Beautiful property , excellent location, very good customer care.
It only needs some attention to maintenance (the upstairs bathroom was leaking and the hot water runs out a bit too quickly.

We loved our time at the Stables. It was specious and well-appointed with an easy and quick drive into Bath. We loved trying the Aga and there was everything you could think of in the kitchen. We especially appreciated the Christmas touches.

The only thing I can think of that would be helpful would be a better explanation of recycling. I wanted to do it correctly, but it's handled differently than in the U.S.

Overall, our visit was perfect and iI'd recommend to anyone.

We stayed in The Stables in June 2022 and were not disappointed with our return visit. The only quibble was lack of a dishcloth/cleaning cloth (worktops and oilcloth need wiping down) and heat from Aga because it was unseasonably warm. Left messages on both contact phones but no reply (from son of named contacts) until midday Tuesday. The very pleasant chap who mowed the lawn on Monday produced a J cloth. Upstairs bedrooms cooler once heaters turned off and the windows and doors left open.
This isn't a complaint but just an observation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the Stables, it had everything we needed and couldn’t have asked for more. Matthew was a great host and made sure we were comfortable and was easy to contact if we needed anything. The location is great, peaceful and quiet, and only a short journey into Bath. We had a good couple of days exploring, going into Bath (we booked a taxi for the short journey which was really simple), we did the river boat tour, followed by Sunday lunch at the Bathwick Boatman, which was lovely and we managed to avoid the rain, it was a great day! We also visited Dyrham park the following day which was good too. The fish & chips takeaway from Robbie’s Plaice just down the road from the Stables was good and the breakfast in the Gather Cafe was also very nice. We definitely would recommend the Stables and wouldn’t hesitate to come back in the future.

We absolutely loved this cottage! We were working over the weekend locally so needed a base and were only sad not to have been able to enjoy this gorgeous home from home for longer! The cottage had everything you'd need and there was so much space. The location was beautiful and the owners were always there to help with anything you needed. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed for 3 nights as a group of 5 adults in August 2022. The property is tucked away in a quiet, rural location on the outskirts of Batheaston. Everything you need is there and it is an excellent base for exploring Bath and the Cheddar Gorge area. The only criticism is that the upstairs bedrooms get very warm, despite having velux windows. Apart from that, everything else about the property was very good.

We stayed at the Stables to catch up with family in Bath. Beautiful accomodation and we were made very welcome by the hosts.
It was very clean and well equipped and a fabulous location for visiting Bath and surrounding area. Also able go on walks straight from the house, which was a bonus. Would definitely stay there again.
