What Makes Toad Hall Special

Formerly a threshing barn for the farm, there was plenty of space for us to create a two-storey self-catering cottage. Toad Hall is one of our largest cottages on the site and a popular choice for groups. By converting original features such as the cart doors into contemporary double-glazed windows, we’ve modernised Toad Hall to meet our guests’ needs.

Due to the nature of this conversion, the upper floor has three low-level roof trusses, which are 1,7 metres high. We’ve also chosen to retain the 1.6 metre doorway. These features bring something unique to Toad Hall without impeding the space.

What Makes Rats Retreat Special?

The arched barn that houses Rats Retreat and Swallows Swoop formed part of the site’s early 19th-century farm building. This part of the structure is significant because it’s a prime example of a planned “model” farm, thought to be from the turn of the 19th Century.

The barn’s arched form is of particular interest because it’s so rare. Not many of these structures have survived, giving us a real example of an arcaded cart house with a granary over it. These architectural features have been noted in various literature as an innovative building type associated with the Grafton Estate. The Duke of Grafton was prominent in the agricultural improvement movement, and examples of Grafton estate farmsteads may, therefore, be of national importance.

What Did Our Guests Think?

What Did Our Guests Think?

David July 2024

Great place to stay. Ideal to attend our convention for Jehovah’s Witnesses at Stadium MK.

John June 2024

Return visit after a very pleasant stay last year. Different accomodations this year but same high standards. I messed up book a little but Victoria and staff were really helpful and it wasn’t a problem. Very friendly staff on site if required and pre booking email communication was great. Rooms were very good clean comfortable and good wifi as there were four of us using laptops and phones at some points. May well came back again in a year or so.

What Makes Weasel Way Special

The reason why Weasel Way offers plenty of space is that this site was the stables and tack room on the farm. Requiring a large area to care for horses, it was the perfect spot to build a wonderful countryside cottage, comfortably fitting one or two families.

We’ve incorporated many modern features, such as double-glazed windows and bi-folding doors leading to the patio and courtyard, fully exposed brick walls, and wooden beams. However, the standout feature of Weasel Way is the fireplace in the living room, which creates a focal point for sharing time together.

What Did Our Guests Think?

Deborah December 2024

8 family members stayed at Weasels Way for Christmas, including my 2 grandchildren aged 7 and 4. It was the perfect Christmas place to stay! So much space for young and old , beautiful home and everything there that we needed. The grandchildren loved it too. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay there again. Many thanks Victoria!

David November 2024

Great place to stay in handy location. Clean and well equipped modern apartment.
