The Stables, Hall Green Near Walmer Bridge

Lancashire. Sleeps up to 2

Overlooking rural countryside fields, is this charming stable from the early 1900s which was used mainly for working horses. The Stables is perfect for a romantic retreat to the Lancashire coast, countryside and city life. Be welcomed into the owner's property and admire the surrounding greenery and landscapes as you find the self-contained annexe, boasting a gravel driveway with parking. Stepping through the single-storey dwelling, make yourself at home in the open-plan living space, rustling up a home-cooked meal for a date night in the amply-equipped kitchen, before joining together on the dining table over a bottle of wine. Once dinner has been cleared away, kick back on the plush sofa in this rustic setting, letting the woodburning stove warm you up during a film night. When sleep calls, head to the inviting double bedroom, decorated to a hotel-style standard and offering ample storage, served by a contemporary shower room which boasts a large walk-in shower and heated towel rail. Make use of the quiet grounds on a summer's day and dine alfresco on the outdoor seating, accompanied by a refreshing beverage as you watch the sunset. Explore the nearby village of Walmer Bridge and stock up on essentials at the nearby shop, before enjoying a spot of hearty grub in the local pub.
