Surrounded by open paddocks and rolling countryside, The Homestead offers a unique escape where wide-open views, roaming horses, and generous spaces come together to create a memorable stay for larger groups.

Perfect for celebrations, reunions, and family gatherings, this spacious country house comfortably accommodates up to 17 guests across five bedrooms and three floors. Designed with flexibility in mind, the sleeping arrangements include a mix of doubles, twins, family rooms, and a large dormitory-style attic room, making it ideal for multi-generational holidays with lots of children in tow!

Gather around the dining table for long breakfasts and sociable dinners, relax beside one of the two log burners, or settle into the comfortable sitting room after a day spent exploring the surrounding countryside. Outside, a spacious terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and barbecues, best enjoyed as the sun sets over the paddocks. Wildlife is a regular visitor, with the neighbouring horses adding a distinctive charm that makes a stay here feel wonderfully different from a traditional countryside retreat.

One of The Homestead's most special features is its connection to the stable yard community on the estate. Guests are welcome to meet the owners' friendly horses by arrangement, offering a memorable experience for animal lovers of all ages. For those keen to spend even more time in the saddle, a riding school is located less than a mile away, with riding experiences available nearby – please enquire with us for more details.

For even larger gatherings, The Homestead can be paired with a neighbouring accommodation on the estate (please see The Chestnuts, sleeping 21), creating an exceptional base for extended family celebrations and special occasions.
