  A perfect place in a beautiful rural setting, but within easy reach by car to lots of very beautiful towns and villages (independent shops, clean, no empty shops!

  ). We absolutely loved this cottage and will definitely come back, we also loved the whole area. We normally go to the Cotswolds, but chose this cottage because it had everything we needed and felt like a change. Boy were we pleased we did. In short Stable Cottage absolutely perfect, but importantly the surrounding area, towns and villages also fantastic too. Our whole party really enjoyed the break. The cottage is absolutely wonderful inside with everything we needed. We specifically needed a double bed and walk in shower down stairs, plus anther double bedroom with shower or bath. This was because we were travelling with very elderly parents. The hot tub, which is wood fired was brilliant and as it sits in a very sheltered and secluded area so even though there was a severe rain weather warning during that time and the temp dropped to around 16c it was still absolutely lovely to sit outside and go in the hot tub which we went in for several hours for 3 of our 4 days. The cottage had a really handy large boot room so all your clutter could happily sit out there. I also like to cook whilst away. The kitchen, although a little small (mainly available counter space), was very well fitted out with absolutely everything you could ever need (even a washing machine!) and the items were all of a high standard (ie no useless knives or can openers etc). Belinda and Mike were wonderful, lovely and helpful, always around if you needed anything, but not if you didn’t. Lots of walks from the cottage. We also visited Hereford Castle (needed to be in the summer months I think to get the splendour of the gardens- we went end Sept). Hereford – lovely worth a visit , ate at the Beefy Boys – very nice, Worcester, again lovely. Both towns vibrant, lots of independent shops (including modal shops for the husband) and very clean. We had a truly outstanding meal (tapas) at the Unwind Bar – definitely worth a visit. If you go on a Thursday and spend more than £40 on Tapas, you can get a bottle of wine at 50% off. We went for a red from Puglia at £29 per bottle (£14.50 with the discount) honestly one of the most beautiful reds I have ever tasted. So good we are going to import some in for ourselves.

  I had the most wonderful week at Stable Cottage.

  The place is perfect, lots of nature, walks, scenery and wildlife on your doorstep. The cottage itself was better than any pictures or words, it felt warm and welcoming with so much heart put into all aspects, such as little picture perfect views from every room, the wood fired hot tub that was heated for my arrival, home made jam, detailed walking routes and write ups of where to visit or eat. This is a place where you feel the energy that says, just slow down and look around and take it all in. It had everything you need to be self sufficient for the week. Some lovely extras in a welcome basket were such a special touch. Belinda and Mike are very caring hosts who want you to relax and enjoy the space they’ve created. They’re always available should you need them. A special mention to Ola their lovely dog who likes to check in with you whenever she sees you, another lovely aspect to my week. Stable Cottage is somewhere I will revisit, it lifted my spirit and filled me with joy for the entire stay. I highly recommend staying there.

  Cottage is a good size for a couple with a dog.

  Bed comfy, shower ok, good heating system. Good walks for the dog. Good for stargazing. Pub across road. Various places nearby, Brockhampton, Bromyard, Malvern, Worcester. However... We weren't aware this cottage was on a huge holiday park i.e. the type with loads of static caravans. This was a big, big negative for us. The site also now has my email address and (predictably) is already foisting 'benefits' of holiday home ownership, which I am not happy about. We went on holiday with Sykes not Park Leisure. Outdoor light was faulty, some of the crockery waa filthy, there was no welcome pack (not even a few teabags), no cushions on (hard) sofa/armchairs, Roman blinds covered up half the windows even when fully open, no coat hooks, the main contact number was HQ not the one for the site. We went in the bar opposite one evening and were met with rowdy very drunk people, so didn't go back. Generally, no chance of a return visit at this one. A letdown compared to numerous other Sykes cottages we have stayed in.

  Superb property sitting in a beautiful valley.

  Lots of walks within the immediate area. Exceptionally dog friendly. The 'boot room' was excellent for sorting two legged and four legged 'muddy paws'. It was also a very cool bedroom for our pup. Lots of animals (chickens,sheep,horses) around too. Owners dog is very friendly. Somewhere you need to go if you really want to chill out and relax. You could spend a week just walking the grounds and watching the stars from the hot tub. The grounds are set up in the most beautiful english cottage garden style with the beehives (in the top field away from the houses), completing the English Cottage garden theme. The owners are very helpful but also very discreet. Whilst there are a couple of cottages and some fab 'glamping' tents, the set up is such that you feel you always have your own private space. The very yummy welcome 'crate' was a nice surprise too, (by both the human members and the dog). Six out of five stars!

  This was a perfect cottage in an idyllic location.

  Everything was provided, and you could happily stay for a week without leaving once you got your food. Hosts were friendly and approachable, but gave us our space and only came to the cottage to change the water in the hot tub on the Monday. The hot tub is awesome, but does need you to keep an eye on the fire while heating, it gets overheated really quickly and you have to put cold water in! Although its so secluded, in a half hour drive you're in beautiful market towns. There's shops and pubs nearby (each pub competing to be the oldest in the area!). There's also a little shop literally next door to the cottage that sells eggs, apple juice, jams etc, along with the wood for the hot tub. I was genuinely upset to be leaving, it was so beautiful and peaceful I feel it restored me just by being there! We'll be back for definite. I feel like I'm writing advertising blurb, but it really is that good!
