Accomodation
If you would like accommodation during the courses, here is a list of B&Bs that are within a reasonable distance of Assington. Please make separate arrangements with the owners of the establishments listed below.
ASSINGTON MILL
We have one double bedroom and one twin-bedded room available in the house for B&B. £30 per person per night. This is our family home so we regret we are unable to accept dogs or smokers.
Please note that there are no ATMs within 6 miles, but the farm shop in the village will do cashback if you spend a certain amount. We get all our food for the courses there; no need to go anywhere else. PETROL available at Boxford (3 miles) or at Colchester (10m) or Sudbury (6).
MILL COTTAGE: the cottage is part of the former mill building, overlooking the large millpond, and has been converted and is available for hire from May 2008. It sleeps two. Fishing available (trout, rudd, roach, bream). Well-behaved dogs welcome, but not smokers! This is a fabulous place to spend some time if you want real peace!

To book, contact Mark Scott on 01787 211115, email: mark@grove-cottages.co.uk, or www.cottage-agency.co.uk
CAMPING is also possible at Assington Mill. Toilet and shower available in a wetroom; kitchen with two hobs and urn also available. £5 per night. We are not a proper camp site; this is just a facility for people coming on the courses. You can camp anywhere you like on the farm.
