The Cottages at Stainsborough Hall
The five individual cottages are located around a dedicated courtyard and have either two or three bedrooms. Each cottage has its own front and back door, and a separate outdoor seating area - so you are isolated from any other guests.
Once inside, the clever design makes it feel like you are in your own world and they are very well insulated so you won't even know anyone else is there.
Our cottages have recently been renovated and reconfigured, please take a look at our floor plans!
