Stable Mews Cottage

Reviews

A comfortable cottage with good facilities. Parking was good. Lounge was a bit cold at times - no double glazing and front door really needs replacing or curtain provided. Overall very acceptable and would stay again (in warm weather).

A lovely property ideally situated for the many National Trust and other like properties and gardens most of which were within a 40 minute drive at worst.

Nicely situated and well appointed. Very comfortable:)

The cottage is reasonably comfortable with plenty of kitchen equipment.

With a beautiful front garden and a pristine inside with lovely furniture that's extremely comfortable, this cottage has been the highlight of the past 5 years for us all. We all absolutely loved it and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The beds are so comfortable with lots of storage options in the rooms. The bathroom has a good pressure shower and no leaks! The kitchen has everything you could need including a washer/dryer in one, a dishwasher that works very well, and a range of stunning glasses/mugs/trays/plates. All the kitchen usables were gorgeous and there was even some oil and seasoning waiting there for us when we arrived. The front room has a beautiful comfy sofa that unfolds into a sofa bed although we didn't try it as we didn't need it. Its a lovely, pretty, quiet area, apart from some loud construction on the neighboring house on the last day. The size is perfect for 4 people however one bathroom can be slightly hard to navigate but usually it was fine. The stairs look slightly unstable near the top and some floorboards are a little out of place underneath the carpet which worried me but it was all stable enough for 3 big men and one woman although we had a rule of one person at a time on the stairs. The bathroom lock is quite tricky to work but the actual bathroom is a treat. We stayed here as we were performing at Black Deer festival, and safe to say it was the best decision we could've made! We preferred staying at the cottage than going out sometimes! The walk to town (for the shuttle bus and general shops) was intimidating at first as it's uphill but the second/third time you do it you start to appreciate it as it's quite quick, beautifully scenery and especially the turn into where all the cottages and apartments lay is beautiful. The walk to town took us about 10-15 minutes but we walk quite fast. When we had lots and lots of bags and suitcases to get there it took about 20-30, but it's so worth it. The only thing I will say is make sure you cross the road near the bottom of the hill as crossing by the opening is quite tricky and dangerous. WiFi worked very well we played lots of games and lots of monopoly! The front door even has a half and half door, meaning you can enjoy the beautiful sunlight while keeping half your door shut and it's such a comforting visual. TV was surprisingly good! When we saw it, bare in mind we all are quite techy, we thought it was just an old little TV that wouldn't work very well, but we connected our switches to it and it was rather good! Two fire alarms located near and in the kitchen which are quite sensitive so just make sure you know where they are. Freezer and fridge both extremely useful however I found the fridge had trouble with the magnets in the door and wouldn't stay shut sometimes. There's also a 20 minute walk away (an incredibly beautiful walk) from a big Sainsbury's which has very nice staff. The neighbours for this cottage are a delight. Specifically on the left with the conservatory a lovely old lady, who was funny and very sweet. Definitely recommend this. Thank you :) (sorry it's all out of the order)
