The Stables at New Hall Farm & Holiday Park is a 2008 conversion property which first entered the self catering market in the 2009 season. The Stables forms part of our family owned farm and holiday park which has been established over 40 years. The Stables is a charming two bedroom cottage linked to a 16th century manor house situated on a plateau valley formed by the Bedburn River on the eastern boundary of Hamsterley Forest in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
