Alderbury Hill
COTTAGES · WILTSHIRE
The Old Stables forms one half of a beautifully converted stable and carriage building on the Alderbury Hill estate — a family home set in fourteen acres of grounds, paddocks and open Wiltshire countryside.
The cottage sleeps six across two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and its own en-suite bathroom with hand shower, with an additional mezzanine level within the room — accessed by a fixed ladder and sleeping two on a double bed. See photographs for layout. The second bedroom has a full double bed. There is also a separate modern wet room shower. All bed linen is 100% cotton with feather duvets; synthetic available on request.
The kitchen is fully equipped with an induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge with ice box. The living area has fibre Wi-Fi, streamed HDTV and a Sonos system with ceiling speakers throughout. Outside, a private patio with dining table, chairs and a BBQ looks out over the estate’s paddocks and open countryside beyond.
The Larder — before you arrive, stock your kitchen with our curated selection of locally sourced breakfast boxes, BBQ bundles, New Forest cheeses and fresh produce, delivered to your cottage. Please order at least five days before your stay.
Browse The LarderThanks to its central-corridor design, The Old Stables can be joined with The Carriage House to accommodate groups of up to twelve guests across four bedrooms, two mezzanine rooms and four bathrooms — ideal for family gatherings or group celebrations.
Guest access — guests have exclusive use of the patio and BBQ, and are welcome to enjoy the estate’s gardens, walking field and paddocks. We ask that you keep to the guest areas and are mindful of the garden directly around the main house and the private spaces of neighbouring cottages. Parking is in the guest area next to the stables.
We are usually on hand to welcome you on arrival and show you around. If we cannot meet you, we will let you know in advance and arrange for your keys to be left safely. Check-in is from 3:00pm to 8:00pm.
“Ruth and Callum were amazing hosts, very accommodating for our last-minute booking. The property was exceptionally clean and well presented — the best B&B we have ever stayed in. Amazing grounds our little dog and toddler loved.”
“Ruth’s properties are truly amazing. The location is awesome with fantastic views, both stylishly decorated and immaculately maintained. Our multigenerational group loved an al fresco evening in great surroundings.”
“The best of Airbnb: a stunning countryside location with sweeping views, excellent hosts, and a well-appointed, homely and stylish interior. The perfect base to explore the New Forest.”
“The perfect spot for a restful, cosy girls’ weekend — brilliant heating, comfy bedding, champagne flutes and great cooking equipment. The grounds are stunning. We will definitely return.”
“A real English country estate, like something out of a picture book, with its own driveway, old trees and a sweeping view of the countryside. Everything is very high quality. We will definitely come back.”
“Highly recommend for an escape weekend. Great local pubs and only 20 minutes to the New Forest for long Sunday dog walks. Great accommodation in a lovely area.”
“Little food gifts left for us, beautifully decorated and immaculate. Our daughter’s favourite part of the whole holiday was visiting the ponies Manny and Daisy, who we could see from the house.”
“This isn’t the first time I’ve stayed at one of Ruth’s cottages and won’t be the last. Excellent, well appointed and comfortable — it’s evident she has paid attention to detail restoring each property.”
“Modern, clean and historic, with fabulous bathrooms — a walk-in rain shower in one and a beautiful bath in the other. We loved the two tiny horses in the stables. Highly recommend.”
