Great location for a quiet country break
Myself, my wife and our two dogs stayed at Stable Cottage over Christmas 2022. It’s a perfect location for a quiet break with beautiful countryside on your doorstep. Malmesbury is just down the road and a pretty little town with all the amenities you need and some good pubs. Hugo was a good host and the property itself is comfortable and well stocked with the basics - toilet roll, dishwasher tablets, iron and board, etc. Also a washing machine which came in very handy with the terrible weather. A couple of things which could be improved, such as the sink coming away from the wall in the main bathroom and the toaster sets off the smoke alarm, so maybe a new one is in order? Overall very happy with our stay and would book again.

Excellent property and location
Everything went smoothly regarding the renting of this very nice property, the owners were friendly and helpful, the only problem we had was a very hot shower which the owners had mentioned to us on arrival and they are getting a Plummer in the next few days, we’ve one suggestion which is an observation not a complaint and that is add some bird feeders in the wooded area outside to attract the wildlife even more.

Well equipped and comfortable. We stayed for 4 nights for the Westonbirt Forest Live Concerts, and it was just a short drive away. Malmesbury worth a visit too.

Comfort in the Cotswold countryside
Very pleasant and comfortable 2 bedroom cottage in the heart of the southern Cotswolds. Tom and Katie, could not have been more gracious and helpful hosts. The cottage fulfilled our needs perfectly and gave us the opportunity to enjoy life in the countryside while still providing good access the the charming towns around.

A week's stay with a 3 year old
We had a great time staying at this lovely cottage. It is definitely one of the cleanest properties we have stayed at. We loved the open plan living downstairs and this really helped us as we had our 3 year old with us. They even had a few toys and books for her to play with which was nice. We really like the fact that the property had a washing machine and dryer as this meant we didn't have to take back dirty laundry with us and meant we could pack lightly and re-use our clothes. The views from the cottage are gorgeous and we really felt relaxed. The cottage itself felt very cosy. We ordered Hello Fresh meals to the cottage for our dinners and it was super easy to cook as the kitchen was well equipped. There is a Waitrose and Coop nearby which was very handy as we were able to stock up the fridge with groceries as soon as we arrived. Overall, we highly recommend this place.

Lovely Stay
We had a lovely time at Stable Cottage. Booking was straightforward and Hugo sent us useful information in advance. The cottage is in a secluded area with great views of the countryside. The owners were friendly and polite but never intrusive which was ideal for us. We visited Westonbirt Arboretum which was great, we walked 14km but easy to do shorter walks if you like. Lunch was easy there with covered outdoor seating. We also did an 11km walk around Tetbury which was fun. Our 7 year old daughter enjoyed all the walking and bike riding we did in the local area. The cottage was exactly as described, clean and well equipped. We would recommend it to anyone.

Stable Cottage is a great find. The accommodation was exactly like the photos, if not better, with plenty of room for 2 adults and a crawling baby and very clean and well equipped. A lovely rural location but with easy access to local towns. Have recommended to friends already.
