Back in Thyme is featured here on The Tourist Trail.

Availability & Book Online

This is a self contained newly opened shepherds hut, with patio area, hot tub and parking located in the grounds of a 23 acre rural farm with alpacas, horses, Pygmy goats, chickens and peacocks situated right beside Essex Way.

Unfortunately this is not one of our properties that is suitable for pets or children.

Guests are welcome to walk around the farm but we ask them NOT to enter paddocks that are padlocked. We also ask the guest not to feed the horses or donkeys due to strict diets. However we do have an honesty box full of other animal food and fresh farm eggs.

Smoking is allowed in garden area please use the ashtray provided.

Please DO NOT wear fake tan if you are planning to use the hot tub during your stay. We understand this is Essex and we love looking glamorous and sun kissed, but the hot tubs will be damaged. If the water is discoloured/green after your stay, you will be charged £80 for the inconvenience caused and for the hot tub to be professionally cleaned. Thank you for your understanding.

No parties allowed or groups of people. Music must be kept to a minimum as we have animals/other guests staying on the farm grounds. This will not be tolerated.

Our check in time is usually 4pm as we give ourselves a larger window to rectify any hot tub or property issues from the previous guests.

Our check out time is 10am unless otherwise arranged.

I relaxed and recharged here. Great to have everything we needed. Being in the field with the animals and nature was lovely! Hot tub was great 🙂
