The Old Stables Retreat

The Space

Perfect for a romantic getaway or a small family holiday with a difference, this is a delightful, totally self-contained, self-catering space, with a large fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen has a large Lacanche Cluny dual Fuel Cooker. This is pretty much the classic farmhouse kitchen, again with high, beamed ceiling, big double Belfast sink, terracotta tiled floor and huge Welsh Dresser. The master bedroom has what is possibly the most comfortable superking bed on the planet. While I appreciate that this might be a slight exaggeration, it really is a key feature of staying here. The bedlinen and towels etc. are almost all from White Company and so our guests get that special touch of luxury in a quiet, stunning rural location. There is a big powerful shower with a large shower rose, & two loos, hence the 1/2 bathrooms under the listing details.

In between the big bedroom and an even larger sitting room is an open plan 'snug' with a charming, extremely comfortable antique 'sleigh' bed which measures 6 ft x 3ft 6 inches. Perfect for anyone of 'normal' height. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SNUG DOES NOT HAVE ITS OWN BATHROOM FACILITIES WHICH ARE SHARED WITH THE MASTER BEDROOM. From here, you come into the large sitting room with its original beams and timber tongue & groove ceiling. A wood burner as well as central heating. There is a huge television and wireless internet connection, two shabby chic Knowle sofas and an armchair. A thick Indian rug on top of sisal flooring. This room, in turn, opens onto the kitchen described above. There are two sets of French doors which lead from these rooms out to a large area of grass surrounded by Olive trees, vines, roses and other plants, and access to our Farm Shop.

Guest Access

All the internal space described above is excusively for the use of our guests. Depending on the season the outside space may be used by a few other visitors during the day, but will normally be exclusivley yours in the evenings. This is a working family farm, but we don't normally make much noise. You have your own parking space close by.

Guest Interaction

Members of the family are normally around as are members of the Northfield Farm team. We are a friendly bunch and will do everything we can to make your stay a great and memorable experience. This includes, if you wish to know, explaining how we farm and introducing you to our animals. We can also arrange courses on a wide range of food and farming related subjects. Should these be of interest, please ask.

If you wish to cook for yourselves here we recommend that you consider shopping at our farmshop either once you arrive or in advance on-line.

Other Things To Note

We provide you with the ingredients for a cooked breakfast on your first morning, namely milk, sausage, bacon & eggs with our compliments. Tea bags & instant coffee are also provided. Just bear in mind that this is a working farm. Although not especially noisy, there may be tractors driving past, especially at harvest time. We have dogs and cats around though they do not come into guests accommodation.

Location

The farm is located in a rural location so own transport is essential. We have no close neighbours. We are located up a small lane off the main Oakham to Melton Mowbray road. Our location is a rare slice of classic stunning British countryside, only two hours drive North of London, less if you come by train. Nearest train stations are at Oakham & Melton Mowbray. There is an almost endless choice of activities for all ages and inclinations nearby. Walking and cycling around Rutland Water and of course, sailing & fishing. Exploring local towns and villages. Great restaurants and pubs in towns and villages. Livestock markets, antiques auctions, hotels and spas. Also if the rural idyll becomes a bit too much we have an array of cities within less than an hour by car or train. For true foodies we have Michelin Starred Hambleton Hall, Stapleford Park, The Olive Branch, King's Arms, and Fox & Hounds all nearby.

Transport

I would not recommend that you rely on public transport so really a car, motorbike or bicycle are needed for you to get around. If you really only want to stay within walking distance though, you could get a taxi here or we should be able to arrange transport.
