Opened in 2007, and fitted with a wide range of modern facilities, Stour Valley Bunkhouse is set in peaceful surroundings on an historic 1000 acre working farm, an ideal base for exploring Constable Country.
Close to the Stour Estuary, there are excellent opportunities for bird watching, walking and cycling on the doorstep. Alton Water is only 3 miles away for sailing and windsurfing. Ipswich is 6 miles away.
For children of all ages there is a huge choice of local attractions, such as Jimmy’s Farm or Colchester Castle. Colchester Zoo and Sutton Hoo are good options for a wet day, and there are excellent beaches at Dovercourt, Frinton and Walton.
The bunkhouse sleeps up to 20 in 5 rooms. It is self catering, with a shop and pub within a mile.
The bunkhouse is unsuitable for stag parties or groups that are likely to be very noisy or drink heavily.

As well as an amazing range of birds on the Stour Estuary just 5 minutes away, we also have a barn owl that can be seen hunting on the field beside the bunkhouse from teatime most days - wonderful birdlife almost on the doorstep!
