Overview

Two converted horse cottages on a working livery yard in Thetford

Accommodation

The Old Stables Cottages consist of two self-catering holiday homes: The Old Stables and The Old Dairy. Each cottage includes a fully equipped kitchen, a private bathroom, and a separate living area. The property provides free on-site private parking and an enclosed outdoor seating area, with the working livery yard's horses as immediate neighbors. Both cottages have received high guest ratings for their historic conversion and facilities.

Amenities

The cottages offer free WiFi, heating, and non-smoking rooms throughout. Guests receive a starter pack of milk, juice, butter, and jam, with dog treats and a towel provided for canine visitors. A washing machine and dishwasher are available in each unit, and outdoor furniture is set in a private courtyard. The property has CCTV outside, smoke alarms, and key access for security.
