House Overview
​Hinning House has a long history as a property that, if you take some time looking at all the buildings, can literally be seen. The original building on the property is on your left as you make your way up the drive after the door with the recycle sign on it. This is where the folk working the land lived with their live stoic on the ground floor for warmth hundreds of years ago. The main house is set in the centre of the outbuildings and consists of two halves. Originally built as a barn adjoined to the 'Cottage' the two were later linked with an interior door and the barn eventually converted into an extension of the cottage. The two parts of the main property are now referred to the 'House' and the 'Cottage' sides. There is ample parking all the way up the drive as well as a games barn with table tennis and table football. Stabling Horses is also available when arranged before ones stay.
The 'House' Side
The 'House' side of the property is the larger side. Here you will find the main lounge/dining room with its comfy sofas and wood burning stove, books, board games and maps. The house's large open plan kitchen/dining room is also on this side of the house with a utility room as well as a small toilet just off the kitchen. Both the kitchen and sitting room on this side of the house open out onto the large slate patio and garden.
