    We had everything we needed including everything for our 7 month old, he loved the toys provided. The Barn is situated in beautiful surroundings and close to Colchester. The weather was pretty warm when we stayed but the house kept relatively cool which was good with a little one. It has an under cover area outside that gave us extra space to use out of the sun, but would also be great if the weather was wet especially with children somewhere to play. And with the table tennis table there. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again if we come back to Colchester.
