Meet the Family Behind The Stables
Tucked away in peaceful Norfolk woodland, The Stables is more than just a luxury getaway — it’s a family-run dream brought to life by Robert and Carla, a couple passionate about nature, sustainability, and creating meaningful holiday experiences.
With backgrounds rooted in craftsmanship, care, and a love for the outdoors, Robert and Carla have created a retreat where guests can enjoy the comforts of high-end living while staying connected to nature — and doing so with a lighter footprint.
A Blend of Skill, Heart, and Homegrown Values
Robert’s journey started in the military, before he moved into the building trade in 2012. Over the years, he’s been involved in a range of high-end property projects across Norfolk, including holiday lets, coastal homes, and standout renovations. With a sharp eye for detail and a hands-on approach, he brings a wealth of experience and genuine craftsmanship to The Stables.
Carla, on the other hand, has always been drawn to supporting others — a quality that shines through in the way she welcomes guests. Her most cherished role, though, is being a mum to two young adventurers who are already showing interest in the family business. For Carla, life outdoors and back-to-basics camping with the kids has helped shape their vision for what a true escape should feel like: free, grounded, and surrounded by nature.
More Than a Holiday – A Lifestyle Choice
Their shared love of travel, both around the UK and abroad, combined with a strong appreciation for wildlife and sustainability, inspired the idea for The Stables. They knew they wanted to create something special — a luxury woodland stay that celebrates nature without compromising on comfort.
That vision is now a reality.
The property features solar panels, a biomass boiler, a borehole providing naturally filtered water, and a woodfired hot tub — all part of their mission to offer a luxurious stay with a low environmental impact.
