Fabulous find, great communication from owner, arrived late and excellent direction to rental was given. On entering the property was very impressed, what a bargain for such a lovely property. Would definitely recommend Birds Farm if your visiting Colchester or surrounding areas.

Birds farm is a lovely place to stay for the local Essex or Sussex area. Very quiet in the evenings, despite being just off a busy road. Great facilities, good comfy beds, very warm heating and well supplied cooking facilities. A pool for summer, grounds and a Summer house and a well stocked games room for kids if the weather is bad. We found it superb for our short trip and would happily return. As we were a little out of season it seemed that some of the cottages opposite ours were being updated or renovated- ours didn’t seem to need anything- but if they are being redecorated, they will be superb! A super stay and great value.

Sadly the accommodation was very dirty and in places hadn’t been cleaned at all. I’m not sure if we were unlucky as we booked after reading amazing reviews. Beds were clean but the rest of of the property was very dirty. Microwave with spilt food in, fridge extremely dirty and had food in, bathroom had used loo roll on the floor, floors were filthy, I had to go buy cleaning products as we stuck to the floor. Kettle switch had been stuck on so just fell off, shower curtain was brown, cutlery and bowls dirty. Stains on throws of beds. Holes in bedroom stuffed up with tissue. Dead bugs on the floors in bedrooms, cobwebs and poorly finished decor. Not as per photos at all.
