full English breakfast pack which includes bacon,
sausages and eggs (all locally sourced), local honey, tea, coffee, sugar, butter
and a pint of milk which is supplied by the local milkman and can be delivered
throughout your stay if you so wish.
There is also a games room which houses a three-quarter sized snooker table and
darts board.
Games including children’s ones and jigsaws and cards are available on request.
All of the cottages are NO Smoking.
Well behaved pets are always welcome.
