"Spacious, comfortable & well decorated/furnished bungalow."
Pretty & well maintained garden. Lovely view over fields. Courtyard seating area not as photos depicted on website, it’s very neglected. The basics were clean, but generally needs a deep clean & attention to detail. Had an issue with the water pressure in the hot water tank, but fixed promptly. A good base, conveniently situated to explore the local area.
Linda, many thanks for your review. We’re pleased that you found the property spacious, comfortable and well furnished and that you found the garden pretty and well looked after. I agree with you that the courtyard garden in mid April does not depict the photos of the internet that were taken in mid summer. Sadly a few more weeks are needed for the charm to re-emerge. Each year we wait in anticipation for the wisteria to wake for the spectacular cascade of purple flowers and foliage that covers the pergola walkway and the peonies that line the edges. For now at least we are left to enjoy what few daffodils are still flowering, the tulips that are currently taking the staring role and watching the alliums begin to skyrocket before flowering along with the shrubs emerging from winter now that spring has truly arrived. A true gardener can enjoy the garden at all times of year watching the cycle of the plants before the grand finale in the height of summer - At which point throwing the outdoor cushions onto the garden furniture and you’re in an oasis of calm in a secret garden in the heart of the farmyard.
We’re also pleased you found the basics clean and tidy. The house is blocked off for a week in mid May for redecoration, general maintenance and a deep clean of areas that aren’t always possible on the short amount of time allocated between guests.
Should you be holidaying in the area again please do not hesitate in considering us. Martin Property Owner

Easily space for six to spend time comfortably together. The attention to detail and high spec finish are commended. Lots of space both inside and out. Beautiful gardens surrounding the property. Martin is a friendly and welcoming host. (Thank you for the delicious eggs!).

"Great place , well equipped, and beautiful surroundings ."
Only downfall was it would of been nice to have some milk in the fridge but eggs very much appreciated.
Hello Katrina, Many thanks for your review. So pleased you enjoyed the property and its surroundings. Sorry about the milk - as farmers we only tolerate putting in full fat creamy milk . We learnt in the past that this isnt to everyones 'cup of tea' (excuse the pun) and is often a waste. However here at nables we specilise in Organic free range eggs so we're glad our girls compensated by laying you some delicious eggs that are available aplenty. We hope to see you again some time if your holidaying in the area. Martin Property Owner

Only issue want to point out is with the television reception - only had 4 channels, all BBC. When there is a tv addict in the party it’s a problem.
Aside from that would definitely recommend and will return.

"Absolutely loved the place and it was beautiful and spacious, close to lots of fun days out and surrounded by really beautiful scenery."
Enjoyed cosying up in front of the fire each night and waking up to see all the cows and chickens in the fields next to us. The only thing that could have been improved on was the overall cleanliness, ie there was a fair bit of dust in the bath and around the beds/windows.

"What a wonderful find!"
More spacious than it looks in the photos, well appointed with comfy beds and high end linens. Great kitchen for the cooks among us. So many places to visit close by and further afield. The autumn colours in the garden were beautiful, with the statues peeping out between the morning mist and colourful leaves. Martin sorted out our minor technological problem in no time and happy to talk about the farm. And those eggs were delicious. Definitely recommend
Hi sally. Thank you for the review. I’m glad you enjoyed the house and gardens in all its autumnal splendour.

"We have just had the most wonderful stay at this amazing Farmhouse ."
We stayed for a week and wished it was longer.
From the welcome of tea,coffee milk and the best eggs ever, we knew we had made the right choice. It was spotlessly clean and 5 star throughout .Martin the owner was so nice and we are happy he has such luxury accommodation that we are able to visit. Lovely local farm shops around and wonderful Castle Combe is minutes away. If you want peace and quiet and comfortable, clean accommodation, this is it. The wrap around garden and it's seating and fixtures were a pleasure . Other properties are on site so fantastic if your with a big family.
I'm sorry, but the secret is out, however you should share the best of things shouldn't you??
We will absolutely be back again and again.
Hello Debbie. What a joy it was to host you and your family. The real reason for why we love opening the gates and allowing people to stay on the farm. I look forward to seeing you again in February and again later on in the year in October.

"A lovely spacious property in very pleasant location, spoiled by poor cleaning."
(thick matted dust and other occupants 'debris' under beds, furniture and chair cushion!) Neglected and overgrown courtyard and garden - not as shown on website. Noisy fan in roof space above single bedroom and poor, intermittent water supply to shower and bath. Very damp smell in cloakroom. No bin bags in rubbish bins
Owner very pleasant and generous.
Hello John. Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased you enjoyed your holiday and the property however I am disappointed in your comments regarding cleanliness and the garden. We try our upmost to clean the property each time to a high standard so it saddens me to read that you found debris and dust when moving furniture away from walls and moving heavy bed frames to check.
Likewise our gardener was saddened to read your comments on the gardens which he takes great pride in. You are right however that the gardens look nothing like the photos as you stayed at the end of autumn when the photos on the website were taken in full bloom in early summer. The garden takes on a charm on its own in autumn with leaves turning and falling, perennials dying back and the tiredness of a full and long summer season of growing coming to an end. Cutting back the garden is done in early spring before the garden comes back to life again and not in late autumn when you can damage or destroy the plants and shrubs. That said the lawns are still being mowed when the weather permits and fallen leaves swept.
I am sorry there were no bin bags on arrival however this was rectified within half an hour if you arriving. And lastly the noise you mention is the hot water tank that sits above the bathroom next to the twin bedroom. For any light sleepers this can be placed on a timer.
I hope the above goes some way to alleviate your concerns and should you be holidaying in the area again then we’d be more than happy to host you again.
Kind regards Martin. Property Owner

"The bungalow was in an idyllic location on the farm, overlooking the fields with views of cattle roaming and free range chickens in abundance."
We loved watching them from the living room and kitchen. The accommodation itself was beautiful, with three good sized bedrooms, with very comfy beds, and the bathrooms were just great. The living area and kitchen were all spacious and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The décor and furnishings were also lovely. The spacious garden and terrace were an additional bonus, and we enjoyed sitting out in the garden for a few hours each day. The only slight negative comment that I have, is the fact that the ovens on the range cooker could have done with a good clean. They were covered in splashes of something that looked like something had exploded in the oven. It was still perfectly usable though, could just do with a good clean. All in all, it was a home from home and would definitely stay again, we had a lovely time in this beautiful bungalow and its surroundings.

"Well maintained property set within a beautiful garden to relax in."
Numerous planted tubs, baskets, flower beds, shrubs and trees. Your own private estate which is a credit to the gardener who has brought it back to life. Highlights of the property has to be the main bathroom which you would expect to be seen in the penthouse of a five star hotel. The eat-in kitchen with its large induction range cooker will please budding chefs. The farm is well maintained. Don't think muddy yard and barns but well maintained free range chicken sheds at a distance (suppliers to Able & Cole) with cattle and goats in the fenced surrounding fields. Great location for visiting somewhere new everyday. Negatives, numerous flies around in June and the TV signal fades away at times due to the valley location. We would visit again.

"This property is best described in terms of superlatives."
Every aspect of the property and its management is worthy of high praise. Take the ‘welcome pack’ where it is quite common for owners to provide the basic staples on arrival. Here it is taken to a new level with free range eggs from a local farm – delicious and astonishingly fresh and Florentine luxury dark chocolate biscuits. The property is light and airy, not surprisingly, with a total of four sets of French doors. The house is tastefully decorated in the contemporary style and all of the equipment within is the very latest and of a high specification. The massive kitchen provides an informal hub as well as top level practical equipment in terms of induction hob range cooker, mega American style fridge freezer, dishwasher and a host of quality minor appliances. Cookware is by Raymond Blanc and crockery by Denby. To buttress the kitchen is a utility/boot room with washer and tumbler drier and cloakroom WC and yet more cupboards. The sitting room is comfortable and large but cosy with an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove to complement the efficient central heating. Both bathrooms have the walk in step free shower wet-room well executed with digital shower controls and underfloor heating. All three bedrooms are comfortable and spacious doubles and the configuration means that every bedroom either has its own WC and basin or is next to one. The extensive gardens, which almost surround the property, should more properly be termed grounds and even here there are two raised beds with herbs growing in them. There is a sheltered sitting area with suitable furniture in the formal garden area. There is ample parking for three vehicles right outside the bungalow.
