Park Stables

We stayed at Park Stables and we can say with certainty that it was just a perfect experience from every point of view.

The structure turned out to be extremely comfortable and functional, ideal for both families and groups of friends. The spaces are large, well organized and tastefully furnished: each environment transmits a feeling of welcome and relaxation. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with really comfortable beds, while the common areas - in particular the living room with fireplace and the fully equipped kitchen - make the stay even more pleasant. One of the aspects that we appreciated the most was the general comfort of the house: everything is designed to make the stay simple and stress-free, from the presence of several bathrooms to the kitchen equipped with every need, to the private parking and the outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing. The cleanliness was also impeccable and the house was in excellent condition. The location is another strong point: quiet but at the same time strategic for visiting the surroundings, with splendid walks directly accessible from the property. This makes everything even more practical and enjoyable, without the need for long trips. In summary, Park Stables is an excellent choice for those looking for a comfortable, spacious holiday home with attention to detail, where everything works perfectly. A stay that we would do again without hesitation!

Very comfortable and clean accommodation.

Can't find any negatives. As a group of six adults we found it roomy and supplied with all the essentials. The owners had even left milk and juice and a box of shortbread as a welcome gesture. We will probably book it again some time in the future, although we will chose an off season date in the future as everywhere in the Cotswolds was so crowded!!

The accommodation was very spacious, and the kitchen was very well-equipped.

It is in a great place for exploring the Cotswolds. However, the sofas were not very clean and smelt of dogs. The middle bedroom had a terrible smell of drains in the bathroom, as did the main bathroom. The smell hit you as you entered the room, and it was obviously known to the owner, as, on our arrival, the bathroom window had been left open and an air freshener had been placed there. The water tank in the same bedroom was unbelievably loud, and I cannot believe anyone could sleep through the noise. There is possibly a problem with the element? Unfortunately, not being able to sleep very well whilst staying at Park Stables, rather put a dampener on the stay.

This accommodation was exactly as the photographs showed.

The quality of furnishings was excellent. The accommodation was spacious, and well presented and whilst not within walking distance of amenities, beautiful villages and restaurants were a short drive away. We really appreciated the security of the garden for our dog to play in. All in all this was wonderful accommodation that we would highly recommend and would ourselves return again.

Park Stables was absolutely ideal for us - one couple and two single ladies each enjoying their own bedrooms & bathrooms, with plenty of space to spread out and all on one level.

One small thing, for elderly guests it would be helpful to have a grab rail in at least one of the walk in showers. Kitchen was very well appointed with everything we needed. Cottage was well located within the 'triangle' of Bourton on the Water, Stow and Burford, all very easy to get to and nice dog walks too - the hill down and up to Wyck Rissington makes for good exercise! The Lamb pub in Great Rissington is absolutely excellent for food, highly recommended.

The property was very clean and has a well equipped kitchen, plenty of parking and is in an ideal location for visiting the different Cotswold villages The only negative (which the owners are probably unaware of) is that both the double beds need some attention as every movement in bed creates a squeaking noise which actually made sleep very interrupted sadly.

What a beautiful place and in a great location to many of the villages.

I’d forgotten how lovely the Cotswolds are. There was plenty of room and the facilities were just right. The welcome milk and biscuits were gratefully received Parking was sufficient. We would all definitely stay here again.

Fantastic accommodation and we would love to be back sometime soon.

The bathrooms are lovely and the kitchen is modern with everything you could possibly need. We were most impressed

Was a bit disappointed when the power tripped and we had to find the junction box and had to reset it.

this happened twice. This was mentioned in the property manual but still feel this should not happen. The lounge furniture was a little tied looking but comfortable and also would be nice to have a full length mirror. Location is excellent and we had a good stay and it was nice to find milk in the fridge and also tea coffee and biscuits.

Spacious, clean, comfortable accommodation.

Beautifully decorated and furnished and very well equipped. Safely fenced for Labrador sized dogs. Convenient bridlepath just over the road suitable for a quick dog walk. We didn’t stay long enough to investigate dog walking routes further. Park Stables is well sited for Burford, Boughton on the Water, Stow on the Wold, Moreton in Marsh (we attended the Moreton Agricultural Show), Daylesford Organic and Chastleton House, which are all close by. There are many other stately homes and gardens close by so plenty to do. We only had 3 days. Good food at The Sheep and The Bell in Stow and a wonderful Thai meal at Siam Cottage in Moreton. Would highly recommend Park Stables.

Very good accommodation , clean ,spacious, kitchen very well equipped and great having 3 bathrooms but pillows very thin and settees would be too low for someone who wasn’t very active and able bodied.

The stables were beautiful, great base to explore the Cotswolds, the barn had everything you needed and was very clean, and comfortable beds.

We had a small dog, that had a garden at the front to roam, the fences had wire round them, but the main stable gate had no wire, and would make it easy to escape and being near a busy road made me very nervous leaving him out there alone, perhaps would be good if the owners put some wire on the gates too. Would definitely recommend this property. Thank you.

This is a beautifully appointed property with a lovely spacious feel.

The complimentary milk, teabags and biscuits on arrival were a lovely touch and much appreciated. The beds were very comfortable and the bedlinen and towels were of good quality. The bathrooms were modern and clean, and the showers were easy to operate. The water pressure was very good too. It was great to have access to an ironing board and iron as well. Just one minor point (constructive): - There were ample small mirrors in the bedrooms and living space, however, a long mirror would have been so useful. We were off to a wedding and would have loved to have made that final check on our outfits!

We really enjoyed our stay at Park Stables.

The property was very well equipped, clean and comfortable, The owners dealt promptly with an issue with the smoke alarms,which was due to the extremely hot weather,she even brought us a bottle of wine as an apology, much appreciated!!.Park stables is in an excellent location for exploring the local towns and villages, We would happily recommend it anyone looking for a holiday in the Cotswolds.

Lovely property.

. Comfortable and lots of room . Need a car but not far to drive around and see other pretty places .

The accommodation was very welcoming, clean and just perfect for a friends weekend together Lovely setting and great location for visiting the local area All staff I dealt with before our stay were very helpful

After the mishap of a weekend with no water in the first property, Manor Properties did an amazing job of finding us an alternative somewhere to stay.

Park Stables is a beautiful, spacious converted barn situated on a working farm. It is local to so many places of interest and beauty that will make any tourist stay a wonderful experience. The property itself is of a very high standard, and we feel very lucky to have been able to stay there. I would highly recommend to anyone. I also thank the Hosts at Park Stables for accommodating us at very short notice, leaving us welcome gifts, and saving the holiday. Thank you.

This was a fabulous property, clean and tidy and had all we needed.

It was perfect for the 6 adults and dog and a great location. Couldn't fault it at all.

Excellent place to stay and very well maintained.

Boiler a little bit noisy within the bedroom and found some items not checked over by cleaning staff? (Ie out of date first aid kit and dirty knife and glass feel owners should be aware as if it was myself I would like to be informed). Otherwise lovely place to stay. Little bit remote so car is a must. Only real complaint is we should have booked a longer stay. Would love to return.

A great location close to many of the well known Cotswolds towns/villiages.

The dining and kitchen facilities provided everything we wanted. The two main bedrooms were superb, but the third bedroom was small in comparison. Cothes storeage was poor. The 12" wide metal 'wardrobe' was more of an industrial locker, and was out of place with all the oak furniture in the rest of the property. Together with a small chest of drawers, and two even smaller bedside sets it failed to provide adequate facilities for a couple staying for 5nights. The 20yard walk through the lounge and dining areas to visit the bathroom was disappointing. The lounge furniture was tired and in need of replacement. The log burner was brilliant and much needed as the weather for our New Year stay was cold and dismal. Given the £2,000 price tag for a 5 night stay it was let down by the 'poor relation' 3rd. bedroom and the lounge funiture, and, in our view, did not represebnt good value for money. It's a great shame as it could have received a 5* rating otherwise.

Great accommodation in a very handy location.

We had everything needed thank you, apart from a wire rack for the grill but this was not essential. The boiler noise in the bedroom was very loud and woke my sister up every morning but I am not sure this is something that can be rectified. Given the time of year it would have been nice to have a Christmas tree up or maybe some lights or decorations to make it feel more festive but again not essential. We had a lovely stay, thank you and would book again if in the area.

Very pleased with the accommodation.

Clean and comfortable. Well situated for visiting all Cotswold villages. Would definitely stay there again

Five stars the property was everything it said it would be.

A wonderful cottage. Thank you. I guess if I’m going to be picky the welcome pack was very poor compared to all the other properties we have stayed in.

Property clean and as described with furniture, rooms etc.

Sofas need a good clean - stained. Beds a bit squeaky in both bedrooms used. The hot water tank is very noisy. The wifi did not seem strong enough for the TV so it was not able to be used as a smart TV - disappointing. Maybe some signal boosters will help the internal strength. Otherwise was well furnished, especially in the kitchen. I did leave a note to say the cold tap part of the kitchen mixer was dripping at times.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location.

Very comfortable beds, great kitchen facilities, everything you need and want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommend

Excellent accommodation with everything you need for a comfortable week with family or friends, with 3 bedrooms which can all be doubles if required it’s ideal for couples.

I would highly recommend this property.

We had a lovely stay at Park Stables.

The location was perfect (although a car is obviously essential) and the property was of a really high standard and worked really well for us.

Spacious cottage ,central location to all sightseeing places in area.

All equipment you could need. One bedroom has no on suite and is away from the bath room . Garden was safe for our two big dogs but small dogs would get under fence.would come again but will bring ear plugs as main bedroom where boiler is located is very loud .otherwise highly recommend and chocs was a nice surprise from owner.

Lovely holiday cottage plenty of room for 5 of us You do need a car as shops a good walk away

Everything was spot on, wi-fi isn’t very good so mobile wouldn’t work in the properly but worked outside and Netflix was hit n miss.

Boiler in bedroom Cubard is quite noisy so if you’re sensitive to noise take ear plugs. Other than that a beautiful comfortable property with everything you need.

We had a lovely weekend at park stables.

Perfect for 3 couples, ideal location as a short drive to all the lovely Cotswold villages. Only suggestion would be letting guests know in advance that the nespresso machine takes the new style pods which are only available for purchase online. We would have ordered some to take with us had we known. All in all a great stay though; we are already discussing booking again

Park stables is a nice holiday cottage to stay in the area of Cotswold.

The cottage itself is very nice, well equipped, have a lot of space and great fireplace! But it is located just on the very busy road and next to a car garage that just make a lot of noise, so if you are looking for a rural place to stay with a touch of country side, this is not a right place for that. Other than that, our stay was good and nice.

We had a wonderful stay at the barn.

Everything was beautifully clean and thank you for the biscuits, milk and coffee, tea etc kindly left for us. We will definitely book again when we next travel in your area. Thank you very much.

We were a party of 4 occupying the two en-suite bedrooms and although generally comfortable, there were several problems with the bathrooms.

There was a leak in the waste pipe beneath the wash basin which soaked my wife’s wash bag. We were kept waiting on the ‘phone for over half an hour trying to report this to the owners, who eventually sent somebody out to fix the problem. The shower controls were temperamental in one of the rooms and there was no indication of how they should be operated. Both couples noticed the shower trays were close to overflowing when in use but we were disinclined to waste more of our time trying to report this. Attempts to recycle rubbish were thwarted. A collection of small black bins were already full when we arrived and there was nothing to indicate which type of rubbish each was designed to take. All in all, we paid a premium price for average accommodation. .

the property was clean and comfortable, one problem was that there were no two pin razor points and I had to borrow a 3 pin jto two pin adaptor from my daughter.

I would also say that a couple of the toilet seats were loose and there were no instructions regarding bin day.. I found it too difficult to contact owners, but this was probably due to my lack of knowledge with the phone system

Fantastic , spacious property with everything you could wish for .

Well equipped and spacious accommodation.

Ideal for family holiday, garden access good for young child and dog. Unfortunately the Hoover head was very worn making it difficult to hoover, necessary when holidaying with children and pets. Property is not in Wyck Risslington as advertised, but in Wyck Beacon, Upper Risslington. Road was very busy and unable to go for walks directly from the property.

Hi, we had a really great stay and would come back again.

The property itself was really comfortable, clean, well-equipped, all the things we wanted. The only downside was the location opposite the car repair yard who kept burning oil (and maybe tires?) which regularly caused acrid smoke to drift our way - I knew that the property was away from the pristine Cotswold villages and built alongside a working farm, but that was a bit unpleasant. Also, property would greatly benefit from the addition of a barbecue!

Als uitvalsbasis is Park Stables perfect zo centraal in de Cotswolds.

Het naastgelegen Phipp Feeds levert af en toe een onaangename geur. We misten het uitzicht op de omgeving en tuinmeubilair om buiten te relaxen. Het huis zelf is perfect voor een gezelschap van volwassenen: prima bedden en badkamers, volledige keukeninventaris, en heerlijk ruim. Het was uitzonderlijk warm en extra ventilators zou een uitkomst zijn. De vriendelijke buurman hielp ons met extra water toen de watersupply het begaf en doorspoelen van de toiletten niet meer mogelijk was.

Great property in wonderful setting and in easy reach of many local attractions.

Very clean, we'll set out and comfy. The only small comments are that 6pm is too late a check in, even with COVID cleaning in mind, and as others had commented, the bedrooms need more draw space/shelving in wardrobes. However those aspects did not detract from a wonderful break in a lovely home. Thank you

We had a lovely stay at Park Stables over the New Year and found it a great base to explore the Cotswolds.

The kitchen was very well equipped and had all the essentials we needed and more. The showers are powerful and the bed was very comfy. The only small negative was the lack of drawer space in the bedrooms. There was plenty of hanging space but they could really benefit from perhaps one less chair and a chest of drawers instead. Would definitely recommend the property and hope to visit again at some point : )

We had a thoroughly enjoyable 3 night stay at Park Stables.

The property was immaculately clean, with lovely, comfortable decor and furnishings. The log fire was a bonus at this time of year (logs available just next door at Phipp Feeds) and the kitchen was really well kitted out. Overall we had a great time - it's location was perfect for trips out to Burford, Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water, and there was plenty of nearby footpaths and bridleways for walks with our two dogs. The only point worth mentioning is that whilst the garden is secure for larger dogs, smaller ones (like ours) would have found it easy to slip under the fence and the road was surprisingly busy at times. But not a big deal - we just had to keep them on their leads and watch them carefully. We would definitely think about returning in the future.

The Bedroom off the lounge needs a bigger wardrobe and perhaps a dressing table with a mirror.

The walk in shower in the master bedroom needs a hand rail, my dad is disabled and struggled other wise the cottage is amazing this was our 5th visit.

The accommodation is lovely, clean and well stocked.

We took everything, thinking with Covid, there be little provided. However, everything we needed was awaiting us. Tea, coffee, sugar, condiments, even 2 pints of milk and a packet of luxury biscuits. A lovely touch! The only thing, I would like to say is, that one of the bedrooms has no ensuite or TV and that wasn't obvious on the details. A small thing in the scheme of things. We had a lovely time. Thank you.

Park Stables had everything that you could need.

The kitchen was fully equipped. The bathrooms were large and the showers powerful. The bed were very comfortable and there was plenty of comfortable seating. One thing to note was the 3rd bedroom’s bathroom was not en-suite. The cottage was really clean. The windows could have done with a clean as there were children’s handprints all over them, this did not detract from the holiday but was surprising due to the cleanliness everywhere else. The cottage is fabulously located for everywhere in the Cotswolds.

Lovely, well equipped and very comfortable beds.

Lots of small details like toilet cleaner, soap, washing up liquid etc makes such a difference. It would have been good to know that this was provided in advance .but still great to have.

Shower in double bedroom needs the drain cleaning, and also only one pillow protector on bed.

The single beds also only had two protectors on pillows.

Lovely property.

The owners helped out with things so quickly when we needed them to change a bed configuration. Many good places to visit close by. Thank you so much for an excellent holiday

Lovely stable conversion with top spec fittings, great location too.

Only negative points were road noise in garden area, no WiFi signal in bedrooms and poor water supply (new pump fitted on our last day).

For the money we paid, We expected that we would be able to make full use of facilities in all 3 bathrooms.

In the master bedroom ensuite, first morning shower water was cold. This was corrected speedily by the owner but for the rest of the week there was no hot water in the washbasin. The owner came twice to deal with airlock but we still had same problem throughout. No hot water in kitchen tap and twin bedroom ensuite was corrected by owner after first day. Also in that shower room we had problems with ants but was corrected after first couple of days with spray. The boiler in cupboard in master bedroom is very noisy when anyone using bath or shower. BUT once the water issues are corrected it will meet expectations as very spacious and well furnished and equipped.

We had daily issues with the water - the master bedroom shower is faulty as does not produce hot water unless the sink tap is ran on full for a few minutes to allow the hot water to make its way to shower!

The water tank in master bedroom is very noisy & kept us awake most of the night. There is definitely major plumbing issues that need maintenance. Also there are no rails or grab handles in the shower so not disabled friendly. This needs urgent action as very dangerous for the elderly. Also we had zero cold water for @ 8hrs due to more plumbing issues low pressure for most of our stay. This was our 3rd visit & the cleanliness has dropped off. This is worrying as deep cleaning is required between each rental due to Covid & we are not allowed access on check in until 6pm due to this deep clean. Any furniture I moved was dirty behind it & there certainly hadn’t been any hoovering under beds as there was old dust! I also found someone’s dirty socks down back of chair in lounge so clearly the sofas hadn’t been hoovered properly. The cleanliness needs addressing immediately. With regards to further improvements - it would be nice to have comfortable outside patio chairs or loungers as we had to take the lounge chairs into garden on a hot day as nothing comfortable was provided.

I think you should make room in the third bedroom for a wardrobe.

We split the bill 3 ways but one had no wardrobe in her room which was a bit difficult since she had to store her clothes in another bedroom. Other than that,everything was excellent.

First Class Property.

Very Clean,Well Equiped,Nice Situation

Park Stables is a really lovely pace to stay.

It was spacious, very clean and had most things that we needed. Lovely dog walk on the Oxfordshire Way, just down the road, which led to Bourton on the Water. Lovely and warm for the chilly days we had. Just a few things that I would change, but minor and did not affect our enjoyment: a full length mirror needed, an extra lamp at far end of lounge and we couldn’t find the clothes airer which was stated as being in the main bedroom wardrobe. These aside, we didn’t want to leave and would definitely recommend Park Stables.

beds were not made up as request but this was resolved within the hour of arriving, excellent service.

very comfortable accommodation, ideal for exploring the Cotswolds, whole experience was outstanding. already sent link to friend who is interested

This was ideal for us to stay in with my disabled mother in law.

There are plenty of places to sit inside, but it could do with a couple of chairs to sit in outside rather than the picnic bench. I was surprised at how busy the road was, but this means it’s quick to get into Bourton-on-the-Water or Stow-on-the-Wold, and the local Co-op is 1/2 mile away which we used a lot ! We cooked a few times & the kitchen was well equipped. The third bedroom really needs a wardrobe, a row of hooks on the wall isn’t enough. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

We stayed at Park Stables, it’s a beautiful property in a good position to visit the Cotswolds.

This was our 2nd time staying at Park Stables, and we will stay again,. The rooms are spacious and two have en-suite bathrooms, there is another bathroom off the lounge. The 3rd bedroom which is off the lounge does not have any wardrobe space just some hooks on the wall, this is my only niggle about the cottage, otherwise it’s a perfect staycation choice.

Brilliant for us , 3 couples ideal set up.

Loved the little bits of having a well stocked kitchen of utensils and condiments. Really clean and furnished to a Hugh standard. Wouldn't hesitate to be back

we were all aware of a funny smell in all the bathrooms, which did go after use, very poor lighting in lounge and dining areas lovely lightbulbs but not able to see to read, lampshades also needed a good clean.

when using the cooker the fan oven did not work which was a bit of a problem and we phoned the housekeeper who said she would report it to the owner. we never heard anymore from herr the owner, having looked back on previous reviews we understand this is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. the dishwasher also had a bit of a problem it had a problem getting crockery clean even with good dishwasher tablets, cooker-hood also needed a very good clean on top. recycling was also a problem not enough bags for food waste, and not knowing when it was emptied in outside bin.

Wonderful property.

Very spacious and clean. Lovely and warm. Can’t think of anything negative we had a wonderful stay.

Lovely cottage very old location

We have had an amazing holiday.

The cottages we rented completely exceeded our expectations. Immaculately clean and so well presented. Also fully stocked with everything we needed.

Park Stables was very comfortable and spacious, we loved the beautiful wood floors and doors, everything finished to a very high standard.

Only slight surprise was that the third bedroom's bathroom was across the living room, not ensuite or next to the bedroom. We enjoyed the wood burning stove very much, easy to light & regulate & made the room nice & cosy.

Great house for a group of adults - a bathroom per couple and plenty of sofa space.

Good quality kitchen for proper cooking (we did a big Sunday roast). Could do with a bit more equipment , eg a large mixing bowl and a fruit bowl.

We had a lovely stay at park stables.

The property is spacious and beautifully decorated and furnished with good quality oak furniture. The property was always very warm both during the day and during the night. Bourton and Stow are both close by with supermarket, petrol station, pubs and cash points. A lot of extra touches were very much appreciated. The only thing that was missing (and of course this is personal preference) was an anti slip mat for the shower cubicle.

The accommodation was first class which naturally added to our enjoyment of our stay.

spacious, well kept accommodation , well equipped, quiet location

The cottage was situated close to all the towns we wished to visit in the Cotswolds.

Good local Co-op store very close by. The layout and amenities of the cottage made it very enjoyable as a three generation family holiday. \ \

The property suited us very well, and the location was great for sightseeing in the Cotswolds.
