“Perfect cottage in a beautiful location”

Reviewed 8 Oct 2021

In the picturesque village of North Stoke, stunning scenery on nearby walking paths and only 10 minutes drive into Bath. The cottage is beautiful, lovely interior decorations and traditional features. Private hot tub on decking and a tennis court available for use, along with a heated pool in the summer months. We had a perfect stay and the host, Lisa, was so friendly and helpful with all our enquiries from the moment we booked. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at the stables! Property is lovely, cosy and clean - everything you could ask for. Loved the detail and extra touches and the facilities were fab too! The hosts were on hand to answer any questions and Mike came and had a chat with us which was lovely! It was the perfect 2 night stay, with something for everyone to enjoy - wish we could have stayed longer!

“Beautiful Bath cottage break”

Reviewed 9 Apr 2018

We stayed in the Stables for 2 nights with our two children aged 10 & 7. It was wonderful! The cottage is beautiful & in a lovely area surrounded by pretty countryside and rolling fields. The tennis court & rambling walk to the pub (the swan) helped to tire the children out so we could sit and relax in the hot tub and star watch in the evenings..followed by warming up in front of the fire and watch a film. The hosts have really covered everything & are lovely lovely people. My only recommendation to families is to bring a plug in night light for the children’s room or hallway ..as it is very dark at night time for little ones to navigate to the loo. We would recommend this cottage to anyone & we can’t wait to return for abit longer next time.

Response from the owner Many thanks Kaye for your review, and really glad you all enjoyed some relaxing family time. Also thank you for the suggestion of a night light for any younger guests, I will definitely make sure that there is one put in place.
