That's right, Pirates, you and up to three others can spend a couple of days sleeping next door to Basil the miniature horse!

Fancy a sleepover? It's pretty popular, but there is availability throughout 2026. There's a minimum stay of two nights on most dates. Weekends are still available currently in March, September, October, November and December and are not much more for a weekend. It's £360 for a 2-night mid-week stay or £420 for a 2-night weekend stay (Fri-Sun).

You'll stay overnight in your own apartment that has a connecting door to Basil's stable. Sometimes there are baby lambs in with Basil too.

The owners have a selection of animals including a herd of Highland cows, Hebridean sheep, horses, chickens and Norwegian Forrest cats.

Guests will also have access to an open outdoor log fire with a BBQ grill, as well an outdoor tiki hut/seating area.

The apartment has a kitchen, a bathroom and space for up to four guests. You'll be free to explore and meet the other animals.
