THE GATEHOUSE
The Gatehouse is one of the two buildings on either side of the arch which leads into the Georgian Yard of Ringfort Stud. For decades it has been used for grooms' and farm workers' living quarters, but a total refurbishment has upgraded it to elegant and comfortable accommodation for short term self-catering (minimum two days) or long term.
There is a well-equipped kitchen including a washing machine and immersion heater, two bedrooms sleeping four (one double and a twin-bedded room); an electric shower and a large living and dining room. There is oil-fired central heating and a wood-burning stove if you fancy a cosy night in. The bedrooms are reached from the ground floor by a spiral staircase so may prove a problem for little children or those with physical difficulties.
