  A perfect place in a beautiful rural setting, but within easy reach by car to lots of very beautiful towns and villages (independent shops, clean, no empty shops!

  ). We absolutely loved this cottage and will definitely come back, we also loved the whole area. We normally go to the Cotswolds, but chose this cottage because it had everything we needed and felt like a change. Boy were we pleased we did. In short Stable Cottage absolutely perfect, but importantly the surrounding area, towns and villages also fantastic too. Our whole party really enjoyed the break. The cottage is absolutely wonderful inside with everything we needed. We specifically needed a double bed and walk in shower down stairs, plus anther double bedroom with shower or bath. This was because we were travelling with very elderly parents. The hot tub, which is wood fired was brilliant and as it sits in a very sheltered and secluded area so even though there was a severe rain weather warning during that time and the temp dropped to around 16c it was still absolutely lovely to sit outside and go in the hot tub which we went in for several hours for 3 of our 4 days. The cottage had a really handy large boot room so all your clutter could happily sit out there. I also like to cook whilst away. The kitchen, although a little small (mainly available counter space), was very well fitted out with absolutely everything you could ever need (even a washing machine!) and the items were all of a high standard (ie no useless knives or can openers etc). Belinda and Mike were wonderful, lovely and helpful, always around if you needed anything, but not if you didn’t. Lots of walks from the cottage. We also visited Hereford Castle (needed to be in the summer months I think to get the splendour of the gardens- we went end Sept). Hereford – lovely worth a visit , ate at the Beefy Boys – very nice, Worcester, again lovely. Both towns vibrant, lots of independent shops (including modal shops for the husband) and very clean. We had a truly outstanding meal (tapas) at the Unwind Bar – definitely worth a visit. If you go on a Thursday and spend more than £40 on Tapas, you can get a bottle of wine at 50% off. We went for a red from Puglia at £29 per bottle (£14.50 with the discount) honestly one of the most beautiful reds I have ever tasted. So good we are going to import some in for ourselves.

  Beatiful setting and gardens The outdoor wooden room very comfy chairs great to sit in and read .

  Very comfy bed.Overlong curtains caused an accident. .No comfortable chair To sit in to watch tv only wicker iron dining chairs covered by fluffy white sheepskins. After a day out I enjoy watching TV from a comfy chair and about 8 some nibbles.Idont.like watching TV from bed or eating snacks inbed but understand this is personal 7 sheepskins in an area you approximately 35 ft.by 10 feet to accommodate sleeping area dining and cooking including sidetables bookcase and bedside tables so small.Despite leaving switch on longer no water sufficiently hot to wash greasy dishes kept running cold as it did in bathroom sink.3 cupboards of China one narrow cupboard for food The shoser came apart on day 3 when I tried to cleansoap dish.slide doordoes not slide so water fromShower gets through. quite a space.storage.smallfridge although room for a taller one.Food storage difficult for 7 days yet alone nine. Cooking a faff as no hob or oven set up apart from microwave oven which was not cooking through properly have to set up equipment and store back. Again personal choice I'd provide Cornish scones from post office in pack rather than Lidle nationwide ones.A welcome binder would be really useful. Fresh flowers all around in garden but about five poor plastic plants in barn. Clothes washing difficult had to boil kettle for dishes and clothes couldnot find basket to carry clothes to line.

  A great holiday cottage and lovely surroundings.

  We went in the winter which was really nice, but in the summer it would be even nicer! Lots of walks to do around the area and we went to a lovely pub-restaurant called The Baiting House in a nearby village which we would recommend. The only thing we found a little annoying was the internet situation. The phone service is very poor in the area and you are only given 2gb of free wifi through 4G. Once this has run out you then have to purchase more which is a bit costly and runs out very quickly if several people using it. If you know you will need internet throughout your stay then just be prepared to spend a bit. The wood-burning hot tub was also a nice 'country' touch on a cold winter evening, however it was a bit of a pain having to keep putting more wood in it and it definitely took us more than 4 hours to heat up from cold. Other than these two minor details, the cottage itself is fantastic and has everything you need for a great week/weekend away! The hosts are lovely too and left us a nice hamper of homemade goodies as a welcome gift.

  I had the most wonderful week at Stable Cottage.

  The place is perfect, lots of nature, walks, scenery and wildlife on your doorstep. The cottage itself was better than any pictures or words, it felt warm and welcoming with so much heart put into all aspects, such as little picture perfect views from every room, the wood fired hot tub that was heated for my arrival, home made jam, detailed walking routes and write ups of where to visit or eat. This is a place where you feel the energy that says, just slow down and look around and take it all in. It had everything you need to be self sufficient for the week. Some lovely extras in a welcome basket were such a special touch. Belinda and Mike are very caring hosts who want you to relax and enjoy the space they’ve created. They’re always available should you need them. A special mention to Ola their lovely dog who likes to check in with you whenever she sees you, another lovely aspect to my week. Stable Cottage is somewhere I will revisit, it lifted my spirit and filled me with joy for the entire stay. I highly recommend staying there.

  Great area, nice cottage, but the place was dirty.

  There were cobwebs in every room like it hadn't been cleaned, which was evident it hadn't been for sometime. There was cobwebs on windows in all rooms. There was even cobwebs on the stair carpet corners, that's how bad it was. My husband got rid of 15 spiders within the first 30 mins. The vent in the lounge window broken. There were dead flies on the lounge floor. The handrail going upstairs was sticky, the carpet filthy. The kitchen windows were dirty. When we were packing to leave I dropped a hanger and when my husband picked it up, there was an empty biscuit wrapper behind the bedside cabinet.... the outside table and chairs had a broken chair. Had it been a hotel, you can change but after paying for a week we were stuck. Disgraceful. I don't pay through the nose for a week away to clean up someone else's dirt. The owner get 6 hours to turn the property around, putting clean towels in the property does not constitute a deep clean. Which should be the minimum after covid.
