Bed & Breakfast Accommodation in Essex, on the Suffolk Border.

17th century farmhouse with log fires, a quiet peaceful location set in 2 acres of landscaped gardens, surrounded by farmland. Plenty of good local pubs and gourmet food within 5 miles. Because of the fire risk we would kindly ask guests not to smoke. French is spoken.


Ollivers farm is located on the Essex-Suffolk borders. It is a medieval farmhouse set back from the road surrounded by farmland with glorious views over the surrounding Essex countryside.

From November 2003 another single room will be available.
