While some minor issues with facilities were mentioned, the overall experience is seen as excellent, with particular appreciation for the property's suitability for a relaxing getaway.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score for this category.

The Stable is an excellent holiday location just off the M5 which means Gloucester, Bath, Bristol and many other locations are in easy reach. We received a very warm welcome and found the cottage perfect for us. A selection of take-a-ways are a short walk away too.

We hebben genoten van een heerlijke week in het fijne huisje in een landelijke setting. Ontvangen met lekkeren cake en bloemen! Goed contact met Rosanna; ze was aardig en toch op de achtergrond aanwezig.
