About this property

Stapleford Farm Cottages

The three individual cottages at Stapleford Farm are perfect for accommodating large families or groups and provide an ideal setting for gathering everyone together for a special occasion or holiday. The largest cottage, Drackenorth Lodge features a stunning dining hall which is perfect for entertaining, seating up to twenty guests and has a well equipped kitchen and everything one would need when catering for a special event. The accommodation also includes four en-suite bedrooms for eight guests including two double bedrooms on the ground floor and both a double and a twin bedroom on the first floor. A striking staircase with spectacular chandelier leads you to the first floor where you will find a large open-plan sitting room and galleried landing.

Bower Cottage comfortably accommodates eight guests also and features its own large open-plan sitting/kitchen and dining room. The accommodation which is all ground floor includes two en-suite double bedrooms, one twin bedroom and one double bedroom with a shared family bathroom.

The smaller Tothery Cottage has all ground floor accommodation for four guests and is part open-plan, including a kitchen/dining room, one double and one twin bedroom with a stylish family bath and shower room.

The cottages, whilst offering their own stylish and comfortable accommodation and individual garden areas, are in close proximity to each other and when occupied collectively make a perfect setting for a large group.

Superb venue
Celebrating a 70th with friends and family and couldn’t have chosen a better venue. Excellent accommodation, well equipped kitchens and beautiful surroundings. We all had an amazing weekend and would return in a heartbeat for any other celebrations.

Family weekend away
Beautiful property, inside and out. It was perfect for three families, for a pre-xmas get together It looks newly refurbished, all soft furnishings, linen, towels of lovely quality. House spotlessly clean, very well appointed and host very helpful. Highly recommend

Perfect Family retreat
We stayed here for a big family birthday long weekend celebration. The house was immaculately finished and really well equipped. We spent a long time looking for somewhere that had a dining table big enough to seat 16+ people together and this was perfect. There are several living spaces for everyone to spread out as well as outside seating when the weather is nice. Lots of parking and beautiful surrounding countryside. Communication with Bridget was seamless. Highly recommend this property.

Another great stay at Stapleford Farm
Booked a long weekend at Stapleford Farm for a getaway with family, and for the second year in a row, the propriety and location didn't disappoint. Really well appointed and spacious accommodation in a beautiful rural spot.

Wonderful stay for a family get-together
The property exceeded my expectations, everything was very well thought out and had anything we needed on site. We had the 3 x barns which made it very comfortable for everyone to have space and then had the main dining room space for the evenings which was perfect! Would definitely recommend and even stay there again.

Celebration of a ‘big’ birthday!
We were delighted with the very spacious accommodation of the highest standard. Plenty of room for the wide age range of children we had, to run about and play. Also the children enjoyed a range of puzzles games books left in the accommodation. The huge tv screen was a hit and large relaxation areas . We could all be quite independent of each other if we wanted. The generous ‘welcome pack’ was most welcome and enjoyed. A fabulous holiday enjoyed by all! One thing, we did initially find it hard to find and drove around in circles. A thick hedge was covering one signpost to the farm!

Perfect
Our group was a gathering of long standing friends (known each other nearly 40 years) who get together once a year. In the early years, we booked a whole youth hostel and took all the children. Now we are all older, (and better off!) and everyone likes to have their own bathroom, we have upgraded our annual get together to a holiday house hire. Stapleford Farm, was just right for us (not easy finding properties with enough bathrooms/en suites). We felt very well looked after and loved it
