The Old Stables have been very cleverly converted into a unique and spacious self-contained apartment with every facility thought of and made available, including unexpected items that enriched the experience of staying there, some of which we never got around to using.Everywhere was very clean and inviting with lovely bedding and towels and the generous space upstairs held twin beds, chairs and a TV which would be ideal for families with children. Our hosts were really helpful and keen for us to enjoy our visit and we felt very at home from the moment we met them.

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 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!
