Ideal for a relaxing break, Rye Farm lies on the edge of the village of Layer de la Haye in north east Essex. It is situated in attractive, unspoiled rural surroundings, about 4 miles south of Colchester.
The 17th century moated farmhouse is the home of Virginia and Peter Bunting who offer a warm personal welcome to their guests.
Rye Farm enjoys a quiet location, adjacent to Abberton Reservoir, a Wetland of International Importance and one of the most important wildfowl havens in Europe.
The entrance to Abberton Reservoir Nature Reserve & Visitor Centre is just over a mile away by road. Nearby Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town with plenty to see and do.
In the farmhouse itself we have three comfortable, well-equipped double rooms, each with ensuite facilities. During 2009 we also completed the conversion of our old 17th century cart lodge into three attractive self-catering apartments.
North east Essex is an attractive rural area with an interesting coastline which accounts for the several nature reserves in this part of the county.
There are also historic towns and villages to visit. We are not far from the Suffolk border and Dedham Vale, better known as Constable country. Rye Farm provides an excellent base for exploring.
