About this property

Riding Stable - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

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.

Great location, well appointed cottage, beautiful surroundings.

The Rising Stables was absolutely perfect for a stay with our 2 children plus elderly parents. Great location for days out both at the seaside and the Norfolk Broads and the local wildlife walk was incredible with a huge variety of wildflowers and wildlife. I hope we will be able to go back one day. We all loved it!

A nice house in a quiet area

After a nice stay in Bolt Hole we left for the Riding Stable. A nice house in a beautiful place with lots of space for the 2 of us. We often had breakfast in the morning sun and cycled a lot in the beautiful surroundings. And not to forget, thanks for the delicious and nice welcome package!

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

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.

We keep coming back again and again

I think this must have been our 18th holiday at Rookery Farm? Its perfectly located for the best the area has to offer, less than 10 mins from Holt with its lovely shops, around 10 mins to Cromer for the food shop and around the same to West Runton which has the best beach for sand castles to the right and rock pooling to the left. The property is spacious, well equipped and best of all quiet. The garden is dog escape proof and there are many many places to walk your dogs in the area (Felbrig being our favourite). We had an issue with a gate not closing and within an hour a very nice chap came and fixed it. Can't fault rookery farm for a family holiday.

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.

Great cottage in superb location

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.

Hello Karen Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review. Your feed back is very important to us and helps us to maintain the standard of the barn. I will certainly pass the comments on to the housekeepers who I am sure will be devastated to hear they had missed the washing machine. Jamie the property manager will check out the musty smell. Just to let you know he would have been round to check it out had you contacted him while you were there. His number is on the information sheet on the wall. Apart from these two issues, I am p;eased to hear that you enjoyed the cottage and its surroundings. I do hope you return soon.

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.

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 .

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.

Hello Michael Thank you for your review and feedback. Your comments are very important and help us to maintain a high standard. I will certainly pass them on to the owner and the property manager.

Needs some updating.

We had no heating until day before departure owner supplied us with portable heater.door mat by back door would help floor.

Hello Graham So pleased you chose to stay at The Riding Stable again and very very sorry to hear that you had problems this time with the heating. I understand that you spoke to the owner about this during your stay and that he provided you with an additional heater. The problem is being sorted and we do appreciate the fact that you let us know. Thank you for also pointing out that a door mat would be helpful. I will certainly pass this this on to the owner and the property manager. I hope you were not inconvenienced too much and that you return again soon.

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.

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 July 2022
Hello Ralph Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We welcome all feedback. I am sorry to hear that you found the cottage pokey. I am surprised as the total floor space of the cottage is 101 sq mtr which isn't necessarily small. I notice you had to ask for a teapot, I assume our on hand property manager sorted that for you straight away. The wet room is a wet room and will become wet during use and for a little while after. I am sorry if this caused you inconvenience. I am also disappointed to hear that the garden was scruffy and uninviting. I will certainly pass this onto the property manager to investigate. Its good to hear that at least you found the beds comfortable. Many thanks

Beautiful surrounds, stunning interior, private garden for child/pet- perfect stay for wedding

We booked the Riding Stable for immediate family to come and join us for my daughter’s wedding. The site is beautiful and quiet - and they could bring the family dog (and niece!) The private garden was spacious, well kept and child and pet secure, and there was also a big communal garden we could all spread out into! Inside the Riding Stable was gorgeous - I heard a lot of “wows” as relatives came in - and the ground floor was beautifully designed to be comfortable for all those staying with lots of sofas, a big family table, bi-folding doors to the private garden and a well equipped kitchen with plenty of pans, serving bowls and extra plates etc. The stable was spotless and supplied a cot, high chair and even a little step for the toilet (genius!). All of the staff were friendly and helpful. - although as everything was there that we could possibly have needed the only question we had was where was a great pub for supper preferably on the salt marshes! I’m so glad I booked the Riding Stable as well as the Work Shop as my husband and i could stay with our grown up children and bride and groom whilst my mother, sister's children and son in law with baby had their own space - but both places large enough to drop into for coffee/supper. It made a special weekend absolutely perfect. Thank you! Deborah

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Aug 2022
Hello Janet Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review. Who wouldn't want to stay at Rookery Farm? I am pleased to hear how your son enjoyed having the patio doors leading into the courtyard from his bedroom. Such a treat. We are very lucky having Jamie the site manager who is always on hand. We do hope you and your family will visit us again soon. Of course you don't have to book the whole place if you want to return with a smaller group.

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jan 2023
Hello Denise Thank you for your review. All feedback is very important to us. I am sorry to hear that you had a problem with one of the radiators. All our cottages have a designated local property manager whose contact details are made available to you. The check in and check out times are in place because of the high demand for cleaners however we do always try to be flexible upon request wherever possible. I am pleased to see that you have booked again for next year and I am sorting out a good price for a couple of additional nights that you would like to stay.
