Set in just under three acres of tranquil surroundings, Manor Stables began its life as accommodation to Sybil Seal and Moonshine, the horses belonging to Manor Farm, once forming part of the Ancaster Estate – now occupied by the owners. You are welcome to stretch your legs and roam at will around the grounds and paddock path with its many trees and views of Haconby’s medieval church and perch on one of the number of strategically placed garden seats should you deem anything worthy of a pause.

Separate entrance to Manor Stables is enjoyed over a small patio area with table and chairs where you can sit and enjoy fresh free range eggs for breakfast or sit and have a drink in the evening.

Once inside, the carefully chosen antiques effortlessly combine with a muted backdrop and sumptuous furnishings to create a luxury self-catering home stay you’ll be reluctant to leave. The accommodation is all on the ground floor with south facing views across open countryside. Coat hooks and shoe box are provided just inside the entrance door.

Tumble dryer,ironing board and iron are available for use.
Off the kitchen is the living room with French doors. Watch the TV or DVD player from the comfortable sofa or simply enjoy the cosy atmosphere created by the dancing flames of the Clearview Wood burning stove.

The perfect cottage for a relaxing break
Our week in Mandy and Tom's cottage was perfect from beginning to end. A friendly welcome on our arrival and the reassurance that they were there if we needed any help with anything; we didn't, everything has already been thought of to let you settle in straight away. The bedroom and living room were decorated traditionally with a more modern bathroom and kitchen, all of which were laid out ideally for my wife who has mobility issues. Last of all, Haconby and the surrounding area is a beautiful part of the country and we had a great time visiting Bourne and other villages and towns.

Gorgeous English Countryside Vacation
The Manor Stables was absolutely stunning. Beautiful cottage as well as even more stunning location. The church nearby was lovely to walk by, the field next to the cottage held a few darling sheep’s, and then beyond that a breathtaking view of field and public footpaths around; as well as so much to explore around the area. Mandy and Tom were absolutely lovely and extremely helpful, and some of the friendliest people I’ve met. My fiancé and I are definitely planning on coming around again soon, as our visit there was just perfect.

Beautiful cottage in the country
This place was perfect from the moment you drive up to the moment you step in to the property. It was lovely meeting Tom who was very friendly and showed us round when we first arrived. There are lots of countryside walks from the moment you step out the door which was great for our little dog. There is also a really lovely welcoming pub just a stone throw away. Thanks for a lovely stay Mandy and Tom we will definitely be visiting again.

A very special place to stay
We really enjoyed our week at Manor Stables. The cottage is peaceful, comfortable and cosy, beautifully furnished and superbly equipped. Little corners outside for catching the sun were lovely.....we were blessed with sunshine every day! Freedom to wander round the meadow ,fields and the village from the door was wonderful. Watching the dragonflies at the pond was special! Thanks, Mandy, for recommending Grimsthorpe....we had a fantastic day there!
