The estate is also home to hedgehogs, rabbits, and numerous birds of prey, including kestrels and buzzards, often seen gliding silently overhead.

Our neighbouring farms add to the charm of the landscape, with geese, alpacas, cows, and horses completing the picturesque rural scene.

Our remote location means there’s very little light pollution, making Ranmoor Estate the perfect spot for stargazing. On a clear night, the sky comes alive with stars — so why not bring your telescope and enjoy the wonders above from the comfort of your private terrace or hot tub?

Had such a relaxing time here. The place was very clean and tidy and spacious! The view and outdoor space was amazing and the hot tub a real bonus. Everything went really smoothly. Thank you.
