The stable block underwent radical alteration when it was transformed into a Victorian Refreshment Room with living accommodation provided at the two ends. Very little evidence is left of the original stable layout. The information below is intended to give a general idea of the original interior.

Stables developed with accommodation for the horses on the ground floor. This consisted of stalls for the horses that were used (and therefore exercised)regularly, and loose boxes (larger spaces where the animals were left untied) for those not used so often and for sick animals. Each stall had a trough for corn and a rack for hay. Partitions between the stalls were wooden with a higher part near the head to prevent the horses annoying each other. Paved floors sloped to a channel behind the horse to carry off urine. Large hooks were either fixed near each horse for the harness, bridle stirrups etc. or these may have been grouped together in a separate harness room.

The stables at Aston Hall are thought to have had  lofts overhead and they served several purposes. The hay could be stored here and may have been dropped directly through a hole in the floor into the racks. Hay lofts provided insulation thereby helping keep the horses warm and provided a bed for lowliest of stable servants.
