Beds are gorgeous and plenty of towels and toilet rolls, something which can be lacking at other places. Owners are very generous and we received a lovely welcome pack, including fresh coffee, flowers, wine, fruit , milk and biscuits. Kitchen could do with a few more bits such as wooden chopping boards, serving dishes and better quality dishclothes as they disintegrated easily. We adore the setting as it's quiet and yet you can easily access Devizes, Trowbridge, Melksham and the canals are very nearby so walking the dogs is so simple as there are large fields to roam in on the farm. We love seeing the ducks just outside the door on the pond and overall we love The Stables and will book again. Thank you for an excellent break.

Location was perfect. Crockery needs renewing chipped cups and plates. Fridge Freezer awkward as balanced on top of each other. Vertical blinds on kitchen French doors slats was missing so not private and owners dog constantly jumping at door causing our dog to bark constantly. Step down from kitchen dangerous. As a dog friendly property it needed a fence round patio area so that our dog could be let out and not constantly on a lead which was stipulated on the house rules and yet the owners 2 dogs was roaming freely which were friendly but disruptive.
