General information
The tent house offers everything you need for a relaxing stay. Inside you will find a spacious living area with a cozy sofa and a large dining table where you can gather with the whole family or friends. Do you hesitate between inside or outside? On the porch, you'll be sheltered under the awning, with a picnic table and lounge chairs for relaxing. Outside, enjoy a hot tub!
Fully equipped kitchen
Cooking becomes an adventure in itself! The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need: from pots and pans to cutting boards, cutlery and - very important - a cheese slicer, egg cups and a milk frother. You store your food in the fridge box with cooling elements, and for coffee you grind your own beans with the coffee grinder.
Sleep in a real bed
- A twoperson bed
- A box bed, perfect for one adult and one child
- A bunk bed
For extra comfort, luxuriously thick towels and bedding are waiting for you. So you'll sleep wonderfully under a fine comforter on a good mattress.
Private bathroom: hot water & a real toilet
No shared showers, just your own private shower with hot water right next to your tent. In addition, the tent house has a real flush toilet - so nice during your stay in nature.
With hot tub
Your wood-fired hot tub is exclusive for use during your stay and is located next to or near your canvas hideaway. Perfect for relaxing under the stars or relaxing during the day.
Adventurous and cozy: life without electricity
No electricity? That's what makes it extra special! The tent is attractively lit with oil lamps and candles, and cooking is done on the wood stove. There are logs ready to make it nice and warm and cozy. Do you dare?

My friend and I had an absolutely fantastic afternoon at Layer Marney Tower. In the beautiful barn - it looked magical ✨️- we had a lovely long, leisurely Christmas lunch whilst watching & listening to Dickens' A Christmas Carol presented by the players of Minty Spectre. I have very specific dietary requirements, and having liaised with the admin team beforehand, I was very well fed, with minimal fuss and - most importantly - 24 hours later, I'm healthy and well, with nothing but a great memory of a splendid day. Thanks to everyone who made this event so special.

I’ve lived in Essex for 23 years, and I have only just discovered Layer Marney last year and each visit has been exciting, informative and welcoming and I can’t wait to visit again.

Visited the lambs and tractor ride at Easter with the kids - wonderful outing. Good playground so the adults could have a cup of tea and a sit down outside the café too. Beautiful building and gardens.
