What our customers say about their holidays

  My partner and I have just stayed here with two other couples and two dogs over the August Bank Holiday weekend and we had a great time.

  The beds are really comfortable, there was plenty of utensils (despite other reviews saying there was nothing), the interior was all a really high quality.....for what we paid I think it was huge value for money. The hosts looked after us well and even when we had a slight issue with how dirty the hot tub got on the 2nd day after the farmer had been working in the field next door, they happily came and cleaned it for us so we could carry on using it. The only thing I would say is that you'd have to be careful if you took dogs because the garden isn't enclosed. We took a giant pen with us to put around the patio area so it wasn't a problem, however if your dog is a bit of a runner or their recall isn't the best I'd just be mindful as the Stables is situated right next to a road (albeit not a busy one). It is also situated in the middle of nowhere and therefore quite exposed to the elements, so whilst its scenic and very tranquil, I'd recommend packing a blanket or a decent hoodie to wear if you want to sit outside afternoon/evening time. Overall a very good place to stay and I would happily book this venue again.

  This was a fabulous property for a family get together.

  Plenty of space and everything you could need for a home from home. The hot tub was fabulous, the huge garden was amazing for our 3 year old grandson to play on. We noticed a few cobwebs in the master bedroom, only a small issue but easily sorted. The smell from the drains was quite strong from arrival, we put it down to it being in the countryside but it got worse and was a bit off putting when wanting to use the BBQ and hot tub. On the last day we mentioned it to the maintenance guy who agreed it was very strong and shouldn’t be that bad as they had only recently been serviced. The large sofa in the lounge was very uncomfortable to sit on. Provision of a couple of fans would be useful as the smaller bedrooms got quite warm. All of these things are very small and did not spoil our experience significantly. Our main feedback is that 10 am checkout is very early and hard work to move out 3 families with babies and children, have breakfast and aim to leave the place as clean and tidy as possible. 11 am or even 12 midday would be much better. Overall we all enjoyed the stables and fasciitis very much

  Pros: The property was beautifully presented, and made very special with the decoration for Christmas.

  Check in was very easy with the key safe and the owner allowed us to go in a little early. The hot tub was suitable for 8 adults and the levels were checked by the owner while we were there to make sure the chemicals were okay. The property was clean (other than one towel that was very stained), the rest of the property was very clean. The parking was sufficient for 3 cars without having to block each other in. The property was very quiet, there's another rental cottage next door but very separate. Things to consider: There were no cleaning products, so we had to go out and buy our own to keep the place clean while we were there. And only 3 toilet rolls which isn't sufficient for a group of 8 for 3 nights. There isn't enough plastic cups for a big group for the hot tub (lots of the plastic cups in the cupboard were cracked from previous guests and overuse) so these need replacing. We had a really lovely time and thought the property was a nice place to spend our new year.

  We had a brilliant short break in this fabulous property.

  It was immaculate - spotlessly clean, the decor great and the attention to detail was superb. The house was really spacious so suited our party of six perfectly. It was well eqipped and had pretty much everything that we needed. We were even provided with a lovely welcome pack which was a nice touch and very much appreciated. The garden was lovely and there is plenty of space for parking both at the front and rear. The house is ideally located with Boston town centre about a 15 minute walk away. It is situated on quite a busy road though so there is some traffic noise at the front. It's also very close to the coast and several National Trust properties, and Lincoln is less than an hour away. The host was quick to respond to any queries we had and was very helpful. All in all, this is a beautiful house and one we would definitely love to stay in again - highly recommend it. Thank you very much!

  Absolutely beautiful place to stay.

  There were 5 of us and it was a greasy stay. Loads of space and the dogs love it. The garden wasn’t completely enclosed, so if You have dogs that do runners this isn’t really for them! The hot tub was perfect and seeing the owls constantly flying around was amazing! All I would say is don’t forget anything for your stay as they didn’t have any essentials. We had to buy washing up liquid, loo roll as there was only 3 rolls for 5 of us for 4 days. No spare teabags etc. The checkout was at 10 but the owner came at 9 on the day of leaving, so there was a slight pressure to leave immediately. I would still definitely go back, all of us had a lovely time! Not much to do near the property (without driving) but we didn’t mind that at all! We loved the quiet, we went to Chapels st. Leonard’s beach which was amazing, we only knew about it, as the owners left a list of dog friendly walks and places!
