Historic Welbeck estate unveils brand new holiday accommodation

Five barn conversions in the quiet village of Holbeck on the rural estate, near Worksop, will be available to book for short breaks from the end of August.

And next month will see the opening of another new holiday cottage on the estate in the hamlet of Belph.

The barns have been named after horse racing legends – Mrs Butterwick, Mowerina, Marquesa, Phaleron, and La Roche – who ran to victory for Welbeck Abbey’s 6th Duke of Portland.

The three and four-bedroom properties each have their own large south-facing garden and patio, while the two-bedroom property has a smaller enclosed outdoor space.

Meanwhile, the finishing touches are now being made to two-bedroom Stable Cottage at Belph for its opening in September.

While staying on the estate, guests will be able to visit places within the Courtyard at Welbeck, including the farm shop, the Harley Gallery and cafe and the Portland Collection museum.

The accommodation is also a few minutes’ drive from The School of Artisan Food, which is due to re-open on September 4.

Ian Goodwin, chief executive at Welbeck Estates Company Ltd, said: “We are delighted to be able to open up Holbeck Farm Barns and we look forward to welcoming couples and families to the Welbeck estate. We hope they enjoy their break here.”
