Positioned in a tranquil and totally private setting, Stables Cottage is a beautifully converted former stable yard located on a working farm, set in 80 acres of grassland and woodland. The open-plan living space includes a large bespoke country kitchen, with a sociable breakfast bar, leading into the cosy sitting room with a wood burning stove and dining area.

The flat screen television offers smooth connectivity for Netflix and other services. Outside, enjoy the garden with its sun deck, garden furniture and barbecue. After a hearty breakfast, pull on your boots and explore the very special woodland walk. You will be amazed by the flora, fauna and simple beauty of a wood that has been hardly touched for hundreds of years. Listen out for woodpeckers and watch buzzards and red-kites soaring above you. Various deer and badgers make their homes around the farm. Bluebells, wild garlic, primroses and other wild flowers carpet the floor of the wood amongst ferns and mossy boughs of fallen trees. See how hazel stems have been coppiced for hundreds of years to supply traditional crafts and industries such as hedge-laying and charcoal making. After an enjoyable day outdoors, you can relax and unwind in the cosy sitting room or play a board game before dinner. When it's time for bed, there are three very comfortable and beautifully decorated en-suite bedrooms, two of which enjoy super-king size beds that can be converted into twin singles on request. The master bedroom with its sumptuous king-size bed also enjoys a bath with overhead shower in its en-suite bathroom. With all that countryside fresh air you will be guaranteed a good night's sleep.

Outside, there is plenty of space for you and your dog to exercise and lovely traffic-free lanes and footpaths.
Six of us had a fantastic weekend here - we were very comfortable and the place was well kitted out. The beds were all made up as doubles for us which was great, we hadn’t realised we had that option. It was lovely having farmyard animals to visit, and we did a great cross country walk to a local pub. Would highly recommend.
