Donative Holiday Cottages - The Stables

The Stables is a converted barn on a working farm between Polesworth and Warton, close to Tamworth. Built from the farm's original outbuildings, it retains character while offering the comforts of a modern cottage. The property is yours alone for the duration of your stay, with private parking and a rear garden where you can sit out or use the gas barbecue.

Downstairs is an open-plan living space with freeview TV and a z-bed for flexible sleeping, plus a full kitchen with electric oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. The main bedroom upstairs is galleried with a kingsize bed and ensuite shower room. A second bedroom on the ground floor has two single beds that zip together, served by a bathroom with bath and shower. Electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included; heating comes from oil central heating. One dog can stay free, though it must be kept on a lead in this sheep country.

A pub sits within a mile. The farm's location makes it a base for exploring the Midlands, whether you're heading into Birmingham or the wider region. The working farm itself—with its cattle and horses—forms part of the setting rather than just a backdrop.
