“We had a wonderful stay at the Stables.”

From the bottle of bubbly on arrival to the toastie hot tub, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great location and central to most activities that we had planned. Hope to come back again!

Katie December 2024

“Lovely property, cute cottage feel to it.”

Was clean & tidy & had most things you require to make the stay comfortable. We took our one year old daughter, so appreciated the cot/ stair gate The only thing I would say is the shower really could do with a shower mat to stop the slipping ( mostly because of my daughter) trying to shower a one year old with no slip mat proved difficult.

“Really well equipped, comfortable property.”

Loved the hot tub. Property is in an excellent location, very quiet but close to many beautiful places. We would definitely recommend The Stables to friends and family and would love to return.

Chiara October 2024

“Only slight mark-down on the listing, was that it would have been helpful to know the comprehensive rules with dogs in the property.”

It's listed as dog friendly, but when we got there, it was written to say dogs not allowed on furniture or upstairs at all, which was challenging, as our dog just loves to roam at home! Other than that, I cannot fault The Stables. The cottage was lovely; So welcoming and extremely well equipped! Location is nice and quiet, not far away from places to walk, pubs and nearby attractions and places of interest. The only downside is you have to drive to go anywhere, as The Meetings are quite remote and on a busy road, so with young children and dogs, it is a point to mention.

- Chiara, October 2024

Thank you for your review Chiara, Guests do usually end up bringing throws etc to put on the furniture for their dogs, which is fine! We do ask for them not to go up stairs due to the carpet. We are so pleased you had a lovely time and you had everything you needed. Many thanks Julie and Jo Property Owner
Christine September 2024

“We had a great stay.”

Beds and living room suite very comfortable. Had a small problem that was dealt with immediately, which was appreciated. Great base from which to visit some of the pretty Cotswold villages.

Karen June 2024

“Would have preffered a king size bed.”

- Karen, June 2024

Thank you for your review Karen, it does state on Sykes description it’s a double bed. We prefer not to have a King size bed. The bed sizes come down to everyone’s own preference, and unfortunately we can’t please everyone sadly! Property Owner
Shary June 2024

“We had a fantastic holiday at The Stables, the location is perfect , cottage is spotless and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday.”

The enclosed garden is lovely and perfect for the dogs. A real home from home and Julie & Jo make you feel very welcome, I would definitely recommend this property

- Shary, June 2024

Thank you for a lovely review Shary. It was lovely to meet you both and we are so pleased you had a lovely time here. We hope to welcome you both back next year sometime. Many thanks Julie and Jo Property Owner
Jenny April 2024

“One of the best cottages we have stayed in.”

Super location for exploring a new area. Excellent walks from the cottage door. Great for dogs. The hot tub was a good size and a nice treat after our long walks. The tea and coffee etc was very handy. Lots to do in the area. If going with dogs I recommend The Cotswolds Wildlife Park.

- Jenny, April 2024
Karoly February 2024

“Beautiful property, spotless clean, the kitchen items and utensils was very thought out, everything was available that you would need to cook with.”

Log burner was great for when it dropped cooler in the evening, and the hot tub was lovely. Lovely looked after cottage, we will be returning.

- Karoly, February 2024

Thank you very much for your lovely review, it’s very much appreciated. We do hope you return here one day soon. Julie and Jo Property Owner
Jessica December 2023

“We had a great stay at The Stables.”

It is remote so perfect if you want to get away from it all. The hot tub is lovely! It was clean and warm upon arrival. The property itself was very clean, kudos to the people who give it a thorough clean. When we arrived, we were greeted with Prosecco and goodies which was lovely! The Christmas tree was such a lovely touch too, set the festive scene. The kitchen is well equipped, you just need to explore it to find what you need. Everything is modern and works well. I would say there needs to be more drinking glasses though, there were only 2 in the property. The heating is new and works quickly so we were warm all the time. The shower is warm and powerful, there isn’t a bath so if you’ve got kids, be mindful of this. There were only 2 towels so we did have to do a wash, it may be worth proving a few more especially for those using the hot tub. We used the main bedroom and I’ve got to say, we didn’t sleep too well. The bed is too small. It’s a double but you could very easily get fit a king size in there. My partner isn’t the smallest so we felt so cramped. The bed frame is also really squeaky so if you’re a fidgeter like me, you do risk waking the other person up. The mattress itself was good. The pillows were thin so we did have to take more from the spare bedroom. I really do think upgrading to a king size would make the stay much more enjoyable, I’m sure most guests wouldn’t mind paying a bit extra for a larger bed. As a side note, the hairdryer doesn’t work properly, it cuts out after a few seconds. Overall we had a lovely stay and it was wonderful being able to take our dog. The property is modern and stylish. We did call the hosts once to work out the fire and they were friendly and quick to answer. Thank you for a lovely week :)

- Jessica, December 2023

Hello Jessica, thank you for your review. We are not sure what you mean regarding drinking glasses as there is loads in the cupboard from wine glasses to beer glasses. Property Owner
Elle November 2023

“Really lovely cottage.”

A lot of things to do that were a short(ish) journey in the car. Well equipped kitchen and loved having a washing machine, made coming home less stressful as could do it before we left. Very cozy and great heating especially with the nights being in the minuses. Only reason it wasn’t 10/10 was the bed, but that’s more personal preference, I suffer with nerve damage so most holiday lets beds are uncomfortable for me. Definitely recommended!

- Elle, November 2023
Rebecca October 2023

“Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring Cotswold.”

King size bed would have been better. Heating system that is in the main bedroom (in its own cupboard) woke us in the night. Down stairs w/c had an horrendous smell, which we contacted the owner about (my husband is a plumber so able to guide owner what the issue was) They got a plumber out the next day. We still feel issue hasn't been rectified as there is still a smell, not as bad but still awful. Shower also needs looking at, the water pressure is poor so not a great shower. We did clean limescale off to get the head to run a bit better. Also when using any facilities upstairs the water noise is rather loud throughout. Plumbing really needs looking at. Garden could do with a storage box for the furniture cushions. We were so lucky with the weather that it would have been nice to be able to sit on the furniture, however due to cushions being wet, this was not possible. It would be easy enough for holiday makers to put cushions away when not using furniture. However we had a lovely stay. Thank you.

- Rebecca, October 2023

We are so sorry about the smell, you contacted us regarding it.We did our best at the time (as we are on holiday ourselves in the Highlands) it’s a issue being dealt with, as soon as poss.We’ve never had a trouble with the shower or water pressure. We also usually clean the cottages ourselves so if there was limescale then that will be be dealt with too. The new air source heating system installed in June and no issue with it. outdoor seating is new and obviously no storage box yet, sorry. Property Owner
Ian October 2023

“Nice and tidy.”

Good location. Kitchenware needs a bit of a refresh.

- Ian, October 2023
Anne July 2023

“Second visit to this cottage.”

Ideal for visiting Oxford and Blenheim Palace, this was the idea of trip and I bought my 2 friends to area for first time. The hot tub was a lovely wind down from all our walking and visiting. Cottage just right and relaxing and we enjoyed watching baby house martins being fed and leaving their nests.

- Anne, July 2023
Sean June 2023

“Well equipped, very clean and comfortable.”

Great location and extremely pleasant hosts.

Ruth May 2023

“Had a really lovely stay with our 2 children and our dog.”

The Stables was lovely inside and out. It was clean and comfortable - the perfect base for seeing The Cotswolds and surrounding areas. Loved the hot tub and also the little welcome bottle of wine was a real treat!!

- Ruth, May 2023

Thank you for your review Ruth, we are so pleased you had a lovely time here at The Stables. The hot tub is a firm favourite addition here at The Stables! Many thanks Julie and Jo Property Owner
Charlotte May 2023

“We had a really enjoyable stay!”

The cottage is perfect for what we wanted and had all the facilities we needed. The hot tub was great and it was near to local attractions such as Diddly squat farm and Bourton-on-the -water. I would definitely be interested in visiting again!

- Charlotte, May 2023

Thank you for your review Charlotte, we are pleased you had a lovely stay here. Julie and Jo Property Owner
Sheila April 2023

“Everything was fine and as expected.”

The only downside was that the hottub was not hot enough to use when we arrived. It took hours to get anywhere near enough lukewarm to use on the day of arrival.

- Sheila, April 2023

Hello Sheila, thank you so much for your review. We need to clean the hot tubs in between guests, unfortunately it maybe still heating on arrival. Sometimes previous guests do not use the hot tubs meaning we don’t need to do an entire water change etc thus making it lucky for the next guests coming in. We can not do anything about the speed of which it heats. Property Owner
Rebecca April 2023

“Absolutely beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.”

The cottage was clean, cosy and comfortable with a lovely garden for the dog. The hot tub was an amazing bonus! Everything was perfect with our stay and we would love to return one day.

- Rebecca, April 2023

Thank you Rebecca. We are so pleased you had a lovely time here at The Stables. Yes the hot tub is an amazing bonus! We would love to welcome you back one day. Julie and Jo Property Owner
Jessica April 2023

“Lovely cottage, great location.”

Thank you Jessica, we are pleased you had a lovely time! We will look forward to welcoming you back one day. Many thanks Julie and Jo Property Owner
Kim March 2023

“Cottage is fantastic, clean and comfy beds.”

And lovely hot tub too, although the jets only appeared to be working on the far side, we just kept swapping around! Oh, and a lovely welcome gift upon arrival. Situated in a very peaceful location, near so many quaint villages and historical towns. Perfect middle point for me and my 2 friends to meet up from different parts of the country. The owners, I felt, were not so professional. We were a towel missing, rectified upon notification to owners with a rather small bath towel. I feel the parking allocation should be signposted as to who should park where for the 3 properties available. Was asked to move one of the cars as there were 3 in our party, but next door only had 1 car. So my car could have been left on the car park by the bin shelter. Told to park on an overspill plot of muddy grassland. Where when I attempted to move it it got stuck due to rainfall, I eventually managed!

- Kim, March 2023

Hello.Regarding the towel, the booking only came through with two in the party and when we realised we were on our way with the third towel the day you arrived (average size). It clearly states on making a booking that only two cars allowed per property and we do not know how many other cars are coming with the other properties until they are checked in. We did message you to say to bring your car back in after one night on the green due to next door cottage changeover and they did only have one car. We are sorry that it rain thus making it muddy on there. So of your 3 night stay you only stayed on the green for 1 night. There is plenty of room for 6 cars, and parking here is not an issue. Re the hot tub, all jets work on there and you just have to turn the actual jets and the bear claw on the side (this is the strength of the jets) it says this in the Hot tub book in the cottage. Thank you for saying we are unprofessional, that's something we've never had before quite the opposite in fact so we will try not to take this personally. Property Owner
Emily March 2023

“We had such a lovely weekend at The Stables!”

Everything was spotless and so cozy, it was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend away, thank you!

Hi Emily Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you had a lovely weekend here at The Stables. Many thanks Julie and Jo Property Owner
Stacy February 2023

“The cottage was lovely and we would happily come again.”

The hot tub water seemed to need a little attention, but nothing major. Overall a great stay and we had a lovely break

- Stacy, February 2023

The Hot tubs are cleaned and a change of fresh water and new chemicals added between each new guest. Property Owner
Stephanie February 2023

“We had a lovely stay at the stables.”

The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed for a family/girls weekend with my sisters collies. We enjoyed the hot tub and spent most of the weekend chilling, we even booked a massage! We would like to go back again and do more exploring of the local area. Dog owners just note that the garden fence is not very high if you are taking a dog that likes to jump/escape.

- Stephanie, February 2023

Hi so pleased you all had a lovely time here. The fences are 4ft high all around the properties, until now we've never had a dog jump out. We would look forward to welcoming you all back. Julie and Jo Property Owner
Alison January 2023

“A fabulous property.”

Very clean, warm, comfortable and in a quiet area. Added bonus of a hot tub. It had everything we needed and we would most definitely stay again. Great communication with the hosts.

- Alison, January 2023

Thank you Alison So pleased you had a lovely time, and yes the hot tub is a great bonus! We hope you visit us again soon. Julie and Jo Property Owner
Fiona December 2022

“A very well equipped cottage that was perfect for our family Christmas.”

The village and surrounding area is lovely, quintessentially English. We enjoyed the hot tub on Christmas and Boxing Day. The cottage was cosy and warm and the owners came to see us early on to check we had settled in ok. They told us about the Boxing Day hunt gathering in Chipping Norton which was fun to see. We would definitely recommend the cottage and area and hope to go back.

- Fiona, December 2022
Anne November 2022

“Cottage was very comfortable and relaxing just what was required.”

The hot tub was a lovely added addition.

- Anne, November 2022

Thank you very much Anne, so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Julie and Jo Property Owner
Emma November 2022

“The fences around the garden are only waist heigh making it very overlooked by both the other guests and the owners who’s house is at the bottom of the garden, also can see right into the owners bedroom from the top floor.”

Dog owners be warned although advertised as dog friendly on arrival the rules are stated that dogs can’t go upstairs or on the furniture so I wouldn’t class this as dog friendly. The garden is secure though so was safe. Hot tub was nice although you are looking out into the car park as people arrive which was weird. The cottage itself was lovely and clean and kitchen well equipped although missing a little bottle of milk and tea bags for when you arrive but did have a bottle of wine waiting. All in all we enjoyed our stay and the location is fab for exploring all the villages of the Cotswold and close to Bicester village for shopping!

- Emma, November 2022

We are fully aware that we can’t unfortunately please everybody although we do try our hardest. Fencing around all our cottages are 4ft high (we didn’t want 6ft high as it would make all the cottages too enclosed) Majority of our guests since we opened in 2017 has had dogs and a lot are returning guests as well, we’ve had guests ask if they can put their own throws on seating etc which has been ok. We ourselves have stayed in many dog friendly cottages (Sykes or other agency) and they’ve all requested no dog upstairs or on soft furnishings. As for the buildings we can’t help the layout unfortunately being what was an old working farm courtyard and once again it’s never been an issue. The distance between our property and the cottages is massive and is certainly not on top of each other. Property Owner
Shelley November 2022

“Such a lovely cottage, everything was clean, neat and it was the perfect getaway for us.”

We will definitely be keen to come back again.

Katie September 2022

“Had a wonderful stay!”

Cottage is beautiful and very clean. Great to have an enclosed garden and hot tub. Such a quiet setting and lots of lovely countryside to explore!

- Katie, September 2022
Helen June 2022

“Can't fault the cottage as it is finished to a very high standard and cleaned to a very high standard also.”

Only thing I would say is that blackout curtains could be considered but this did not bother us as we weren't there to sleep in. Cottage is overlooked by owners property but nothing a couple of tall plants couldn't sort out in the garden. This did not particularly bother us either as we were only there for a few days. The locals seem to hare down the country lane which runs alongside the property at quite a pace so maybe the property could be gated at the main entrance just in case children or dogs venture out of the gated gardens. Apart from that fab property and location. The local pub is a real gem. Falkland Arms which is 30mins on foot or a couple of mins in car. Great bolt hole to venture out to the rest of the cotswolds. Happy customers!!

- Helen, June 2022
Chris May 2022

“From the moment we stepped through the front door, it felt like a home from home, clean, very dog friendly with the added bonus of a hot tub.”

Beautiful location.

Sophie December 2021

“What an absolute gem of a cottage.”

It was clean, warm, perfectly equipped and the owners had even taken the time to decorate it for the festive period!! We will definitely be back, we didn’t want to leave!!

- Sophie, December 2021
Michael November 2021

“We absolutely loved our stay, so did the dogs!”

We had everything we needed, the hot tub was easy to use. The cottage was very clean and the free use of the EV charger was fantastic. We will definitely be visiting again. Only negative points we have, but it's just our personal preference. The bathroom towel are a bit small, the kitchen knives are blunt from the glass chopping boards. Plastic or wooden would be better (my partner is a chef).

- Michael, November 2021
Karen June 2021

“I didn’t know what to expect, to say I was pleasantly surprised is not enough.”

I can’t thank you enough for giving us a home from home. Fabulous place to celebrate a 40th birthday. I will definitely be booking another holiday with yourselves!

- Karen, June 2021

- Robert, February 2020
Claire February 2020

“Amazing cottage with everything you need .”

.. home from home all facilities you need and more including a hot tub and all with beautiful countryside right outside the front door. Easy to reach Cotswold tourist spots with chipping norton only 4 miles away...... dogs also had a great time and loved the garden .... welcome pack on arrival which is a really nice touch ... I will definitely be coming back

- Claire, February 2020
Clifford December 2019

“The Stables was immaculately clean and very well equipped.”

Although dogs are welcome, there was no doggy smell at all, I am pleased to say. We appreciated some thoughtful touches, such as a wall socket with USB charging sockets. The TV has recently benefited from the addition of a Humax Freesat box, giving a wide range of stations. The area is very quiet; one reviewer mentioned occasional road noise but although the Stables is the nearest of the three to the road, I think one would need to be very sensitive to noise to be at all bothered by the road. The area really is very quiet. There are many walks; the property has a number of guide books which we used. The property is a very short drive from Great Tew which has an excellent pub; we ate there on three evenings. I was pleased that the owners were prepared to accommodate my road bike which sat half in the ground floor toilet and half in the hallway. Having somewhere secure for my bike is very important to me. We will return to this property at some stage. I seldom leave reviews because few properties reach the high standards promised; the Stables is an exception.

- Clifford, December 2019
Lisa November 2019

“Our break away was fabulous - the stables was everything we needed.”

Dog friendly it had all we needed in the kitchen so comfortable, loved the fact it had private parking close to the cottages .The owners Julie and Jo have done a fabulous job in renovating this building. We loved the extra touches our welcome gifts even had treats for our woofers and also loved the connection with horses as it was called the stables - brilliant - I will be back for another visit next year

- Lisa, November 2019

An ideal location for visiting the Cotswolds. Great place to stay with your four legged friends.

“A wonderful, warm and cosy cottage with excellent facilities for us and our four-legged friends.”

- Susan, October 2019
Nick August 2019

“The stables was clean and met our expectations.”

Thewine and dog treats were well received and a nice touch.It was reassuring that despite the fact the owners lived opposite the accommodation ,not once did they feel it necessary to come and visit us,leaving us to get on with our much needed rest.Some owners declare that the gardens are safe and secure,very often I find this not to be the case when you have medium sized dogs who want to jump over or go through the fences.In the case of the stables I can honestly say it was the most secure of gardens and two English pointers were left very disappointed that they could not reenact the great escape.

- Nick, August 2019
John August 2019

“Clean house with everything you need in a great location.”

Everything was well thought out and it was a real home from home experience.

- John, August 2019
James August 2019

“The weather as ever was unpredictable, but the cotswolds has plenty to offer.”

- James, August 2019
Pauline July 2019

“The Stables is a lovely little cottage.”

It’s very well equipped and had everything we needed. It looks like it has been newly renovated. The stair gate is a great idea for the dogs, we use one at home, and the garden is safe and secure. If I could say one improvement it would be to supply fans in the bedrooms. They get a bit too hot being up in the roof and even open windows didn’t help.

- Pauline, July 2019
Richard July 2019

“Simply perfect!”

Would definately go again.

Ezmeralda May 2019

“What a wonderful base for exploring the Cotswolds.”

There was nothing missing from the property, good cutlery, cooking pots and pans, oven proof dishes, sharp knives, fridge, freezer, washing machine, dish washer, microwave, fan assisted oven, everything! Even a tea pot! The floor is tiled which is brilliant when you're bringing your dog's. There is also a downstairs loo. Comfy leather recliner sofa and chair, big TV with free view and a DVD player. Also there is WiFi for the people that don't know how to get away from it all on holiday. Under the stairs are the clothes horse/ airer, mop, bucket, and hoover. On the stairs there's a child gate. Upstairs is the double room and the twin and a shower room with loo. Brilliant sky light in the shower room, should you have a call of nature during the night, you can sky gaze too. Couldn't ask for more, parking, garden for the dog's, walks on the doorstep, clean comfortable property, excellent owner's!

- Ezmeralda, May 2019
Annabelle May 2019

“The bedding is such poor quality it actually affected overall experience.”

I would recommend upgrading this as it’s scratchy, poor quality. The location and amenities are all good.

- Annabelle, May 2019

I am sorry to hear you were unhappy with the quality of the bedding, we pride ourselves on the standards at our properties and this has never been mentioned before. Feedback is incredibly important to us and we pride ourselves on the excellent comments usually received by our guests. Property Owner
Ian March 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage (The Stables) on our visit to the cotswolds.”

The cottage was immaculately presented a real home from home with everything you would require. We would have no hesitation in recommending "The Stables" and Sykes Cottages. Which we will be using in the future.

- Ian, March 2019
Nicola March 2019

“Lovely cottage, welcome pack was very well received and a lovely touch.”

Extremely warm and cosy. Key collection and drop off was great and made things really easy, Would highly recommend this cottage.

- Nicola, March 2019
Margaret & Derek January 2019

“A very nice cottage ,very clean very well presented and very well equipped.”

The unfortunate thing was the lack of any views over the surrounding countryside. Windows on the upper level were set at floor level so you needed to sit/lie on the floor to see out of the windows. on the ground floor the views through the windows were either the adjacent farmhouse building or the bin store. There was only one key and from my point of view a second key would be advantageous..

- Margaret & Derek, January 2019
Sarah December 2018

“Very cosy cottage finished to a high standard throughout.”

Lovely festive welcome pack including treats for Ruby the dog. Excellent shower. So warm we didn't even need to use the wood burner! Breakfast bar seating would be cramped for 4 people, but for 2 it was no problem. End of terrrace so parking area very convenient for loading/unloading. Great location.

- Sarah, December 2018
Marion October 2018

“The cottage was of very high quality and comfortable although the beds let it down.”

When on holiday you need a good nights sleep and unfortunately the beds were not very comfortable. Apart from this we had a really enjoyable stay and the owners should be very proud of what they have achieved.

- Marion, October 2018

Cottage was spotless clean lovely welcome pack just a few little things could improve it no mirror downstairs except in toilet which it was to high up to see anything only top of head a tray in shower nowhere to put shampoo and soap over all it was a really lovely cottage

- Carol, September 2018
Dawn September 2018

“Loved the cottage - beautiful area and very quiet - which is what we wanted.”

Everything you could need was provided, including the owners had left treats to start our holiday - lovely touch! We were also pleased that they emailed details about key collection beforehand, which made things a lot easier on arrival. I would highly recommed The Stables and would definitely book to go again.

- Dawn, September 2018
Anne September 2018

“A very comfortable cottage , quality fittings and efficient heating, perfect for our weekend visit - excellent for dogs- a secure lawn area was appreciated.”

A rural location however unexpected traffic noise at night - nothing the owners can do about that but it did keep waking us up ! but the benefits of this property meant we would return if visiting this area again

- Anne, September 2018
Nicola August 2018

“The cottage was beautiful and very well maintained.”

It offered everything we needed for our week long stay. Thank you!

Anna July 2018

“We had a super week at the Stables.”

It was the perfect location for exploring Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties, and we made lots of day trips (Blenheim Palace, Stratford upon Avon, Stow on the Wold, Warwick, Biscester Village, etc). The cottage itself is one of three converted from an enormous old farm barn - and the conversion was has been done brilliantly so that the old character was still there yet the facilities and layout are everything you’d expect from a modern build. We were provided with a generous welcome pack and had access to great local shops in Chipping Norton. The owners suggested days out and walking routes nearby which we enjoyed despite the fierce heat. We also had several delicious meals in the local pub (The Falkland Arms). Thoroughly recommended.

- Anna, July 2018
Elaine June 2018

“The cottage is perfect , it is beautifully presented & has everything you need for your stay .”

On arriving we found the owners had provided us with some goodies ie wine,biscuits, cakes ,milk ,tea,coffee, a throwaway barbecue , vase of flowers. Lovely touch. The cottage is in a great location to visit many of The Cotswolds towns & villages . Would definitely recommend these cottages.

Garden enclosed & decent size for dogs. One slight improvement would be to have a larger bed in main bedroom to make it extra comfortable.
