Amazing holiday at Old Stables
Great time at Old Stables. Beautiful view and surroundings in fab location. Really well and thoughtfully kitted out holiday home with extras such as fans for each room , logs for fire, games , WII for the teenagers and beautiful clean pool. For a large party there was plenty of crockery, glasses, cookware and cooking appliances. Beds very comfortable and en-suites beautifully laid out . Would highly recommend.

Fantastic stay
The house was a perfect setting for our birthday celebration. Overall, we had a fantastic week, the views and grounds are absolutely incredible, the pool area is great, we thoroughly enjoyed cooking together in the large kitchen, and everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. There were a couple of very minor issues like the oven/hob not working perfectly but nothing that we couldn't work around or ask to be sorted. Piers was quick to respond to any queries. Thank you Piers and family for a wonderful week.

Elegant property with fabulous views
Great property; spacious, plenty of character and well equipped. Plus the view is outstanding, just like the picture!
The property was generally very clean, but we found a few random things under the sofa and behind the coat stand which had been left by previous occupants. The bbq was also left in an unclean state. Minor issues in a generally very clean place.
The pool was fantastic and makes this property great value. It’s a good size for a family, warm, and the booking system works well to ensure you get the place to yourself. Towels and dressing gowns are provided for the 2 minute walk between house and pool.
The owner was on hand to deal with any issues and was quick to respond to queries by email.
There didn’t seem to be a huge amount in the immediate (walkable) area, but there are plenty of interesting places to see and restaurants to eat at a short drive away. A couple of the better/smaller restaurants need to be booked in advance, and taxis are a little tricky to come by at short notice too. A good base for Bath and the Mendips.
Overall great value and highly recommended!
