The Manor Stables

The historic stables were built around 1900, and sit in the incredible surroundings of the Manor House, Hinton St Mary. Never before has the family allowed visitors to stay in these historical surroundings. Steeped in history and English beauty, this refurbishment has been done to the highest standard. Modern kitchen and bathroom. Wood burner for cosy fireside relaxation. This is a totally unique house being done up to a very high spec. Super fast internet and a beautiful outdoor space makes it the perfect lock down escape. The main bedroom can either be a super king size or two singles, and the second bedroom can either be a king size or two singles. The bathroom consists of a bath and overhead shower. The kitchen is fully equipped (please note there is no washing machine). The living room has a wood burner, large tv and is well furnished. There is also a good size dining area.

You can join the Trailway in Sturminster Newton and walk/cycle to the Fiddleford, it is not far, half an hour walk from the end of the trailway and it is super friendly. There is access to fantastic walks along the river stour and cycling along the north Dorset trailway which runs for 18 miles from Sturminster newton to Blandford. Olympic horse rider William Fox Pitt has his stables in the village so horses are often seen being exercised around the lanes.
