What our customers say about their holidays

  The Old Stable is well presented and a wonderfully equipped holiday home.

  Everything has been provided to an extremely high standard. Despite dire weather predictions our stay was not interupted by the sound of raindrops. All good so far. This is very much a working farm and as such the sound of tractors working from 7am should not be unexpected. Another aspect worthy of note during spells of warm weather was the abundance of flies......again not unusual on a farm but preparing food is not a task for sharing with our six-legged friends. A country property was chosen for walks and enjoying the outdoors. It is not feasible to walk from the door, therefore the car is required every day . . . . Herein lies my final gripe..The A40 is a busy road and joining it is a nightmare. Forget trying to turn right because a sufficient gap is as likely as a fly swatter having a success rate capable of deterring the other house guests. Engage power setting, turn left and trust other road users are taking notice. Walking the 1.3 miles to the nearest pub was possible but conversation, bar shouting, has to be conduced during breaks in the traffic. Our stay was enjoyable and the area is full of beautiful destinations - honourable mention to the warm sausage rolls from the butcher in Burford. These and his own pork pies are not to be missed. There is little the attentive owners can do about any of this and as such my comments are aimed purely at the expectations of prospective holiday makers. Nature has her own way of retribution - on our return home our south facing windows had their share of uninvited flies!!!!

  Nice and spacious modern cottage, also if you are a family of 4 (there was only two of us).

  Games and jigsaws etc. available, big tv screen. Well equiped although we missed a wooden spoon to stir in the pans. What we also missed was manuals: the little book provided a lot of information, but it took us a long time to figure out that the hot water for the upstairs shower and sink was also coming from the switch for the heating downstairs. And things like microwaves are different everywhere, so yes....some manuals would help. The house looked clean when entering, but was rather dusty. And the bed was not as big as we expected from the description unfortunately, but the matras was good!! Everything was well thought through though, (coasters near the bedside tables etc.), the "landlord" (we think the real owner was on holiday) was very friendly and helpful (brilliant tip about parking and the busses to Oxford!) and we had no noise or problems at all from the nextdoor attached house or from the farm. All in all a really nice experience.

  We chose the property for its location and good feedback and feel it met the brief on all points.

  The property is located on a farm ( even though it’s located very close to the A40 ) so many expectations could be had, we visited during a period when the cattle were still out in the fields but if they were in the barn then you would only be 20 mtrs from their location with all the nuances that would entail. The property itself is very well appointed and provides all the facilities you would require when catering for yourself, excellent shower facilities and very comfortable bed.Eynsham and Witney are the closest amenities where all services can be found, Peartree P&R is currently the closest should you want to visit Oxford, however the new P&R at Eynsham ( fully constructed but not accessible as of Sept 24 ) will be only 2 -3 miles away when fully operational.

  Medlars was the perfect holiday location for our party of two couples travelling together. It's location proved to be ideal for visiting the best of what East Sussex has to offer. It's secluded rural location gave us some spectacular night skies that we just don't get the the Nottingham suburbs. The farm animals proved to be great company, Truffles and her ten 5 week old piglets were a delight to observe at any time of day. Fiona was able to provide us with some high quality lamb and Dexter beef as well as free range eggs from her hens. Medlars Barn itself was extremely comfortable, with large spacious rooms with excellent facilities. We can wholeheartedly recommend Medlars and look forward to returning one day.

  Superb cottage with all mod cons on working beef farm.

  Owner Claire very helpful, nothing to much trouble and extremely friendly. Spacious living room and well equipped kitchen and downstairs toilet on ground floor, second floor with roomy bedroom with super comfy bed and second twin bedroom. Top quality shower room with heated towel radiator and luxury towels. No expense spared accommodation in a lovely location. A guest book would be useful and the shower would benefit from a non slip mat but otherwise faultless.
