Layer Marney Tower

Staying at Layer Marney Tower

Layer Marney Tower is a working farm near Colchester in Essex, run by Sheila and Nick. It has 6 canvas lodges, so there are only a handful of families on site at once. Children can meet the chickens, goats, lambs and dogs.

Like every Feather Down farm, there's no electricity or wifi in the lodges: you cook on the wood-burning stove, light the evenings with oil lamps and candles, and have your own toilet. Lodges here have a private outdoor hot shower. Some lodges come with a private hot tub.
