You can now enjoy a unique experience by spending a night with Basil, a charming miniature horse, through an unconventional Airbnb stay.

Located in Thurgarton, Nottinghamshire, this farm accommodation, known as “Basil’s Barn,” offers a single bedroom set within the serene grounds of a 17th-century manor.

Nestled amidst a beautiful 60-acre estate, the barn’s interior is the main draw for guests.

The bedroom boasts a double bed and two single bunk beds, alongside a spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen, and bathroom.

Right in the heart of the barn, a unique feature stands out—a wall open to reveal the cozy stable quarters of Basil, the miniature Shetland pony who resides there.

Images from the listing, highlighted on NeedToKnow.co.uk, capture the endearing sight of Basil peeking his head over the barn wall into the room, adding to the charm of the accommodation.

Visitors are kindly requested to switch off Basil’s light before retiring for the night. They’re informed that Basil will be present upon their arrival and will remain with them throughout the “sleepover” experience.

In the morning, Basil will be returned to his field after spending the night in the stable.

Described as “very cheeky,” Basil enjoys his company with his two companions in the field, Benji and Oscar.

With numerous positive reviews, the popular Airbnb listing boasts an impressive rating of 4.94 out of five stars. Guests can book a stay at Basil’s Barn for approximately £200 per night.
