We were generally very happy with our experience at the Old Stables.. It was a shame that the normal welcome packs, books, DVDs etc are not available & I can not really understand why Sykes are insisting on this given the enhanced cleaning regimes? We only had two minor quibbles with the property with both of us being on the large (but not very large) side: 1. It was a very tight squeeze getting into the shower due to the design of the doors 2. We chose a property with a king size bed but the duvet only just covered the mattress when there was no one in the bed which meant one of us was often not covered. My only other comment related to the local pub. There was only one close enough to walk to so we chose to eat there on the night we arrived. I phoned on the Wednesday before to try to book a table but they were already fully booked. We managed to eat at an outside table but that could have been a problem in inclement weather. The food was delicious and we would recommend the Old Inn - it would perhaps be helpful though if the owners could warn people that they need to book several days before arrival if that is possible?

Mr Scrivener, September 2020

Very good cottage, so good we have booked for next year..

Mr Ing, September 2020

Me and my family enjoyed our stay at the Old Cottage.. We had a comfortable stay and the facilities were satisfactory. However, on the first night we found a frog in the downstairs bedroom jumping about but which I did capture and let go outside but it did freak out kids. Also on the website the images of the property included a table tennis table but on arrival there wasn’t one. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I would recommend it to any family looking for a nice family cottage.

Mrs Evans, July 2020

Accommodation was excellent.. The only drawback and the reason I have marked it down was that both bathrooms were on the ground floor and as ancients we found it difficult going downstairs in the night!!!.

Mr Duckworth, July 2019

I was not satisfied with the outside facilities.. The tiny patio with table and chairs is described as "Private" but is in fact in full view of the other properties. We did not feel comfortable when sitting there.

Mrs Major, July 2019

The en suite shower head had to be held as fixing had broken, loo roll holder kept falling off.. Living room furniture not the most comfortable. Few serious cobwebs in higher areas, but this is understandable, given the setting. A carton of milk on arrival would have been a nice touch, although shops are close. Photos of kitchen didn't do it justice, not enough made of outside area on photographs. Beds beautifully comfortable, lovely, peaceful setting with very pleasant neighbours. Overall, had a lovely stay, wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you, will stay again and recommend. Lynne

We were going away as a family, my Mum is not well and needed somewhere where she could relax and still enjoy being away.. All my family thoroughly enjoyed stopping here and my Mum felt so much better. You have everything you need, often I have been away and you can’t find something, we did find this was the case.

A wonderful week at a lovely cottage.. Close to Weston super Mare, Cheddar Gorge, & Wells. We mostly relaxed in the cottage and enjoyed a local quiz on the Friday night for their twinning charity. Great fun .

Ms Canham

Lovely cottage in a great location for visiting sights of Somerset.. Well equipped. Ground floor ensuite bedroom was perfect for a member of the party with access issues. Highly recommended.

Mrs Ratcliffe

A lovely holiday cottage, very well stocked for a self catering property.. Minor issue with one of the showers and there wasn't much room in the upstairs double bedroom (due to a super king size bed). This didn't stop us from having a great time, thanks!

Mr Johnson

Nice cottage in quiet location.. Only one pub that gets busy & you have to book to get a table.village shop looks like it’s closing (doesn’t sell much anyway) but supermarket only 2 miles away

Ms Grosvenor

Lovely cottage in the middle of a quaint village.. The inside is immaculate. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The owners of the place were available but not intrusive. The place lost a star because the outside space was a bit of a disappointment. Not much room for the kids to run around and the bbq was basic. The location is great for exploring all the local beaches and there's tons of stuff around for the kids to do. The nearest beach is "uphill sands" which was deserted every time we went, in the middle of August! Highly recommended.

The Old Stable is a very comfortable and spotlessly clean place to stay.. Its location is within easy reach of the surrounding places to visit,we thoroughly enjoyed our stay,many thanks.Christine Farrow.

Mrs Price

The upstairs "double bedroom" is minuscule - there isn't any room to walk around the bed - so we ended up giving that one to our toddler and sleeping in the twin room ourselves! None of the bedrooms have wardrobes - the only hanging space is a little rack of hooks against the wall in each room. Apart from that, it was fine - comfortable, clean and well-equipped.

A delightful cottage that was nicely prepared by the owners who even provided a welcome bottle of wine for Christmas - nice touch.. The underfloor heating is wonderful, the beds comfortable, excellent bathroom and kitchen facilities and so spacious that we could host a meal for 8 on Christmas Eve without it being a squeeze. For a winter setting, the wood-burner (that heated lounge and kitchen) was much appreciated. The parking is more than adequate and the adjoining community room a popular venue for table tennis. Although by no means a show stopper, the tv is small but as it was hardly used this did not detract from our stay. The only ongoing frustration was the slow and unpredictable wifi (BT) that continued to let us down. Overall, a great facility and we would be delighted to return.

We had a brilliant holiday, everything was clean and tidy on arrival.. A very peaceful location. When next down that way, wouldn't hesitate to use the the same accommodation.

Mr Greenwood, October 2016

This was our first experience of Sykes Cottages and I don't think it will be our last.. The location was perfect, in a quiet area but not isolated with easy access to attractions in the surrounding area. The cottage felt homely, comfortable, welcoming and was very well appointed. They have made very clever use of the space available and although my first impression was that it was smaller than I had expected, it never felt cramped. It was the little touches that made the cottage so special. Both of our teenage sons loved it and gave it 10/10.

Three of us stayed at the Old Stable and enjoyed the tranquility of a small village whilst still being close enough to the coast. The property is full of character and all the facilities were in very good order. The provision of a bedroom, bathroom and ensuite on the ground floor was a great benefit for my elderly mother. We would certainly holiday there again.

Mrs Beckett, August 2016

We loved our stay at The Old Stable.. It's well equipped and comfortable. The owner was very friendly on arrival too!

The accommodation catered for all the age groups in our party of 4 staying for the week. The downstairs bedroom with en-suite was ideal for my parents who are pensioners so no need to use the stairs During the Autumn week we stayed the accommodation was very cosy and warm. Lovely location with plenty of surrounding attractions. We all had a lovely time staying here.

It was a short stay for three generations of our family and the Stable accommodation was excellent. A recent refurbish was great quality, and it was well laid out with plenty of space for everyone. Even with the wet weather we were quite happy to stay put indoors, and the youngest was able to run around happily. Would recommend without a doubt.

It was a beautifully renovated cottage with warm under floor heating and a wood burner. As we stayed over Christmas this made for a luxurious cosy place to stay. The owner lived next door and was extremely friendly and helpful. The location of the cottage was 10 minutes (by car) away from the sea front and 2 minutes walking from a lovely old pub and general store. We couldn't have asked for more. We'd definitely love to stay again!

This is an outstanding property, stylishly furnished and well equipped. Homely, spacious and comfortable. Attention to details such as labels on recycling/compost bins, lighting, pictures on walls, books etc was appreciated. Our teenagers were impressed by the WiFi - just like being at home, we hardly saw them!

We had a lovely week at The Old Stable. We go to Weston Super Mare quite often as we have family there. The Old Stable was the best property we have stayed in - it was exceptionally clean and well looked after, we could not fault it in any way.

Mr Fricker

Very clean, well equipped and warm cottage. Good village location with a decent pub less than 5 mins walk, plus a village shop not much further. Well placed for the sea and easy access to Chedder, Wells, Glastonbury and up to Bristol. Good supermarkets just a short drive away.
