There is an outdoor sauna overlooking the expansive paddock, a firepit with a built in yarning circle, piano and a full sized pool table. Our teenage children played games of pool followed by sitting around the campfire playing their guitars, which was so heartwarming to see them interact like this rather than sit on their devices. There is also a selection of great reading material in the library lounge area as well as games and puzzles. We are already planning our next visit back. Thank you Penny for letting us stay and for your incredible communication. From enquiry to booking and checking out was seamless. "

Tatbern Park is owned by Jason & Lisa Martin, it was purchased 51 years ago by Lisa’s father Paul Barnett and is where Lisa grew up and spent many lovely family Christmas lunches on the veranda in the cottage. Before the Barnett family owned Tatbern Park the Parish family were the original owners, they ran the largest diary here and it's still is standing 120 years later all the timber that it was used to built the diary came off the farm, they also did a lot of cropping growing millet and grains in silos that the grain were stored in are made from cement that go down underground and still are in good condition now. There were many animals on the farm as they needed to be self-sufficient so pigs, chickens, cows etc were all roaming freely but they also needed to work the farm to plant the crops as tractors were not available so they bred heavy working horses to pull the machinery and make the large dam that you see today out the front of the cottage it was dug out with horse and scoop 150 years ago. The house you are staying in was originally the Sunday school teacher's house and the building you can park your cars in next to the cottage was where the children went to school, you might notice in the TV room the corner or the room just behind the French door the floor drops off a little this was where the teacher would play her piano to the children. Tatbern Park was named by Lisa’s father he was a Adverting Agent who had incredible foresight the name is Lisa’s surname Barnett mixed up but originally the farms name was Noel as it was found at Christmas time from the Parish family. Lisa and Jason Martin now own and run Tatbern Park as a going farm with Angus Cattle and horses, Lisa who has been competing with her horses since she was 4 has represented Australia on many occasions in Dressage as a able bodied rider as well as a Paralympian at her first Paralympics in Rio 2016 placing 4th in her three tests, World Equestrian Games 2022 and now Lisa has just returned from competing at the Paris Paralympics placing 5th and x2 6th with her horse Vilaggio.

The Victoria Pub, a short stroll down the road has outside eating on the river so is great for children the view is gorgeous,
The Commercial Hotel in Morpeth has really great food and country charm.
Common Grounds in Morpeth has the best coffee.
Ometto Pizza bar in Maitland (10 minute drive) has incredible Italian woodier Pizzas.

Fratelli Roma in Maitland is great Italian and all their pasta is home made on the premises.
Beautiful Country side all around the property for walking, bike riding, running and fishing.
My tips:
A 4 day getaway for me while staying at Vintage Steel would be:
Day 1, explore the local village of Morpeth and relax at the property enjoying the pool and fire with dinner at the local Hinton pub.
Day 2, head on a day trip to the Hunter Valley wine region, approximately a 35-40 minute drive away.
Day 3, explore the magical beaches of Port Stephens, an easy 40-minute drive.
Day 4, enjoy the local cafes, restaurants and markets with a spot of fishing or jetty jumping into the river.
