Set in a private wildlife garden in a rural location, offering unhampered views of the North Essex countryside and its stunning sunsets, The beautiful self-contained Dragonfly Shepherds Hut sleeps 2 and includes a private 5-seater Luxury Hot-Tub.
I am excited to start hosting guests at this beautiful location. I love nature, wildlife and a sunset and cant wait to share this with others looking to stay somewhere a bit unique.
I am a qualified mindfulness meditation practitioner so if you’re looking for something a bit different…Message me about a mindful retreat stay where you can relax and watch the sunsets and the stars while enjoying a private mindfulness meditation session. I can also provide concierge services so that you can tailor your stay to suit you and get everything booked for you.
Ask about our luxury food or toiletries basket to include locally sourced produce and I can have it ready for your arrival.
Great Bentley is a lovely quiet village location only 20 mins drive from Colchester and its wonderful Zoo. Surrounded by beautiful, traditional English villages, beaches and countryside, there is always something to do.
