Rye Farm

We now have four self-catering apartments. Each offers a high standard of comfortable accommodation and is comprehensively equipped. The Courtyard sleeps up to 4 people. The other three apartments are in a building tastefully converted from the farm's former 17th-century cart lodge. For information on facilities and prices go to the Self-Catering Accommodation page. From there you will find links to pages describing each individual apartment, its facilities, furnishings and equipment together with pictures of the interiors.

We have made the decision not to be accredited by VisitEngland. However, we pride ourselves on still providing the same four-star accommodation and service to our guests, as we have done for many years. We also continue to serve good quality, locally sourced, farmhouse breakfasts.

The village of Layer de la Haye is about ten minutes walk from the farm. The village has a shop selling newspapers, bread, milk, alcohol and a limited range of groceries. Also in the village are two pubs which serve food. The Layer Fox is near the shop and so within walking distance. Donkey & Buskins is further away and going by car is recommended. An excellent choice of eating and shopping options can be found in Colchester, less than 4 miles away.
