Walking the Ridgeway

A comfortable quirky cottage in a converted stable. It has everything you could need and the owners are friendly and helpful. The free roaming geese and duck plus their eggs were a bonus. There are ducklings on their way and we were sorry to miss their hatching.

heavenly bluebells

Very interesting and comfortable stable conversion. we had glorious weather so made use of the outside area. Jenny and Robert were friendly and informative. The area is pretty rolling hills with beechwoods and plenty of good footpaths to explore. The bluebells were at their peak.

Superb Cottage and location

The cottage was just perfect for a do nothing weekend. We have an elderly dog who loved the spacious garden and meadow. The cottage was just right and the hearth was a welcome addition to be lit in the evening. Location and local pubs and places to eat were excellent. Thank you so much Jenny, we’ll be back!

Beautiful stay in a rural idyll

The Stables is a fabulous play to stay, nestled in the heart of the Chilterns, with Red Kites circling in the valley. Well equipped and comfortable, it is a great base to walk from and a short drive to Henley/Wallingford with great pubs nearby too.

Superb stay at The Old Stables

Our whole interaction with the owners of The Old Stables was superb - from booking, to communication, to arrival and the accomodation itself. We were made very welcome and the cottage was beautiful. We would definitely rebook for next year.

Spotlessly clean and very cosy and warm, a huge log burner and fantastically comfy beds. The welcome was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. We really felt like guests. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed our stay.

Charming cottage, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Excellent hosts. We especially appreciated arriving to cake and fresh flowers and the large helpful folder with local maps, guides etc. Older/infirm guests or young children might find the "paddles" type stairs difficult but the ground floor stable bedroom with ensuite is lovely.
