Looking for something different and a unique home stay experience? This spacious and beautiful property is set in the grounds of the Watlington Estate which has recently been awarded best new tourism business in the east of England. With stunning walled gardens filled with flowers, fruit trees and a newly resurfaced tennis court, this large, detached property is approached through the old stable archway and overlooks a unique conservation project for endangered deer, antelope and birds, many of which can be seen over the garden wall.
The owners are passionate about conservation which makes The Stable Cottage a fascinating place to stay. As well as enjoying the beautiful property, you are offered a welcome tour in the morning after your arrival where you will be shown around the reserve and acquainted with your buggies which you are free to use whenever you like during your stay. You have the chance to encounter many rare species of deer, antelope, water buffalo and the extremely rare Great Bustard that became nationally extinct in 1832.
This large property is a great destination any time of the year and features spacious and relaxed living areas with an open fire, a stunning triple aspect garden room, perfect for dining with groups of friends or family and taking in the stunning setting. There are three bedrooms on the first floor as well as a ground floor bedroom and shower room. All have bathroom facilities, and there's a luxury four-poster in the master suite.
The village itself is easily reached from by train from London with a direct line accessible in just over an hour and a half with the option of guests being collected from the village railway station. So, you can leave your car at home and let the train take the strain.

Mrs W
Absolutely stunning house on an equally beautiful estate. Stable cottage had everything we needed, plus more, for our Christmas stay. Both tennis court & hot tub were used, but the most impressive & enjoyable activity was riding the electric golf buggies around Watatunga Wildlife Reserve. We’d happily return to Stable Cottage @ Watatunga very soon, and hope to do so.
