Description
Naunton 1.4 miles Hetty's Stables is a beautiful semi-detached barn conversion which sleeps seven guests, in three smart bedrooms, with three well presented en-suite bathrooms. Named after the family's beloved first pony, this recently converted property has been finished to a high standard with modern facilities including wireless internet access, a Freeview TV, underfloor heating in the ground floor living areas and a well-equipped kitchen.
There is a private patio area at the rear of the property and beyond this lies a vast lawn which is shared with Flynn's Barn. Sat within the grounds of Aylworth Cottage, guests are welcome to wander the eight acres of land which form the owners estate, and for keen riders, horses can be stabled in the paddocks by prior arrangement with the owners. There is off-street parking for up to three cars on the shared driveway at the front of the property.
Hetty's Stables is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Aylworth, a picturesque spot in the heart of the Cotswolds which offers an abundance of walking, riding and cycling trails. Footpaths crossing the neighbouring fields lead to the nearby villages of Naunton, Cold Aston and Guiting Power, all home to popular country inns including The Black Horse Inn and The Hollow Bottom. The much-loved village of Bourton-on-the-Water is only four miles away and can be walked to following The Windrush Way walking trail, a scenic route over the hills which links Winchcombe to Bourton. Bourton has a range of pubs, restaurants and tearooms to enjoy and in the quiet hamlet of Notgrove stands The Nuttery, a newly opened community hub which serves delicious food during the day.
Whilst enjoying a tranquil rural setting, Hetty's Stables is ideally located for exploring the many lovely towns and villages of the North Cotswolds including Stow-on-the-Wold, The Slaughters and Broadway. The regency spa town of Cheltenham is just 12 miles away, host to an impressive calendar of festivals including the renowned Cheltenham Festival, one of the most popular horse racing events in the UK. World-famous tourist destinations such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, Blenheim Palace and Bath are all easily accessible for day trips.

What guests are saying
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hettys stables.
The accommodation was spacious and the children loved the outdoor space. We ha everything we needed. Great location, close to various towns. We walked to Bourton which took 2 hours but lovely and peaceful walk. Owners were very welcoming and helpful. We would look to stay again
Overall is a very good experience, nice and quiet place.
The place is as per description.
We really enjoyed our stay at Hetty’s Stables.
It’s a little tricky to find but in a beautiful location. It’s great for exploring many of the villages. We were welcomed by the host and there were fresh eggs, milk and biscuits. The cottage was very clean and comfy. Our only problem was the sink in the master bedroom was small and had a low shelf directly above it, which meant it was tricky for you to have a wash in. So you had to use another bathroom. Kitchen was well equipped. Garden area was also lovely.
