Tucked in a corner of the Trekking Centre, the stable apartment retains the welcoming spirit of the stable’s 100 year racehorse stud heritage — a place where life began gently and care was given around the clock. It’s a truly special retreat for those who love nature, animals and a touch of equine history.

“The location on the farm was perfect - quiet and peaceful, but with lots of things to do in the area. A perfect place to relax and unwind. Perfectly as described, I highly recommend it for a nice peaceful getaway in a beautiful place. ” — Faheem

With its own private covered entrance on the outside corner of the Trekking Centre, the stable apartment is self-contained and centrally located at the heart of the farm. Visitors (particularly children) are enchanted by the sights and sounds of horses, lambs and ducks (you can buy duck eggs at the Trekking Centre).

Originally a mare and foal stable, this unique space has been transformed into a lovely apartment. Once home to broodmares and their newborn foals, the stable was designed to provide a calm, safe, and nurturing environment — and that same sense of peace and warmth is felt in every corner of the renovated space today.

The layout is designed to maximise natural light and space, creating a bright and airy feel throughout. The living room serves as the heart of the home, offering easy access to all other areas, not only enhancing the sense of flow and connection between rooms but also preserving the building’s original sense of openness and function.

High ceilings, wide doorways, and sturdy walls hint at the building’s original purpose. These architectural features speak to its past as a stable, where practical design met the needs of sheltering horses. The space is designed with durability and function in mind.

“This is a self catering flat in a lovely location. The flat is well equipped and very clean, eco cleaning products are provided in the kitchen, also hand wash, shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathroom. The rooms are beautifully furnished and have a simple decor. ” — Stephen

The kitchen dining table can be easily extended or reduced to suit the occasion, offering flexibility for both quiet meals and larger gatherings. Above it hangs an original painting by Emma Jamison ‘Haw Frost’ which is of a beautiful tree in winter near the Horsebox Café.

Start your day with a quick and easy breakfast in the kitchen or visit the Horsebox Café for a late morning freshly ground coffee from Café du Monde, delicious hot chocolate or speciality tea. For a hot bacon or egg sandwich, head to Woodfire Camping - open from 8am.

The main bedroom is a calm, uncluttered room—easy to relax in. Wooden floors and simple, natural furnishings give the space a warm, grounded feel. An original painting by Pamela Jamison hangs above the dressing table, adding quiet interest without overwhelming the space.

At Westerlands, we understand the importance of rest. A comfortable bed offers the foundation for deep, restful sleep, helping both body and mind relax. Waking to the sounds of farm animals and birdsong brings a natural rhythm to the morning, setting a calm, unhurried tone for the day.

Natural materials offer more than just visual appeal, they create a sense of connection to the environment. In a world full of synthetic finishes and fast-changing trends, natural elements offer a quiet, lasting kind of beauty that encourages a slower, more mindful way of living.

“The amenities were exceptional, catering to every need and ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into making the apartment a haven for guests. We found ourselves hesitant to leave, dreaming about living in such a beautiful place full-time.” — Sonny

“The accommodation itself was immaculate, surpassing any place we've visited before in terms of cleanliness and comfort. Nestled off the grid, the farm offered a blissful silence, providing a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It was the ideal setting for our family, which includes our two sons and our small dog.” — Sonny

Where mares once nuzzled their foals in deep straw bedding, guests now unwind in cozy furnishings and serene surroundings. Soft textures, warm lighting, and stylish interiors create a peaceful retreat that balances functional charm with contemporary comfort.

The shower room is bright and airy, with a well-placed window that lets in natural light and fresh air. As you get ready for the day, the soft sounds of horses heading out for their morning trek drift in, adding a gentle rhythm to the morning.

“There are countless perfect details from our stay, each contributing to a truly remarkable experience. We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to have stayed at this beautiful apartment.” — Sonny
