Arrive and park in the farm yard in the allocated area, and transport your belongings a short distance by wheelbarrow past the mill pond, through the trees to the the huts. Once in and unpacked, you can step down onto your own private dining area, enjoy a glass of wine, watch the sun set over the farm and enjoy the sounds of ducks on the mill pond and surrounding birdlife. If the weather is changeable you can light the log burner, get cosy and relax in the warm and luxurious accommodation. The Shepherds Hide is for adults only. No Pets.

Getting here
The postcode when put into the sat nav, CO7 8JJ will bring you to the centre of Brightlingsea Road. Keep travelling along the road and on the right hand side you will notice the houses stop and there is a hedge line. You will then see signs for Mill Farm, Thorrington Tide Mill and Hill Farm Landscapes on your right hand side. Turn right into the driveway and follow it all the way down to the bottom. Drive round past the Mill through the metal gate (not over the bridge and through the wooden gates), keeping the mill pond to your left hand side and The Granary (converted farm buildings) to your right. Drive on into the farm yard and park on the left, next to the green container. You will see a small green trailer for you to transport your belongings. The huts are located down a short track that starts just to the right of the chicken run. Mark and Polly can be found in The Granary converted Barns.
The nearest railway station is Alresford, exactly 2½ miles away. From here you'll have to grab a taxi or bus but if you are travelling light and feeling adventurous, you can walk along the Estuary straight to the huts which will take you around an hour.
