The stay was great, lovely location in a quiet village. Parking for 1 car . The stables was comfortable & very homely. The hosts were pleasant and helpful. . Only feedback for hosts to consider would be the consideration of a screen or higher fencing to separate The Stables from the landlords main property. Although there is no feeling of being oveRead morerlooked there would be a preference of having complete privacy. Would go again no negatives to report all positive. Hide

Very quiet, restful holiday, wonderful hot tub. Could be a lovely cottage with a few improvements. Some good places to eat a fairly short distance away. Village does not have the facility of a small shop or pub.

We had a fantastic stay at The Old Stables. It was clean and modern, yet cosy. The bed was the comfiest we have ever had away from home. The hot tub & bathroom adds a little piece of bliss after day exploring beautiful Somerset.
