“Lovely small cottage in pretty village.”

Parking space valuable at premises. Lovely bath towels and fruit, tea, coffee etc which we didn't expect. Bed fine. Note no internet at premises. How nice to get away from it all. We enjoyed it. Good walks for dogs in area as well, from the premises.

- Mr Smith, September 2019
“The cottage was very comfortable and in a splendid spot in a beautiful village where parking was at a premium, so our own parking place was fantastic.”

50 yards from 2 pubs where food was good. A good centre for getting about to see the area.

- Mrs Cowgill, August 2019
“Advertised as 5 star accommodation , definitely not.”

The cottage is very tired and needs the walls and the woodwork painting and the carpet replacing. Facilities include a washing machine but there was not one. The cutlery needs replacing as they are broken items and the kitchen glasses were chipped. VHS video tapes on the shelves. The welcome pack information booklet tells the story. All the information leaflets were printed in 2011 which says it all, regarding the LACK OF UP KEEP of Stable Cottage. The icing on the cake is that the cottage IS over run with WOOD LICE ........ EVERYDAY they can be seen scurrying on the carpet , climbing the curtains , on the kitchen work surface and in the bathroom. If you want to spend your holiday squashing WOOD LICE stay at Stable Cottage. !!!

- Mr Dixon, June 2019
“Stable Cottage is in an excellent location in the beautiful village of Castle Combe.”

We enjoyed exploring the area and found many places of interest to visit. The cottage itself was clean and comfortable and very well equipped with ample wardrobe space, although a chest of drawers would have been useful.

- Mrs Graddon, May 2019
“Our cottage was in such a lovely setting, quiet and welcoming.”

..the church clock chiming every hour all fitted in with the Ambience of the Village. There were plenty of walks , 2 pubs & picture opportunities a plenty. We will hopefully be revisiting...

- Mrs Goddard, May 2019
“We had a fantastic time at Stable Cottage, the cottage was situated in a quiet area just we wanted.”

The scenery was outstanding. A beautiful village with good pubs for meals out. Would highly recommend.

- Mrs Fisher, April 2019
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stable Cottage.”

It was extremely well equipped, in a perfect location and wonderful to have parking on our doorstep. We look forward to returning again soon.

- Ms Jemmett, March 2019
“We had a lovely holiday staying in Stable Cottage, it was perfect for a couple with good facilities and bags of character.”

The location of the cottage is amazing, tucked away in a quite lane of the quiet and beautiful village of Castle Combe. We'd definitely stay there again. The local pubs and manor are fantastic and it's a great location to set off from to explore more of the area. Pick up your shopping at a supermarket 15 minutes away (by car) and you can relax in amazing surroundings.

- Mr Bushill, March 2019
“We had a very relaxed few days away.”

It was comforting to know that we were welcomed to the cottage by the owner and the facilities far exceeded our expectations.

- Mrs O'neill, March 2019
“Well sighted in a very beautiful village.”

Although no immediate shopping facilities with a car this was not a problem and added to the beauty of our surroundings. We took our little dog and he had a whale of time which made our break well worth while. We will certainly visit again.

- Mrs Philp, December 2018
“Very warm and comfortable, location perfect, lovely muddy walks with the dog.”

Carly was very helpful with the DVD player which we had not used for years! TV could do with an update but we knew about this from previous reviews.

- Mr Bonnar, December 2018
“I have already emailed manor holidays to let them know we were unhappy about this property.”

we have used sykes before and were very happy. this place is not fit for purpose and i am surprised if you keep it in your portfolio

- Mr Hegarty, September 2018
“Excellent accommodation and very well equipped.”

The T.V. was a bit dated but perfectly manageable. We had a very pleasurable stay, if we were to complain about anything it would be that on our last evening at midnight a car arrived and parked outside our bedroom window . It was stated that we had the one and only parking space for this cottage. They were very noisy but worse still left at 3am, were even noisier than earlier, chatting, laughing and banging the car doors. Therefore it was a poor nights sleep before driving home.

- Mrs Breese, September 2018
“Lots of woodlice in the property and the bed was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in.”

sofa was not much better. The cottage is in the most lovely village where everyone was friendly but cottage needs to replace a few bits of furniture now, ideal location with lovely walks nearby

The property

Stable Cottage has the fortune of being situated in one of the most unique, picturesque and pretty villages in the Cotswolds - Castle Combe.

They really don't come much better than this - even in the poor rain!

Tucked down a very quiet lane that is just off the village 'centre' and no more than 40 seconds from two country pubs, this little beauty is gem of a holiday retreat.

Inside the cottage is open plan and furnished in a simple attractive style the kitchen is well equipped and modern, the living area very comfortable and warm and bedroom has large comfortable bed.

It may be simple but it is lovely and very charming.

Formerly a 17th Century stable, this barn has been carefully converted and yet retains all the character and feel of the original building, including a massive oak beam between the lounge and bedroom, the vaulted ceiling and thick stone walls.As you would expect in a village as beautiful as this, there are endless walks in all directions, and as well as the pubs there is also a tried and tested tea room which serves a classic afternoon tea!

Without doubt a classic country cottage, at an attractive price, but in the finest village in the area.

This is a must see village!
