Guests say
The Stables offers a peaceful countryside retreat with beautiful views, friendly and attentive hosts, and the added charm of horses and dogs on site. Guests consistently praise the comfort of the beds, the relaxing hot tub, and the spacious, well-equipped accommodation. The location is ideal for exploring local attractions and nearby villages. While a few minor maintenance and cleanliness issues were noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return and highly recommending the property.
Most guests found the property spotlessly clean and well maintained, though a couple of reviews mentioned minor issues such as floor cleanliness on arrival and some mould in the downstairs toilet sealant. These were exceptions rather than the norm.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and ideal for exploring the surrounding area. Guests appreciated the countryside views, proximity to local attractions, and the nearby village pub.
Comfort is a standout feature, with numerous guests highlighting the exceptionally comfortable beds, spacious living areas, and effective heating. Only one guest mentioned a personal preference for firmer pillows.
Facilities such as the hot tub, firepit, and well-equipped kitchen are highly praised. Some minor suggestions for improvement included oven performance and the addition of air conditioning during hot weather, but overall satisfaction is very high.
Guests frequently mention the warm welcome from the hosts and thoughtful touches such as a decorated Christmas tree. While some would have appreciated a welcome pack with basics like milk, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

The Stables was a great property to stay at in a good location. Wonderful views across the countryside and waking up with the horses each morning was great. The owner was always on hand and helpful. The hot tub and firepit were perfect for a relaxing break. The living space and bedroom was very comfortable.

5 star accommodation. Owners are lovely. The Stables is very spacious. With everything you need. Very clean. It has views over the paddocks. It's a great place for the local attractions, like Glastonbury, Cheddar gorge, Haynes museum and much more. Highly recommended It is dog friendly too. But if your dog does not like horses. Beware their are horses close by and it is their home. It was lovely, our dog loved them

Beautiful lodge situated on a quiet and relaxing site which is home to an equestrian centre. It was lovely waking up and seeing the horses in the field. Everywhere we wanted to visit was in driving distance so the location of the lodge was perfect for our needs. The lodge was really warm on arrival but we had come equipped with our portable aircon as we had 2 small babies. It would be a massive bonus if they supplied this for other guests in the future. The beds were super comfortable and felt like you were sleeping on a cloud. The only negatives I would give would be the quality of the oven was dire. Things took and age to cook and would either end up burnt of just under. Also the cleanliness of the floors when we first arrived as stated above we have 2 small babies that are crawling and the colour of their feet and hands weren’t great. Managed to grab some floor wipes and give it a once over. I understand this won’t bother most guests but it was important for us with having 2 active babies. Thank you for a great stay.
