Is The Stable Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families

The Stable is designed for couples rather than families with children. The single bedroom and compact layout suit two adults seeking peace and quiet. The working farm setting requires constant supervision around livestock and machinery. There's no dedicated play equipment or child-friendly facilities. Older children who appreciate countryside walks might enjoy the rural location and farm animals.

Groups Will Love...

The exposed oak beams spanning The Stable's ceiling are the standout feature of this barn conversion. Original to the building's days as a working stable, these substantial timbers create an authentic agricultural atmosphere that modern builds simply cannot replicate. Combined with the stone walls and single-storey layout, the beams give the space real character whilst the wood-burning stove beneath adds warmth and cosiness.

Pet Friendly

The Stable does not accept pets due to its location on an active working farm with livestock. Sheep, cattle and other farm animals graze the surrounding fields, making it unsuitable for dogs. The farm environment also includes machinery and equipment that could pose risks. Whilst the countryside setting would otherwise be perfect for dog walking, the working farm operations mean pets cannot be accommodated during your stay.
