Games room (shared with other properties on site) Outdoor swimming pool (open May-September shared with other properties on-site, 9m x 4m, depth 0.9m x 1.8m, ). Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Nestled in the picturesque village of Elmstead Market, this charming one-bedroom barn is the perfect getaway for couples or friends seeking a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home. Robin features a spacious ground-floor bedroom, thoughtfully furnished to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. The bedroom boasts a super king-size bed that can be converted to two singles upon request. Guests can unwind in style with a comfortable sofa, flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi after a day of exploring. The dining area comfortably seats two, ideal for enjoying meals together, and the well-equipped kitchen allows for easy meal preparation.
Outside, a communal courtyard and gardens await, along with an outdoor pool—perfect for a refreshing dip on warm summer days or lounging poolside with a good book. Elmstead Market is a charming village offering a range of local amenities, including quaint shops, a traditional pub, and scenic walking trails. Its location is ideal for exploring nearby attractions such as Colchester Zoo, Dedham Vale, and the historic town of Colchester, known for its Roman heritage and vibrant shopping and dining scene. Don’t miss the famous Colchester Castle, which features various displays throughout the year.
For garden enthusiasts, the award-winning Beth Chatto Gardens showcases an amazing array of plants. Wivenhoe also has plenty to charm visitors with its rich history involving fishing, yachts, dinghies, and smuggling. A pretty church with a distinctive cupola sits on the site of the first Saxon church, while the quaint streets lead to the picturesque waterfront, where fishing boats and small sailing craft bob at their moorings—perfect for sipping a pint or glass of wine on the harbourside.
If you fancy a day by the coast, you’re spoiled for choice; Brightlingsea is just a short drive away, and for a typical British seaside experience, Clacton, Walton on the Naze, and Frinton offer delightful options. For a less commercial vibe, Mersea Island is perfect. Whether you’re looking to explore the Essex countryside, enjoy coastal walks, or simply relax by the pool, this one-bedroom holiday let-in Elmstead Market provides a delightful and convenient home away from home.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 14 guests.
