Nestled on the outskirts of our working farm and the local market gardeners, The New Stables allows you to be in the countryside within a short walk to the beautiful Georgian town of Melbourne.
‘OMG - what a fabulous place! The New Stables is absolutely gorgeous!! Perfect for our weekend stay for our trip to Donington Race Track to watch the World Superbikes. Jayne is an amazing host - thank you so much for the fizz and pastries, not to mention your very warm welcome - we will definitely be back soon! PS Your dogs are just too cute for words :-)

“ Back again 2 years on from our first stay in your lovely, comfortable home. Sadly no time to enjoy what Melbourne has to offer as busy settling Joan into her hew abode in Aston on Trent. After busy hectic days unpacking it was lovely to relax on the patio with the pigeons and pied wagtails for company. I very much look forward to staying again in January. Many thanks Jayne”

"We recently stayed at The New Stables over Christmas and it was just perfect. We wanted to be close to family in a nearby village and chose Melbourne because of the lovely shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. The New Stables is perfectly located a short drive or walk away from the centre of the town. The location is peaceful but still close to all the local amenities. We couldn’t fault the accommodation, it was spotlessly clean, finished to a high standard and such a homely place to stay. The place was lovely and warm and the upstairs snug, complete with a gorgeous Christmas tree, was perfect to hang out in and play family games. We loved staying there so much that we wanted to stay longer but unfortunately it was booked out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for both couples and families to stay in. A real gem of a find. Thank you Jayne and Nigel."

“ What a lovely beautiful home from home, and a lovely welcome from Jayne. It is such a treat to be able to walk from the property, and to enjoy the fizz (thank you) in the garden. We will be back, I’m sure.

A beautifully presented cottage with a perfect location for walking to Melbourne and all the lovely local walks, from Calke Abbey, to the Trent River and canal to Breedon’s Church on the Hill. The book of walks was really useful and the location was warm and cosy
