"We had a fantastic break away at the stables, the cottage was really well equipped and very cosy with the log burner."
We could see the cobwebs mentioned in previous reviews but the ceilings are so high up it was not an issue, otherwise we found the cottage to be clean and tidy.
We were concerned about how secure garden area was for keeping the dog from roaming but we had no issue’s with this, our Great Dane stayed safely in the garden although we did keep a constant eye on him as he would have been able to get over the fence/gate with a jump but he is a very large dog!
Minor point, the battery is low in the kitchen scales so will need replacing soon and couldn’t find a wash basket to transport wet clothes from washing machine to clothes rack.
The location is perfect for seeing lots of attractions in both England and Wales, plus we liked the proximity to an A road (couple minutes drive) so you get the peace and quiet of the rural area without the stress of lengthy narrow rural roads.
Overall we had a wonderful stay, I would have loved to stay longer and the welcome processco was a lovely touch as it was our anniversary too.
Thanks for a lovely holiday.

"Such an amazing cottage."
All the little extra luxuries you have at home making our stay so comfy. The log burner was amazing in the evening and the local walks were glorious. We ran out of fire wood mid week so popped to the local nursery a short walk away and they gave us more for free as they also own the cottage. So many sweet little towns not too far. The coffee shop in Berkeley was splendid, my teen recommends the milkshake! All in all a wonderful week away!

"The Stable is in a great location."
Our family live nearby, so it was ideal for being able to pop over and spend time with the grandchildren after school.
It was well equipped to enable us to prepare meals, which included a couple of BBQs during the week.
We have a dog and was happy that the outside area was secure. Although it is a shame that we couldn’t walk safely, directly from the accommodation. We took the car to North Nibley to park up and use footpaths from there.
The Stable was clean and comfortable generally but there were quite a few cobwebs in the bathroom and bedroom that could easily have been cleaned away before our arrival
The provisions that were left for us on arrival were most welcome. We would certainly return if our usual accommodation wasn’t available

The cottage is cosy, really well equipped and very homely. The garden is enclosed so perfect for the dog.

"The owner when we eventually got through the Monday before our holiday they said Sykes had been told a few times about the second bedroom ."
They did put a camp bed in it for us, but on your listing it said second bedroom could be two singles or a double on request. This is not the case. Our son from USA did not expect to be sleeping on a camp bed for the week, and our other son had health issues so the truckle bed was very hard. It was improved slightly with the mattress topper out of the cupboard. If we had know this before we would have booked elsewhere

Stables on a good location and well presented . Property needing some TLC. Main bedroom bed supports damaged. The scratches on the floor under the bed indicate this issue had been ongoing for sometime . The bed feels like it will collapse every time you sit on it . Bath panelling poor condition. Toilet brush in loo stinks and should be replaced . Inadequate hot water available. Not enough water for one bath let alone two on any day we were there . Outside area needs jet washing . Outside lighting bulb garland under gazebo not working . Sex toys discovered in the bedside table in the main room , what made this even worse was this was discovered by my children who wanted to know what they were.

"We enjoyed our stay but would have appreciated it if the heated towel rail in the bathroom had worked as there was no ventilation in the bathroom and the towels did not easily dry."
None of the electric wall heaters worked either and it was quite cold at times as the weather was unusually cold, wet and windy for July.
The overall cleanliness of the property was okay but some of the crockery and cutlery needed washing before use and clean towels halfway through the week would be good. The bed in the second bedroom was not very comfortable and it would be better if there were proper twin beds which could suit the needs of couples, friends or children more specifically.
However, the property was well designed and spacious, it was in a good location for trips to Slimbridge wetlands centre, Gloucester, Cirencester, and Berkeley Castle, we also visited the Cotswold wildlife park in Burford which is well worth a visit and has beautiful gardens and lots of animals and birds to see. There are large supermarkets like Lidl, Sainsburys and Tesco in Dursley a 15 minute drive away.

"Thank you Jayne for providing such a lovely place to stay."
The holiday let was clean, fresh and modern. A very comfortable spacious living area that held everything we could possibly need. Lots of welcoming little treats which were a wonderful touch and very much appreciated. My only slight criticism was the bedroom lighting. The hanging bedside lights extremely bright and not individually activated. The bedside candle lights although pretty, were not bright enough to read. But the positives of our stay out weigh this small niggle entirely.
The added bonus of the nesting swallows in the outside canopy was delightful and we were fortunate to see all five fledglings take their maiden flight before we returned home. What a joy to see!
We enjoyed our stay and the beautiful countryside with its lovely trails
immensely and will highly recommend it to our family and friends.

It’s fantastically clean and I still can’t get over how nice it smelt in there considering dogs are allowed. The welcome flowers, wine, scones etc were an unexpected bonus and really made us feel that bit more welcome. Any contact with Jayne was pleasant and made clear to be in touch if we needed anything.
The ONLY slight thing I see that could be improved for the dogs is just the height of the chicken wire on the fencing. It only goes half way up. Luckily 1 of our boys is obedient and the other too old to jump through so wasn’t a problem for us. But just a small fix to make it extra secure for the pooches.
We shall certainly be returning and can’t wait.

"A nicely presented holiday home in a convenient location for days out in all directions."
Nice welcome pack. Constructive criticism: A shelf for toiletaries in the bathroom would helpful. Bathroom towel rail was hot enough to burn my finger when accidently briefly touched, suggest reducing temperature. There is a HOT warning sign, but question if this is adequate given the burn risk. Suggest moving the games stored in wardrobe so that the whole space can be used for visitors clothes. General waste bin outside was full on arrival and remained so until I enquired and thankfully it was promptly attended to.
Thank you for your constructive criticism, it’s always good to hear where improvements can be made, and these issues will be dealt with.
I hope your weeks stay wasn’t compromised because of this.

"I particularly rang the owner to ensure that the GARDEN was secure and that I could let my dog out, and was told that it was."
I don’t call a fifteen inch mesh, and a gate with wide gaps secure, also I don’t call 2 patches of artificial grass and a pebble driveway a dog friendly garden. The lights in the main bedroom , unless we missed something, were absolutely useless, not much better than a candle. I did not know what a trundle bed was until I was there, and tried to call the owner to get it changed, I had no reply,so spent an uncomfortable week on what is more like a sofa.
I would not recommend this property unless these issues are addressed.

It was also disappointing that the owner, who lives next door, did not find time to to visit during our two week stay and help address some minor queries that we had. We did try to meet but had to make telephone contact to ask about towel and bedding change arrangements mid holiday.

"The site said there would be WiFi."
That’s one of the reasons we booked this property because of prepping our day trips. First days we had WiFi but this was unstable and for 9 days we had no WiFi at all. We contact Sykes and on their advice the owner. After several contacts and someone to try to fix it it was still not working. We had to multiple 4G bundles...
For the rest the property was fine! And of course we had al lovely holiday cause the location gives you so many possibilities for things to do!!

"Thought from brochure there were 2 double bedrooms."
Found the beds in smaller bedroom had been combined into a single bed of at most 2ft 6ins wide
so tallish middle aged daughter banged her head on the wall when she turned over.
We realised there was no garden but thought from the picture that there were strips of grass in the front. On arrival we realised these were artificial grass.
The only near place for the dog to use was grass along the narrow verge of the road outside the cottage gate. Not ideal.

"Beautiful property with absolutely everything you need for a stay away from home."
Luxury gifts left by the owner were a lovely surprise & gratefully received.
Property is in a really lovely area, lots of places to visit, however you definitely need a car to get around. Berkeley Castle & Slimbridge Wetlands Centre are good days out & not far away.
We would definitely stay here again.

"Wonderful, really clean, spacious, high spec, well designed holiday home."
Great attention to detail, everything provided, home from home. We really enjoyed our stay, although no internet for a week which was inconvenient.. However owner aware and tried her best with the provider, even offering her own internet as compensation. But not the best area for wifi if its important to you. Otherwise faultless!

"The cottage was clean, spacious with lovely furnishings; it has all the facilities you could need."
In fact the owners have thought of most things. There were some nice touches too such as prosecco, chocolate Easter bunnies and hot cross buns left for us as well as essentials like milk and coffee. The cottage was perfect for a couple plus dog and a 15 months old (the highchair was appreciated too). Only two suggestions for improvement, heavier curtains in the bedrooms to help block out the light and unfortunately the broadband was very patchy which stopped us watching films in the evening (down to the provider I would say).
