Dairy House is a 700 acre arable and fruit farm. The house is set in the middle with views of the countryside in every direction. The farmhouse was extended in 1876 into a wonderfully spacious home with large rooms and many typical Victorian ornamentations.

Alan and Bridget Whitworth have lived here with their family for over 20 years and have really enjoyed developing their home. They are delighted to be able to offer elegant, comfortable accommodation and friendly care to their guests from both the British Isles and overseas.

The kettle is always on the boil and there is tea with homemade cakes on arrival and homemade preserves on the breakfast table.

Although the house has a completely rural setting, it is just a twenty minute stroll to an excellent pub and shop in the village of Bradfield. We are also just one hour by train to London (Liverpool Street) from Manningtree Station (5 miles from here).

Dairy House has a cosy guests' sitting room with colour television and a cupboard full of games, as well as a large garden which visitors are welcome to relax in.

Tea/Coffee trays are in the bedrooms as well as remote control television clock-radios, and hairdryer. Ironing facilities and a hairdryer are always available.

For the benefit of all our guests, please do not smoke in the house.
