“Short break”
Lovely few days at The Old Stables. Great accommodation, owners very welcoming. We had a great time exploring local area

“Meh.”
On entering the grounds, there was no one to welcome us. We did have the key code so just let ourself in. The old stables had what only looked like squashed bugs all over different parts of the walls and calling. It’s in desperate need for a paint! The bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was fairly clean but very small, but it was enough for what we needed. We did try to do some cooking in the kitchen provided; but the any slight bit of steam from the pans set the fire alarms off, even with all windows open. Our first morning we was woken at 8:30 by someone banging on the front door; we opened the door and a man presented himself, did not introduce who he was, but told us we were not allowed to park where we were, so we moved the car. The man was very rude and did wake us up. The son of this man did come to apologise, but unfortunately we were already up and had a bit of a rubbish start to the morning. We spent most of our time away from the old stables as we didn’t feel welcome at all. The old stables is close to the tor, so we did walk up that. Our further 3 days of the trip we spent in bath, cheddar gorge, and Longleat safari. We “checked out” at 9:55. Still nobody around to give keys to or say bye. So we put the keys back in the locked box and left. Overall, the old stables itself just needs a paint and someone to look at the cooker; other than that, it was what we needed to sleep there. It wasn’t a welcoming vibe. We did receive an email from the old mans son after we left apologising for actions of his father, which was a nice thing to do. Probably wouldn’t stay again if we was in the area as we look for more of a friendly environment. This accommodation is perfect to people who like to be left alone. I do recommend a trip to bath if you do stay in the area.

Response from the owner Thank you for the review, we are sorry that you did not feel welcome. I am a little confused about you saying you were not greeted as I came out personally the day you arrived and spoke with your husband and indicated where you could park the car, clearly there was a misunderstanding when you instead parked on the shared garden area which led to you being rudely woken up in the morning which I am sorry for, my father is retired and no longer has anything to do with the business as I had mentioned so it should have been me you had dealt with (I do not beleive he realised the time). As far as the cooker thank you for letting me know I will get this resolved promptly. The cottage had been painted in the winter but during the summer months when the bugs are out it can cause the paint to look old. That will all be rectified this winter when we renovate the whole cottage though. Sorry again you had the problems you did and thank you for the feedback, I can now make sure these problems are addressed and no one has the same problems again. As far the smoke alarm you are first to mention that problem so I will look into it and see what I can do to fix it. Kind Regards, Edd and Kim

This little building is like the Tardis! It feels so much bigger once you are inside. We liked the ready access to Glastonbury Tor, just up the lane, 15 minutes to the top. We also cook for ourselves … More

“Lovely experience”
Close to Glastonbury and the Tor ( we could hear people talking on the Tor from the garden!). The Tor bus stops at the top of the road so we used it to go to and from Glastonbury. Great accommodation. Very clean and spacious. Will be returning often. Jim made us feel very welcome.

“Disappointing and certainly not worth the money.”
Firstly the description of the property is a little misleading in as much as it is actually a converted garage and has no resemblance to an old stable at all. The interior was very basic and the furni… More
