The Old Stables is a contemporary, self-catering barn conversion in a rural location on the Cotswold Way at the heart of a family-run farm just seven miles from the historic city of Bath. This countryside getaway sleeps five guests in three bedrooms, with two bathrooms, and has a spacious, open-plan living space with a fully equipped kitchen, wood burning stove and a dining area with bi-fold doors that open to a raised deck with a table and seating area and open views to the surrounding pasture and countryside. The property is perfectly located to explore the cities of Bath and Bristol, nearby Lacock, Castle Combe, Badminton Horse Trials, the Kennet & Avon Canal and Longleat Safari Park.

We really enjoyed our 6 night stay over Christmas. The Old Stables is a very well designed space that worked perfectly for our family of 5. It is super clean, with comfortable beds and sofas. The kitchen is well equipped and we had everything we needed at meal times. It is very quiet even though it is on a working farm. Our Grandson loved seeing all the animals. The location is great with super views and close to many places of interest. We loved the Christmas tree and the welcome pack thank you.

The house was exactly as shown on the website. We appreciated the large entrance lobby with plenty of space for outdoor coats and shoes. House was warm, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Good sized fridge/freezer, efficient oven, dishwasher and plenty of crockery.
Good location for Bath and Bristol. We used the park and rides for both locations and were very impressed with both.
Highly recommend Old Stables

We had a very happy week in the Old Stables. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful and were happy to show our granddaughter the horses and other animals on the farm which she loved. The location was great - near Bath and Bristol - and we also visited Westonbirt Arboretum which is not far away. The house was just right, spacious, warm and comfortable and very well equipped.



Very well equipped property and peaceful location

We were visiting our two grandchildren, energetic boys aged 11 and 8, and were extremely grateful to have the Old Stables to retreat to and recharge our batteries for the next days activities!!
The property has everything that you would wish for in a holiday let, and is very spacious and clean. Underfloor heating meant it was warm and welcoming in the evening so we could relax in comfort. Comfortable beds meant an excellent night's sleep (much needed!!).

Excellent location, close to both Bath and Bristol, with Longleat about an hour away - all of which were visited and enjoyed.

We would certainly recommend this property.

Somewhat in the middle of nowhere but a perfect location to get to most places nearby in all directions. Lovely accommodation with room for the kids to play inside. Bonus tours of the farm and animals available if you ask nicely :)

Really lovely pre-Christmas weekend with my sister and our two adult daughters. Brilliant location, less than 20 minutes easy drive into Bath, yet felt like we were out in the countryside at Old Stables with its livery yard and working farm. Easy check-in and out via key in lockbox, all worked well, welcome milk, wine and mince pies and a plentiful supply of tea, coffee and sugar in the kitchen - everything we needed for our short stay. Friendly but unobtrusive hosts, available via mobile if needed, living on site and kindly offering a tour of the livery yard and farm - but we had a full weekend planned so didn’t take this up! Log burner made us feel very Christmassy, although we had to get firelighters and kindling when we were out so couldn’t use it until the Saturday evening - perhaps we just couldn’t find them, though, and it wasn’t a big enough deal for us to bother the hosts with a Friday night call. Books, games and jigsaws provided for adults and children. Pillows were very hard but some of us had taken our own anyway, based on years of experience! Easy booking and then subsequent information via a guest portal, along with hard copy on arrival. Perfect for our weekend treat, thank you

We absolutely loved staying at The Old Stable … it’s gorgeous, a great location and there is so much to see and do. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful. The house itself is a beautiful conversion and is kitted out with everything you could possibly need. We loved that it was on the edge of their farm - seeing horses, cows and sheep from the windows every day. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back!
