The Stables Cottage is a recently refurbished 17th century stable block with its own entrance. It is one of two properties for rent which face into Hall Farm’s beautiful courtyard and is in a quiet central village location. The cottage provides stylish, comfortable living with a backdrop of oak beams and ancient stone. King’s Cliffe is Northamptonshire’s best kept secret. Peaceful walks, cycling, bird-watching or historic local market towns to visit, including Stamford, Oundle and Empingham.
We have lived at Hall Farm for over seventeen years and returned here with a young family after living in Australia for a short period. Geoff was working in the water industry and Sarah was doing a fine art scholarship. Since coming back and while the family has been growing up, we have spent an enormous amount of time and energy renovating and developing the property to what it is today. Our first guests came in 2006 when we started with one bed and breakfast room. Now there are three self-catering properties and looking back it has been quite a journey! We feel very lucky to have been part of this amazing place’s history and hope that our guests will get real pleasure staying here.
Our location is great for exploring the outdoors. There are many scenic footpaths accessible from your door. Fineshade Woods, Grounds Cafe and the Jurassic Way are easily reached on foot from Kings Cliffe. They offer easy, short or long walks, many with circular routes and the opportunity to stop at local village pubs such as Apethorpe, Bulwick or Woodnewton. Another way of exploring our area is by bicycle. We are blessed with a myriad of on and off-road tracks. Fineshade Woods in particular has designated xc bike trails or alternatively you could bike to a historic beauty spot such as Fotheringhay Castle Mound, Seaton viaduct or Deene Hall. We have maps in all the properties to help you choose the best routes. Shopping-wise, Kings Cliffe has a small general store, greengrocers, bakery, café and pub. Nearby, and only fifteen minutes drive away in each direction, are the attractive market towns Stamford, Oundle, Uppingham and Oakham. They are all a joy to visit and have plenty of foodie pubs, cafes, fine dining, markets antique shops and other curiosities. Cambridge is only a 40 minute drive. Burghley House, Belvoir Castle, and Barnsdale Gardens are also close.
