About this property

The three individual cottages at Stapleford Farm are perfect for accommodating large families or groups and provide an ideal setting for gathering everyone together for a special occasion or holiday. The largest cottage, Drackenorth Lodge features a stunning dining hall which is perfect for entertaining, seating up to twenty guests and has a well equipped kitchen and everything one would need when catering for a special event. The accommodation also includes four en-suite bedrooms for eight guests including two double bedrooms on the ground floor and both a double and a twin bedroom on the first floor. A striking staircase with spectacular chandelier leads you to the first floor where you will find a large open-plan sitting room and galleried landing.

Superb venue
Celebrating a 70th with friends and family and couldn’t have chosen a better venue. Excellent accommodation, well equipped kitchens and beautiful surroundings. We all had an amazing weekend and would return in a heartbeat for any other celebrations.

Family weekend away
Beautiful property, inside and out. It was perfect for three families, for a pre-xmas get together It looks newly refurbished, all soft furnishings, linen, towels of lovely quality. House spotlessly clean, very well appointed and host very helpful. Highly recommend

Perfect Family retreat
We stayed here for a big family birthday long weekend celebration. The house was immaculately finished and really well equipped. We spent a long time looking for somewhere that had a dining table big enough to seat 16+ people together and this was perfect. There are several living spaces for everyone to spread out as well as outside seating when the weather is nice. Lots of parking and beautiful surrounding countryside. Communication with Bridget was seamless. Highly recommend this property.

Another great stay at Stapleford Farm
Booked a long weekend at Stapleford Farm for a getaway with family, and for the second year in a row, the propriety and location didn't disappoint. Really well appointed and spacious accommodation in a beautiful rural spot.

Wonderful stay for a family get-together
The property exceeded my expectations, everything was very well thought out and had anything we needed on site. We had the 3 x barns which made it very comfortable for everyone to have space and then had the main dining room space for the evenings which was perfect! Would definitely recommend and even stay there again.
