If you're looking for a peaceful retreat in the country, then this converted barn set on a working farm is the perfect choice. Its high ceilings and modern design make it a stylish place to unwind after busy days traversing the local area – whether you're snuggled up by the sleek log burner or preparing a delicious supper using the owners' local produce (supplied for an additional fee), you'll be left entirely undisturbed here. Of course, you will need a car or bike to get to the nearby villages, such as Saffron Walden, Bishops Stortford and Rayne, but with acres of space around you, there's plenty of parking.

Home truths:
*Due to the location, you will need a car to get around. There's private parking outside of the house.
*The garden is a communal area, shared with residents of the two neighbouring homes.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*Sadly, as it's a working farm, no pets are allowed at this home.
*Please note the wifi connection here is not suitable for remote workers.
*A minimum three-night stay is required here.
