Stoneywell

Zigzagging from its rocky outcrop in the heart of the Charnwood Forest, Stoneywell is the realisation of one man’s Arts and Crafts vision within a family home. Original furniture and family treasures fill the cottage’s quirky rooms and, outside, every turn conjures childhood memories of holiday excitement – one way to the fort, another to the woods beyond. Stoneywell is straight out of a storybook; spiral staircases and attic bedrooms, winding garden paths and towering trees, birdsong and buzzing bees. Join a guided tour to learn more about the many stories behind the Cottage, or simply take a moment to enjoy the delights of the season in the garden and the semi-ancient woodland – from carpets of daffodils and bluebells to fantastic fungi. Enjoy a cup of tea in the cosy tearoom and have a browse of the second-hand bookshop – and the old Stables are a hive of activity during the holidays, with seasonal activities for little ones.
