WELCOME
Space for a perfect getaway to relax and celebrate.
Three beautiful bedroom suites, a private garden, hot tub, generous living spaces and our much-loved 4pm Lazy Sunday checkout make it the perfect setting for weekends away, celebrations and simply getting everyone together.
It is the sort of place where you can arrive, open a bottle of wine, settle into the kitchen and forget about the outside world.
There is space to cook and eat together, a comfortable sitting room with a wood-burner, a separate snug when you want some quiet time, and a private garden with a fire pit and hot tub.

FROM YOUR HOST
A personal welcome from Miranda
"I want The Old Dairy to feel like somewhere you can completely switch off. I'm always happy to recommend places to eat, walks, activities and things to do, and I'll do my best to make your stay as easy and relaxed as possible."
MIRANDA
OCCASIONS
Made for getting everyone together.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply spending time with people you love, The Old Dairy offers space to relax, reconnect and enjoy a proper break.
A beautiful, comfortable house for catching up, cooking, sharing long meals and relaxing together. Two of the bedrooms can be arranged as twin beds.
Birthdays, Anniversaries & Special Occasions
Flexible bedroom arrangements, a ground-floor suite and generous shared spaces — ideal for multi-generational families.
Three bedroom suites, three private bathrooms and plenty of space — so nobody gets the “bad bedroom”.
Come for the countryside and hot tub, stay for long lunches, lazy breakfasts and evenings by the wood-burner or fire pit.
Peaceful countryside, leisurely breakfasts, relaxing dips in the hot tub and time to explore at your own pace.
LONG WEEKENDS
Turn your weekend into a long weekend – a proper break
Why wait until Friday? Arrive on Thursday evening and wake up on Friday with the whole weekend ahead of you.
And instead of packing up on Sunday morning, take your time — a slow breakfast, a country walk, a long Sunday lunch. Our much-loved 4pm Lazy Sunday checkout is included.
Prefer to arrive on Friday? Stay three nights and enjoy the same treat with a 4pm Lazy Monday checkout.
More time. Less rushing. A proper break.
OUTSIDE
A little space of your own.
Step through the French doors into your own private garden — eat outside, relax on the garden sofas or gather around the fire pit.
Footpaths and bridleways lead directly from the property. And when you really want to switch off, there is the hot tub.
Hot tub available for £75 per stay, including bathrobes and spa towels.
STAYING IN
Sometimes, the best plans are no plans at all.
The large open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is the heart of the house, with a generous dining table, comfortable seating and a wood-burner.
The kitchen is perfect for cooking with friends, with a Rangemaster oven and a well-stocked pantry — plus a welcome hamper of breakfast essentials. Or we can recommend a private chef to do all the work.
There is also a separate snug — perfect for curling up with a book or watching a film.

Even nicer than the pictures.
It has an open plan living area with a beautiful kitchen and big dining table, three good sized bedrooms and a separate sitting room. There were lots of kind touches and we felt immediately at home. The perfect place for a family weekend away.
