The Old Stables at Warborne Farm

Settle into the casual luxury of a modernised old stable where the farming history of the building dovetails nicely with George’s eye for design. See if you can spot the achingly cool repurposed surgical trolley and Victorian medical cabinet as a nod to the long line of doctors in the family. The steel kitchen table is topped with barn oak and the double bed has been crafted straight from our woodlands, using mature silver birch set against a Scandinavian blue background. The sleek and elegant pared back design of The Old Stables invites you to revel in the simple things as you relax back at the farm after a day exploring enchanted New Forest woodlands or the sparkling coastline. When my father took over from his dad in 1951 there were 5 working horses in here. They were separated by stall partitions and had a hay manger under the window. This was filled with hay, forked down from the hay loft above. The horses were used for everything from ploughing the fields to towing the heavy dray carts and could be ridden too, if rather slowly. At the time they were more reliable than tractors, but that wouldn’t last long.. Immerse yourself in farm life and roam free over fields, orchard and vegetable gardens.
