Hosts
Kate
Our family have lived in this beautiful countryside for over 20 years, we have a vast amount of knowledge about the area and are happy to recommend walks, hacks and places to visit. Nothing is too much trouble - if you have any questions, please ask!
The house is owned by Dawnay Estate and was built in 1846. In recent history, the property was used as an equestrian outfit and smallholding. David Jeffels, a Shire horse farmer, lived here around 70 years ago – he was an avid competitor with his Shires; you can see the prizes left in The Tack Room from the 1950s, along with other artefacts found on the property. Cottage Farm Stables was a riding school for many years before we arrived and developed it into a private livery yard and holiday destination.
Kate has been keeping horses here all her life and breeds, trains and produces sports horses. She has a vast knowledge about safety and making your furry friends feel at home. She is also the guide who will navigate you on your horse back tours.
Living sustainably is important to us. Here at Acre & Shelter ‘The Tack Room’ has been sensitively designed and restored using wood from the farm, reclaimed materials and English antiques. We have used upcycled and reclaimed materials in the construction of the handcrafted outdoor yurts. Any surplus food is fed to the chickens or dogs. All plastic, paper and glass is recycled. Rainwater is collected in water butts and can be used for the horses water, washing boots etc. All our toiletries and cleaning products comply with our sustainable ethos. Everything we do aims to support our local community and preserve the environment so that it can be enjoyed by future generations.
