"A very comfortable and well equipped cottage, off the beaten track but not too far from shops, pubs and things to do."
We had an excellent response from Jane when the wifi started to play up and that was soon fixed. Sadly we had to cut our holiday short but it is a place we would like to come to again.

"Nicely presented comfortable and clean."
Tucked away in its own private garden. Near to Cheddar Gorge, Wells, Axbridge etc etc. The property was modern and very well maintained. Beds and sofas/chairs were comfortable. All on one level so no stairs to deal with. Enjoyed our stay. The owner couldn’t be more approachable or accessible if needed.
-
"We had a lovely week at stable cottage, everything was as it was stated in the listing, very clean, modern and spacious."
Nearby cheddar gorge was beautiful and only a short drive away, the sainsburys in cheddar was a welcome find. A lovely location and very peaceful, ample parking and a nice welcome from Jane. Highly recommended
-
"We enjoyed our stay very much at Stables Cottage."
The accommodation was comfortable, the decor was fresh and modern and the kitchen well equipped. It was in a lovely location for walking, with quite a few good walks from the cottage. We would return to this cottage for a future stay.

"We have had a lovely week in Stable Cottage."
The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. The area is nice and quiet. Parking is good. There is lots to do in the area and Cheddar Gorge is very close by and well worth a visit. Jane was very welcoming and available to answer any queries. A great stay!

"Excellent cottage, very clean, all the appliances you need to make an easy break away."
Complimentary milk, cake and tea bags lovely touch. Complimentary milk, cake and tea bags lovely touch. Very good size rooms en-suite as well as bathroom and even a washing machine. Only criticism is that on the website it quotes that the host will contact you via email with entry code, this didn’t happen and I had to message at 4 pm on the day of arrival and wait for a reply. Host meets you at the cottage which is a nice touch but would be better explained at time of booking to save any confusion . Overall excellent stay.

"Stable cottage was cosy and comfortable."
Kitchen was well equipped and clean. Cooker, washing machine and dishwasher easy to use. Bed comfortable but probably didn't need the extra mattress. Only complaint was that much of the crockery had been left dirty by previous occupants. We had to re-wash mugs, bowls and plates.
-

A pleasant and helpful owner on site who provided tea facilities and cake on our arrival.

"We had a lovely stay at Stable Cottage."
The cottage is in a beautiful and peaceful setting and well placed to visit Cheddar Gorge, Wells, Bath and the North Somerset coast. The cottage is comfortable, a good size, well equipped and was perfect for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers). The owner was friendly and had left us some scones and jam which were very welcome after our long journey! We would definitely recommend the cottage and the local area to others.

Spacious, quiet, comfortable and very clean too. I recommend without any hesitation. Just one suggestion....A few more glasses and cutlery would be nice.

"We very much enjoyed our stay in Stable cottage."
It was great for our dog with good information, doggy welcome box and safe paddock for ball games. The cottage was very comfortable and nicely furnished etc. My husband is disabled and the walk in showers and wide doorways made life very easy for him and us. It is in a lovely location with lots of walks and places of interest within a short drive.
Thank you for your kind comments Jane and glad you enjoyed your stay, It would be very nice to see you again. Property Owner
-
"A lovely cottage at the edge of a pretty village."
Easy walking distance to a village shop and 3 pubs selling excellent meals. The property was spacious, clean and very comfortable and two small outside spaces were provided for sunny days. The sure area is great for walking. Highly recommended.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday Julia and thank you for your lovely review. We would love to see you again. Property Owner

"We were greeted by the friendly owner Jane, who showed us around the property when we arrived."
She lives on site as she runs the riding school on the grounds so she was on hand if we had any issues or needed any help. What a lovely cottage, adjacent to 3 other cottages situated on the same site. Its all very modern and tastefully decorated throughout. The kitchen/dining area had everything we needed, immaculately clean with comfortable furniture. TV has Netflix so that was a bonus for us. The bedroom had a comfortable bed with more than adequate storage with a shower room and toilet en suite which was amazing. There was a second twin bedded room with another separate shower and toilet which wasn't needed by us but was just as nice. An extra bonus for us was they had a separate fenced paddock for exercising our dog while we were there . A lovely quiet place to stay in Somerset, not too far from local shops and pubs. a great base for travelling out to the southern Cotswolds, the Quantocks, Glastonbury, Cheddar and Wells. Would highly recommend.
It was lovely to meet you both and your dog. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your lovely comments. You would be welcome to return if you are in the area again. Property Owner

Jane is very good in responding to any little query and it was nice to meet her on arrival Location is very peaceful and facilities are great for lengthy stays The welcome scones, jam and clotted cream is a nice touch We stayed 16 nights and the location is great for exploring the Mendips , Wells and lovely local villages Can I suggest getting firmer pillows
Thank you for your kind review and helpful comments, Joseph. It was very nice to meet you and I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I will replace some of the pillows ! It would be very nice to see you again. Property Owner

"Absolutely fabulous cottage, well equipped, great location and we were greeted upon arrival by the host, even though due to the M25, we were quite late."
Lots of car parking with easy access to the cottage from the car. To sum the cottage up in one word - ‘cosy’. Just what we were looking and hoping for over the Christmas break. Cannot leave any negative comment, as there is nothing we would suggest could be improve upon. Very much looking forward to returning.
Thank you for your wonderful review Dennis, it is much appreciated and we would love to see you again. Property Owner

"Stable Cottage is probably the nicest holiday home we have ever stayed in."
When we arrived there was tea, coffee, sugar & milk supplied along with a lovely cake and fresh flowers, even our dog had a welcome pack. The whole cottage was immaculately clean and everything was finished to a high standard. The location was perfect, set along a quiet country lane so no traffic noise but close to all amenities. Having a safe, enclosed area for our dog to run around in was priceless. As a family we definitely want to return and can't recommend Stable Cottage enough
Thank you for visiting Stable Cottage Debbie and for your amazing review. It was lovely to meet you and we would love to see you again soon. Property Owner

"Great stay at Stable Cottage."
Great clean and welcoming property. All facilities as expected. While there we walked Crook Peak, Glastonbury, Cheddar Gorge, Bath, Wells, and even Weston. (Bracken the dog also felt at home). Nice walk to The Star ✨

"Absolutely first-class - very comfortable and lovely welcoming touches for the humans and the pups (although we did take a few throws for the furniture ourselves, there was a cover provided which is always reassuring when you share with dogs!"
) Would highly recommend the cottage, the area and the information given to visitors and we would definitely book again

"We loved our recent stay at Stable Cottage, with our dog."
We were welcomed by Jane on arrival. We felt very comfortable in our home from home, right down to milk in the fridge and lemon drizzle cake waiting with tea/coffee, and a welcome pack for the dog. The property was spotless and well-laid out for us. It was a good location for walks and hiking, close to Cheddar and Wells and a short walk to nearby pub. We couldn't ask for more.
Thank you for staying with us at Stable Cottage Shelley, and for your lovely comments. We hope to see you again. Property Owner
-
"It is a lovely cottage, cleverly designed so as to be completely private, and with lovely seating areas to catch both morning and afternoon sun."
There was a lovely welcome tea of scones and cream and flowers on the table. There was so much attention to detail it was easy to feel very comfortable. Will definitely love to come. Many thanks for a lovely stay.
So pleased that you enjoyed your stay Jenny. Thank you for your lovely review and please come again Property Owner

"Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!"
Communication was very easy and helpful. The cottage was spotless and very quite. A very good pub is within walking distance. Small shop for daily needs also. We made nice walks to the Mendip Hills, starting directly from the cottage. Beaches are 30min drive, Bath and Wells less than 60min. We can warmly recoomend this cottage.
Thank you so much for your kind comments Christoph. It was a pleasure to meet you all and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Cottage was lovely, everything you could need was available."

"We stayed 5 nights at stable cottage, a lovely little accommodation, had everything we needed, cottage was clean, modern and very comfortable and in great location, we enjoyed many days out during our stay here, the only thing I would say that could make it even better would be to somehow fix the draft that came through the lounge doors, that was very noticeable of an evening, that aside the cottage is beautiful and i’d highly recommend a visit."
Thank you for your kind review, Graham and for pointing our that the lounge doors were a bit drafty ( not helped by the 60 mph winds). We have now done our best to draft proof the doors so I am sure you would notice a difference. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Within a small group of cottages with the owner discretely on site if needed."
The cottage was very clean with comfortable beds and two well fitted out bathroom/wet rooms - would be great for wheelchair users. The kitchen was well equipped with dining table/chairs and adjoined the lounge area with sofa, two armchairs and TV. The utility room was great for drying off wet clothing. Very dog friendly with well fenced dog exercise field and doggy towels, bowls and treats provided. Some nice walks locally. Small gravelled garden to front and paved area to rear with garden table and chairs. Would thoroughly recommend.
Thank you for your great review Lindsay, it was a pleasure to have you to stay at Stable Cottage and we would love to see you again. It is lovely here in the Spring and summer. Happy New Year Jane and Pete Property Owner

"I have in recent years experienced two holiday cottages that failed to be described as advertised by Sykes."
However this cottage exceeds all expectations. It was superb. It was brilliantly clean. (special thanks to the staff who clean the cottage!) The kitchen wanted for nothing, except perhaps a whisk! (But who uses a whisk when on holiday?) The furniture was comfortable to sit on and relax. Netflix was a welcome addition to the facilities. The beds were just right. We all slept well. The wet rooms were immaculate and very, very clean. There was sufficient cupboard space for clothes. Wooden hangers were in abundance. The scones and jam and cream were a lovely touch as were the treats for the dogs that accompanied our friends. The addition of a dog field was welcomed by our 4 legged fiends and they really enjoyed the freedom to run around. This house was located in an ideal position to access Cheddar,( although the Caves are at present closed the gorge is still worth a visit) Wookey Hole, Axbridge ( a little gem and worth and afternoon visit) Wells (the smallest city in England, but not small on attractions, lots more besides the Cathedral) Bristol, Bath, Street as well as the coastal towns of Weston- Super- Mare, Clevedon,( great Victorian Pier) and Burnham and all those in between. The owner was across the driveway and was accessible if required. This property has to be a jewel in the crown for Sykes. They should be rewarding this owner with as many bouquets as is possible. We will be returning when we revisit in the future. There are many places to visit.
What an amazing and detailed feedback Jeremy, thank you very much. We are delighted to hear that you are planning a return visit and you will be most welcome. Kind Regards Jane and Pete Property Owner
-
"So glad I booked this holiday rental through Sykes, who kept me updated & informed."
Outstanding property in beautiful surroundings and the owners were very inviting and helpful. Highly recommend this property!!
Thank you for your kind words Eve. It was lovely to meet you and you would be most welcome to return anytime. The countryside here is even nicer in the Spring. Hope to see you again. Jane and Pete Property Owner

"We really appreciated the effort that had been put in to Stable Cottage, from the charming garden and patio to the decoration and facilities within the cottage."
As far as cleanliness goes, it was pristine! All our needs, and those of our dogs, we’re catered for and it was wonderful to just be able to relax and enjoy our holiday. We were very sorry to leave, and would thoroughly recommend this site to anyone.
We were sorry to see you go Valerie . Please come again and thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Kind Regards Jane and Pete Property Owner
-
"One of the best holiday lets we have come across - set up purpose built just a few years ago with excellent facilities."
In a beautiful rural area of the Mendips, and close to the coast. Free parking in Clevedon for 3 hours !! Great walks, recommend Blagdon Lake walk through the woods.
Thank you for your great review John. We hope you will return soon. Kind Regards, Jane and Pete Property Owner
-
"Lovely single storey cottage, ideally situated for visiting places of interest without having to drive long distances."
If we visit Somerset again in the future we would certainly return to Stable Cottage. Thank you for a comfortable stay Jane and the welcome pack, the scones, strawberries, clotted cream and jam were delicious!
You are very welcome Gill, and please return to Somerset again. With thanks Jane and Pete Property Owner
-
"Lovely cottage, very clean and tidy."
Good area with plenty to see and do not far from the cottage. Couple of good pubs serving good food and drink within walking distance. Highly recommend and would definitely come back.
Your recommendation is much appreciated Catherine and we would love to see you again. Many Thanks Jane and Pete Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay in Stable Cottage which is beautifully presented and spacious, with all of the facilities that are needed for a self catering holiday, including a fabulous drying room for your laundry and for wet coats etc."
On arrival we were provided with some lovely treats, including some for the dogs who also enjoyed the secure field where they could run about whilst we chilled on the picnic bench. There are several pubs within an easy walking distance and loads of different walks to try out. There are dog friendly beaches a shortish drive away and Cheddar Gorge is at the doorstep.
-
"Generally a good and comfortable property with welcoming hosts, situated in lovely countryside."
Can be issues with noise from heavy footed occupants of the property above. Listing photographs are misleading and need to be updated to reflect lower comfort outdoor and indoor furnishings.
-
"The cottage was very comfortable and homely, Owners are on hand to help with any queries."
Outside drying area would make this cottage perfect
-
"Fabulous cottage in a great base location for getting to all the main tourist attractions."
Jane the owner is very accommodating & the welcome pack left is a lovely touch. Shower facilities & comfy beds are just what you need after a good day out. Fab little find & so glad we found this little gem of a place to stay
-
"This is a lovely well thought through, comfortable, very clean holiday cottage, inside and out with the equipment you need for a weeks stay and the owners have clearly worked hard to make a great stay for guests, in particular the information about local attributes and amenities and we appreciated that."
The lack of privacy did change how we felt about the day to day living arrangements as the owners House a few meters away overlooks the property and if you chose to sit outside in the lovely front patio there is no privacy as it is overlooked. The rear patio is small boxy and fenced in that we used, to feel not overlooked but not exactly a pleasant space to while away some outdoor relaxing time. It really depends on what is important to individuals and therefore an acceptable arrangement for others but if a private not overlooked space is on the list of must haves, then this may not work.
-
"Lovely place to stay if you want peace and quiet ."
Just two minor things that could have been better are the back door was draughty, and the t.v. Could have been bigger. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay there.
-
"The area the cottage is located in is picturesque."
Loved Axbridge for the shopping. The cottage itself was beautifully presented and clean with excellent facilities.
-
"Stable cottage is a lovely little gem of a cottage."
It's a beautifully converted stables on a horse farm with its own enclosed little front garden and a back patio. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The front bedroom has a large wet-room and beside the twin bedroom there is another even larger one. The open-plan kitchen-diner-living room has everything you need, including a dishwasher. The Tv has free netflix and there is fast broadband. Jane and Pete have thought of everything to make our dog comfortable too. They provided him with a basket of towels, treats, and bowls. They have even provided an enclosed dog exercise field! Shipham is well placed for easy access to wonderful beaches, the Mendip Hills and wonderful places such as Wells, Glastonbury and Bath. We have had an excellent much needed week way.
-
"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.
-
"Very comfortable cottage, great location for a relaxing holiday."
Very dog friendly, they even have their own enclosed paddock for exercise.
-
"Fridge quite small for four people"
-
"Cottage was lovely and would thoroughly recommend"
-
"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!
-
"The hosts at our cottage was attentive and friendly."
I would highly recommend this holiday cottage
-
"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.
-
"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.
-
"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."
-
"We found the freezer box small so maybe a small freezer in the utility room would be an idea."
-
"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!
-
"Very enjoyable stay in a lovely location"
-
"The cottage was spotless and beautifully decorated."
The location was ideal for visiting local attractions.
-
"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.
-
"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.
-
"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.
-
"Excellent property would definitely recommend and visit again, great hosts a text away if they are needed"
