The Riding Stable has a sitting/dining area with bifold doors which open right out into the private walled garden. There is a fully equipped kitchen with washer/dryer facilities. The property benefits from central heating fuelled by our biomass boiler. There is one double bedroom on the ground floor with french doors which open out into the central communal garden courtyard (the old farmyard). Also on the ground floor adjacent to the bedroom is a walk in shower/bathroom. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms (1 super king and 1 twin room) with a shared bathroom in between. There are stair gates at the top and bottom of the stair case and we can provide a cot and high chair if required.
The Riding Stable sits in a quiet rural location on the edge of a small north Norfolk village, just 2.5 miles inland from the beautiful coast. The property is equidistant between the charming Georgian market town of Holt and the bustling seaside resort of Sheringham.

Excellent and comfortable holiday
The Riding Stable was an excellent and comfortable holiday accommodation - well supplied with everything you needed
The location was very good, being fairly close to the beach and several coastal towns
It was our second year of staying there and we would highly recommend it

A brief but enjoyable stay
Very enjoyable stay at this lovely property. Very comfortable and clean and well presented with a lovely gift on arrival. Surprised that we were expected to empty bins and strip beds - haven’t come across that before. Also the shower curtain in the downstairs bathroom needs to drop to the floor as when someone showers the whole floor gets wet (which is ok for a wet room, but not when it’s the main bathroom). But they didn’t detract from a good experience.

A great place to stay
We found the Rookery an excellent place to stay
It was so comfortable with all the facilities that we needed. And warm for the colder days. And so quiet
The location was so good for all the local places - beaches, towns and National Trust
It was just right for our dog especially with the garden. And the parking was so easy
The welcome pack was such a lovely thiught and much appreciated

Lovely property
Lovely property in a great location for walking the North Norfolk coastal path and visiting towns and villages in the area. Very spacious with small enclosed garden which was very suitable for our three dogs opening off the open plan living area.Very comfortable beds. Plenty of parking space outside and within half a mile walking distance in either direction of two local pubs. Loads of good eateries in the area with a special shout out to the Wheatsheaf in West Beckham and further afield the Ship in Weybourne and the Dun Cow in Salthouse ( although parking limited at the last two in busy times) . We had a lovely stay in this property with a week of glorious weather too .

Great location and facilities but dirty.
Great facilities and location with everything we needed but sadly it wasn’t clean. Dust/grime behind beds, under curtains and sofa. With a crawling baby in our party we didn’t feel we could put him on the floor.
What a shame.

A lovely relaxing spot
Chosen as we had a disabled member of the family with us, we found the rooms spacious and the downstairs bedroom and wet room were great, the only slight niggle would be hand rails in wet room would be great.
Close to plenty of places of interest and a lovely place to come back to each evening.

Long weekend break
Even though the weather was awful we really enjoyed our stay at the Riding Stable. It is perfect if you are traveling with a dog as all hard flooring downstairs. Beds are really comfortable, Kitchen is well equipped and shower works well - though the curtain could be a bit longer! Would recommend this property and we would really love to come back.

Our stay at The riding stable was so relaxing ,didn't want to come home. !!
Had had a lovely break .excellent location in a beautiful comfortable well equipped cottage.back soon.
Loved this dog friendly cottage with the downstairs bedroom and wet room which worked well for our disabled family member.
Great to have a secure garden and both garden and courtyard were immaculately kept.
One negative was the musty smell coming from the understairs cupboard and the dirty washing machine drawer.....one for the cleaners rather than the owner.

A shame
It was a shame we had a rather late arrival time and then a very early departure time. Sad to say one of the radiators didn't work and with extreme weather conditions it would have improved the stay.

Could be cleaner. Probably not worth the expensive price
Didn't find the property to a high clean standard. The windows and blinds were very grubby. One blind had a dead spider stuck to it that had clearly been there a while. Old receipts were found under the bed. We asked for both bedrooms upstairs to be singles, one was left as a double. Luckily my two teenage nieces agreed to share a bed. I know dogs are allowed in the property but the sofas werent clean and we found a lot of black dogs hairs. Also seeing as the property is for 6 people there isnt enough sofa space for 6 people to sit comfortably. There needs to be a mat inside by the back door seeing as this is the main entrance to the car. When wet outside and stepping inside it is very slippery. The property wasn't horrendous by any means, but it is very expensive for what it is and i wouldn't stay again or recommend to others.

Excellent accomodation in a pleasant and well kept setting.
I booked all the barns at Rookery Farm. The attraction being that they were grouped together around a courtyard and provided very comfortable accomodation for a large family group plus two dogs. Each barn had its' own garden so that each group could have some private space when required. My sister-in-law, her partner, one of my sons and his fiancee stayed in The Riding Stable. My son particularly enjoyed the downstairs bedroom with the patio doors opening out onto the courtyard.The barns were well equiped and met all our requirements. The furniture was in good condition and as one would expect from continual use by families and dogs. We were able to use the Long Barn for evening meals altogether. There was plenty of room for cars to park and easy access to the Riding Stable with luggage etc.
The site manager was very helpful and visited the site each day. The bed linen and towels were excellent. We had a really good stay and lots of celebrations as it was my husband's 70th birthday.

Rather pokey
We found it rather pokey and only 5 comfortable seats. Had to ask for equipment, ie teapot.
Wet room shower meant you had to walk through water to reach toilet or hand basin as the room was so small, or put towels on floor.
The garden was scruffy and uninviting.
Beds were comfortable.

A week at Rookery Farm
We had a good week at the Riding Stable, whilst the cottage was reasonably clean the place is looking somewhat tired and is in need of some updating and refurbishment. We were awakened by the alarm sounding on several nights and eventually the internet died. Having said this we did have a fantastic time and would recommend it.

Riding stable
Lovely place grounds and gardens.
Very nice inside lovely rooms and small coal space. We had a great stay.
A couple of small improvements are suggested such as a rug for the living area. Also a new shower curtain and descale the shower head and kettle.

Short stay
Good location, nice comfortable property, well stocked with equipment and easy access. We were only a party of four so we had no issues but we would have been short of comfy chairs if we there had been six of us. We will be returning.
