The Stables

The Stables, Manor Farm Holiday Cottages, north Norfolk

Sleeps 6 (3 bedrooms)

This characterful cottage with its large solid oak beams and rafters once housed the horses that worked the land and helped deliver the milk to village.

Hay, used to feed the horses was kept in the loft (now first floor). In addition, there was a very basic but plastered room at the end of the building where the stable-hand would have lived.

Today, the spacious, comfortable building provides luxurious accommodation for up to 6 guests.

You will find:

  • One double ensuite bedroom with a kingsize bed
  • Two bedrooms with twin beds
  • Bathroom with bath/shower/loo
  • Large open-plan kitchen, sitting/dining room
  • Well-equipped kitchen with a range of modern appliances
  • Separate loo downstairs
  • Mezzanine/gallery overlooking dining/kitchen area

No pets are allowed in this cottage.

High standards of comfort and convenience throughout

Designs for The Stables conversion were prepared by a local architect, who has achieved high standards of comfort and convenience throughout while carefully retaining many original features. Conversion work was carried out by two local craftsmen, both of whom were brought up and still live in the village.

"We hardly used the car, the walk into Cromer (in particular) is easy and can be done along the beach depending on the tide; or do the circular walk to West Runton and return via the cliff top or beach (again, tide dependent). We’ve spent most of the last 20 years coming to Norfolk (at least twice a year), so it’s safe to say we’ll be back!"

- The Robinsons (Leicestershire) and Rowley the Pug
"Our short break has been blessed with sunny blue skies every day, so we have made the most of being outdoors, walking and enjoying the sea and coastline.
