📜 HISTORY OF HEATON HOUSE FARM (Part 6) 📜Ever wondered about the history of The Old Stableyard at Heaton House Farm and how it became the wonderful breakfast room it is today? 🙌
Originally, the building served as the milking parlour for the farm’s dairy herd. When the herd was sold, the building became redundant until 2008, when it was rented to a former pub landlord who launched local business Wincle Beer Company Ltd. As the brewery grew in popularity, it moved to larger premises in 2012, leaving the building ready for its next chapter. 🍻
Meanwhile, Margaret had been running a small bed and breakfast in the farmhouse since 2000, welcoming wedding guests. As weddings at Heaton House Farm grew, more accommodation was needed. In 2013, The Old Stableyard was transformed to include eight beautiful bedrooms, a kitchen and restaurant, with each room individually designed by Margaret using local craftsmen and materials.
Today, The Old Stableyard is where couples and their guests enjoy a relaxed breakfast the morning after their wedding, and is also available for private hire for birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, small weddings and any other unforgettable occassion! 🤩
