he Stables is a fantastically appointed property located in the small village of Crimplesham and ideally placed for all that Norfolk has to offer. The history of this wonderful house dates back to 1881 when it was first commissioned as the stable block to serve Crimplesham Hall. The house and the stable block were designed by world renowned architect Alfred Waterhouse who in the same year completed his other project… The Natural History Museum! The property is ideal for families with its ground floor wet room, large enclosed outdoor space and its fabulous games room accessed from behind a hidden door disguised as a bookshelf. The property sleeps up to 7 adults and 4 children in the 5 bedrooms. The specially designed kids bedroom has two sets for bunk beds to accommodate the 4 children. This property is ideally suited for family get-togethers, please be aware no stags/hens and no parties are permitted in The Stables, and will result in termination of your booking.

The Stables is perfectly located for all of Norfolk's activities and attractions. Downham Market is on the doorstep which has a variety of pubs and restaurants to choose from. Downham Market is one of Norfolk’s oldest market towns, dating back to Saxon times. The town retains a really intimate feel, characterised by many fine historic buildings, craft and collectibles markets – with a bustling market on many Fridays and Saturdays along with its unique black and white clock in the town square. Over the past few decades, Downham Market has grown from being a quiet market town to a busy town with supermarkets, cafes and restaurants and plenty of independent shops. Nearby Ely is another historic town with an amazing cathedral, historic architecture, boat trips, antique shops, restaurants and cafés. In addition it also has a small trading estate (Ely Leisure village) that includes a Cineworld Cinema, Costa and several franchise restaurants. During the summer it doesn’t take that long to head North to the coast and enjoy the renown sandy beaches of North Norfolk such as Hunstanton, Holt and Cromer. The Stables is the perfect base to explore the great outdoors!
