The Old Stables, Near Alkham

Looking across woodland (a sea of bluebells come late Spring!) and the owner’s vineyard just beyond, you are set in a beautiful countryside location. There are some fantastic walks to be had right from the cottage with the critically acclaimed Marquis restaurant and Alkham village just a mile away. The cottage has been tastefully furnished to a contemporary quality finish. There is a shared terrace and lawn outdoor space with outdoor furniture as well as an additional private seating area.

Plenty of dining and lounge seating space. The master bedroom includes a king size double bed as well as an ensuite shower room with his and hers basins, WC and shower.

The Location

The countryside offers plenty of opportunity for walkers and pets, with public footpaths covering the surrounding area immediately from the property. Enjoy access to the neighbouring vineyard and feel free to get stuck in at harvest time in the autumn!
