Perfect for short stays

This was a perfect little cottage to stay in to take a short break, easy to find, a kind contact to help us with questions. The hot tub was perfect, rooms and furnishings are very comfortable too, the only downside is that this cottage does not have a stove/hob, we made the mistake of assuming, be careful in the planning! Lovely location too, close to so many supermarkets. A very comfortable stay

Fabulous stable

We stayed here for a long weekend and had the best time. The kitchen is small but well-equipped, the owners provided things like salt, pepper, olive oil, tea and coffee etc. The bed was super comfy. Everywhere was decorated lovely. The location was great for exploring different places in The Cotswolds. The stable itself is in the beautiful grounds of the owners’ home but still very private and we can’t rate it enough, will definitely be back!

Keeper’s Stable

Keeper’s Stable is in a beautiful location on the edge of the countryside - you can literally walk from the doorstep. It’s a gorgeous place to stay and everything has been finished to a high standard. Big thanks to James for being so helpful with answering questions and giving advice. We loved it and would love to come back.

Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

We stayed with James for 4 nights in early Sept and had an amazing time. James was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome in his lovely stable. There is a woods at the back that was great for a little stroll with the dogs, there is plenty around to do and see and the stable is lovely. We’ll very likely return to the Cotswolds and James’ stable will be the first place I’d look for accommodation. Thanks for having us James!

Lovely Little Escape

This is a very charming little place to stay, it's very cozy and is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Pros: • Hot tub is spacious and very relaxing • Beautiful woods that can be explored backing right onto the property • Generally clean and underfloor heating is lovely (a few minor cleanliness issues eg. hair in shower) • Appreciated the manual being left for the microwave oven, not having experience with this made it very easy to cook! The microwave is quite large but not hugely practical for more than 1 larger item. A few cons: • We didn't realise that the two bedrooms are linked and one bedroom required walking through to gain access to the other. We stayed with two friends so this made it slightly awkward throughout the night having to go through the room of others sleeping. I think it would be nice to have a floorplan on the booking. However, this wouldn't be an issue with a family. • The two single beds are also extremely narrow and much smaller than a standard single making sleeping uncomfortable. • There are a few utensils/home items that would be nice to consider: a pizza cutter, a bathroom mat, and a bathroom hand towel. There are also no shelves in the bathroom to put anything except a very small wooden window ledge for 4 guests' items. • No local shop without driving. The supermarket was 15-minute drive. If you're well prepared this isn't a problem and being in the middle of nowhere is charming; but for last-minute things, driving will be required.

6/10 Okay

A nice quiet stable on a large estate, but alot of things need actions to inprove

Rating: 2/5 My recent stay at keepers stable was a mixed bag of pros and cons. While there were some enjoyable aspects, there were also several issues that detracted from the overall experience. On the plus side, the hot tub was a highlight. It offered a fantastic view of the woods, especially when it was dark, creating a relaxing and serene atmosphere. However, there were several negatives that need to be addressed. The presence of a double garage right outside the front door was off-putting, making it feel like we were staying in someone's backyard rather than a secluded cabin. The ring camera on the garage, coupled with a bright security light that activated every five minutes through the night, was intrusive and disrupted the tranquility of the surroundings, even shining into the bedrooms despite the curtains being drawn. The condition of the cutlery was also disappointing. The knives in the knife block were rusty, blunt, and two of them had their points snapped off. This lack of attention to detail was concerning. The kitchen area was quite small, and the induction hob limited what we could cook. This might not be an issue for everyone, but for those who enjoy cooking during their stay, it could be a drawback. We also had an issue with the water and heating system, which was set to auto without our knowledge. This resulted in us having to wait for hot water on a cold winter evening, which was inconvenient, both front and back door were really really STIFF to open. This needs addressing urgently. Privacy was another concern. Being in someone's garden, it felt like we were constantly being observed by the main house. This detracted from the sense of seclusion and relaxation that one would expect from a cabin getaway. The owners could put a eco friendly tree wall (like centre parcs) from where they’ve parked their jet ski to wrap around to the hot tub Lastly, there was an unpleasant smell of sewage near the hot tub. While it didn't affect the cabin itself, it was a noticeable and off-putting odor. In conclusion, while we had some positive aspects, there were several issues that need to be addressed. Improvements in privacy, cutlery quality, kitchen space, and communication regarding the water and heating system would greatly enhance the overall experience for future guests and lastly get rid of the “thank you card” you have or at least the picture. You’ve pictured the main house and the swimming pool ( that we don’t have access to) it’s like here is what you could of had. For such a large house / estate, you just expect the standards to be much higher rather than feeling like we were just peasants.
