Completely refurbished into early 2026, The Old Stables has been transformed from the ground up. Original features, including exposed stone walls and oak beams, have been carefully retained and celebrated, complemented by a warm, contemporary interior.

Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, while the private driveway provides dedicated parking and a secure entrance separate from the main house. The enclosed walled garden is a peaceful space for morning coffee, long lunches and outdoor dining on summer evenings.

The gym offers a dedicated space to move at your own pace during your stay. Equipped with weights and training equipment, it's designed for everything from a quiet early morning workout to a more focused session, available whenever you choose, entirely at your leisure.
