A hotel in the United Kingdom is allowing horse lovers to spend the night in a barn designed to cater to overnight, two-legged guests. Dubbed the “Stable Stays” experience, equine enthusiasts can spend the night with either a Friesian horse or a Shetland pony for $250.
The accommodations are anything but rustic: the sleeping stall is outfitted with a double bed and a bunk bed, as well as with a mini fridge, microwave, shower and toilet. The stall beside it, where the horse lives, is partially separated by a transparent divider so guests can keep an eye on their four-legged friend all night.
Guests are encouraged to feed and groom the horse with whom they will be spending the night; if they are reluctant to get in the stall with the horse, they can brush or feed it from the bunk bed. The hotel reminds guests that horses don’t sleep in the same manner people do, for multiple hours in a stretch; they are up and down during the night, which may be hard for some people to get a good night’s sleep.
