Mrs Abbinnett
October 2020

“The Stables was everything we'd hoped for, beautifully presented and very warm, which was greatly appreciated on arrival after a long, very wet journey.”

And the scones, strawberry jam and cream were an extremely welcome addition to that first cup of tea. For access to places of interest eg, Cheddar, Wells and Glastonbury we couldn't have picked a better cottage.

Mrs Stoneham August 2020

“A thoroughly enjoyable week with our son and Labrador!”

We arrived rather later than anticipated but our hosts were so welcoming and friendly. The cottage was beautifully presented and the setting on the farm/stables is lovely. Comfy beds and everything you need and more (we were delighted to find and enjoyed very much the welcome scones left for us - thank you!). Great to have a secure dog waking field on site and lots of lovely walks nearby too - beach and countryside. Also really close to other local attractions (Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole and a great little find at Puxton Park). A great cottage for exploring Somerset or for walking, we’d definitely return. Thanks Jane and Pete!

Mrs Stephens July 2020

“We had a fabulous time, the cottage surpassed our expectations as it was even nicer than the photographs.”

It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is ideal for visiting Weston Super Mare, Burnham on sea, Cheddar Gorge and many other locations. The hosts welcomed us (from a social distance) and we really appreciated the cream tea provided for us. Given the current pandemic the hosts had clearly made sure that the accomodation was Covid safe. We'd love to go back next year. Thanks Jane and Pete.

“This cottage was absolutely beautiful, Everything in it was immaculate.”

Easy access for my wheelchair lovely spacious wet rooms. Nice wide doors which made it also easy access for my wheelchair. There isn’t many places you would find this beautiful for a wheelchair user and dog friendly. Thank you Jane for such a lovely stay at your beautiful cottage

“My wife and I have travelled the globe for the last 40 years.”

Occasionally we have found a real gem - and Stable Cottage is certainly one of them. Lovely owners, very quiet, great location and very well thought out. Everything in the cottage works properly, it's beautifully finished and maintained - in fact perfect.

Mrs Clarke December 2019

“Stable Cottage was a lovely cottage, all the furnishings were of good quality, the kitchen had everything we required and the wet room/bathroom was brilliant.”

Both the back patio and the small front garden were secure for the dog and Jane had left towels to wipe our dog down as well as dog treats and bowls. She also left a tub of Quality Street for us which was very much appreciated. Jane was very welcoming and explained how to get to the village and where we could walk the dog. We had only booked in for 3 nights over New Year and when we left we felt that we would like to come back for a week in the summer as there was so many places we wanted to visit. Would definitely recommend staying at Stable Cottage.

Mr Thomas November 2019

“A warm welcome from Jane on arrival,a spotlesley clean modern property,2 wet rooms which was great as the four of us not 21 any more,lovely utility room with washing machine and plenty of facilities to hang coats and hang clothes to dry,for a property to stay in this area in the future we don't need to look any where else.”

- Mr Thomas, November 2019
Mrs Perkins October 2019

“We found the freezer box small so maybe a small freezer in the utility room would be an idea.”

- Mrs Perkins, October 2019
Mrs Holmes October 2019

“We had a fantastic holiday at Stable Cottage.”

Lovely comfortable set up, in a quiet rural area which was perfect for us and our 2 young children. There was plenty to do nearby with easy access to Bristol and Bath for day trips. Thank you very much for the welcome and cream tea!

Mr Wesson August 2019

“For my wife and I it was a very good place for us and dog friendly as some places you go to are not as good as Shipham Farm.”

Items for the dog are their and Jane and Pete are very good hosts.The welcome pack of a cream tea and milk and coffee was also very good.Once you settle in you find places to go and not that far away.Reserch before you go to see the sights is a must.Travelling on the roads to see places can be a bit hectic and you have to keep your wits about you.All in all we had a great time.

- Mr Wesson, August 2019
Mrs Kaiser August 2019

“The cottage was delightful and in a very peaceful and rural location.”

My husband is fairly disabled and we found the cottage very accessible apart from a small patio at the rear of the cottage which had to two deep steps down and was very close to electricity pylon, so did not really want to sit there! Otherwise everything perfect.

- Mrs Kaiser, August 2019
Mrs Lipton June 2019

“Stable Cottage is an ideal location as there are plenty of attractions and things to do relatively close by.”

Although we do not mind travelling to attractions a bit further afield.. Wookey Hole Caves was brilliant a short drive away in the City of Wells, and the Catheral is a must to look around.

- Mrs Lipton, June 2019
Mrs Eden June 2019

“Excellent property would definitely recommend and visit again, great hosts a text away if they are needed”
