The Stables Reviews

Absolutely amazing property, location just everything about it. Couldnt fault anything
Andrew
Excellent property for large group celebrations
Angela
We had a great weekend as a group of 14 at The Stables The weather wasnt great but the hot tub and games room gave lots of entertainment along with our own murder mystery night! Kiddies Loved hearing the donkey and seeing the sheep Beautiful setting but couldnt work the TV Fantastic amount of crockery, pans etc and empty cupboard space for our food, wine etc
Myself and a group of friends recently stayed at the stables for a 40th birthday and we had the best time. Both the main building, the Annex and outside area were beautifully maintained and well equipped for all your needs, and I would definitely return and recommend to others. Perfect for all occasions, wether with a group of friends, or with a large family, theres something for everyone. The owners were easily contactable, and were able to assist with all enquires before and during our stay.
Great for Gatherings! The Stables and Annexe were clean and comfortable, ideal for our multigenerational family gathering. Special mention for the social spaces, games room and hot tube which were superb and special thanks to our lovely host Louise!
Upon arrival we were greeted by a beautiful view. The rooms are huge and clean and we had plenty of towels. The property was ideal for our 12 guests and the games room was a great way of bringing everyone together as was the communal eating area. I will 100 be recommending this property to everyone I know going forward. Thank you to Louise and family for having us!
The house and annex was beautifully clean. we received a welcome pack with afternoon goodies. We were a party of 16. 13 adults & 3 kids. We organised a supermarket delivery shortly after arriving. Locality was brilliant. Went to an activity centre Oakerwood , horse riding and after leaving the cottage, went to Elan Valley, went for walk , picnic and then Rhayader to see Red Kite Feeding Centre. Had a wonderful time. Would definitely return.
Sharon
Lovely property with lovely views. We went as 14 adults, you and old, a teen and a 3 year old and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The property is clean and spacious. We cooked every meal time and the house has everything you would need. The hot tub and games room went down great. The games room actually has more games than pictured. We had an issue with the noise when the cold water tap ran upstairs in the main house but the owner dealt with it. There was a nice welcome basket on arrival. There were a lot of flies coming in but that just comes with being on a farm so not a major issue. There is also another property joined on to the main annex for 11 people called the Hayloft so if you have a larger party, it would be ideal. Would go back again!
Robert
The Stables was well equipped and very comfortable. One comment we would make The Information Booklet needed more detail regarding the recycling procedure along with a more even mix of the recycling trays. But overall our stay was great!
Nicola
Fabulous property has everything you would need, lovely and warm and spotlessly clean
Amazing stay. Great location tucked away from the rest of the world but only a few minutes drive away from all youd need. Everything was clean and tidy and comfy. The beds were amazing. Any issues we had were swiftly dealt with. The only issue we did have was an oil refill but the owners acted swiftly and did all they could to sort us out. We loved our stay and had a wonderful holiday. That can be tricky for four families with young kids, but The Stables had everything we needed.
A beautiful place to stay. The house is kept to a high standard and would recommend to anyone.
Amarit
Absolutely amazing stay!
Nicola
We had a fantastic stay 10 adults and 5 children. Perfect for a big get together. Immaculate condition and location. Highly recommended
First impressions were fantastic the place looked amazing and matched our expectations all week through. Kitchen well equipped, beds, sofas very comfortable. Couple of things downstairs toilet flush not 100 & Upstairs stairrail bit loose. Games room was brilliant, having a few pool players in group was very impressed with table and new balls. Hole place was very warm and underfloor heating was a game changer. Much appreciated Thanks
Great place to stay and live in for a few days for a big group. The heating wasnt working when we got there but after a quick call the owners was there in a flash to sought it out. Also due to a storm the night before there was no water in the hot tub but was filled again the day after and up and running
Great house for a group of friends! Very well equipped kitchen, lovely hot tub & fantastically comfy settees. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & the beautiful views around the property.
Louise
Just got home after 3 nights at the incredibly beautiful Stables! Booked with my friends for my 30th birthday and it did not disappoint in any way! Arrived first to a bunch of flowers and balloons arranged by my boyfriend and kindly decorated by Louise who was so kind and friendly before, during and after the stay! I cant thank her enough
Steven
What a truly outstanding place for a complete, tranquil get away from it all property. Comfort & facilities in abundance. My only regret was having to leave. The owners on hand & were so helpful, A huge thank you to them for making it a memorable holiday that will not be forgotten.
Natalie
The Stables is the perfect place to stay for large groups. I would highly recommend visiting the waterfall and petting farm. The only downfall with the property was the main bathroom shower appeared to clog slightly while using it. But other than that, we had a great holiday!
Samantha
We stayed at The Stables with my 11 friends for my 24th birthday and honestly had the best 3 nights of our lives! Hot tub was constantly hot, showers were lovely and the beds were a dream! There was building work being done in the property directly across from us but we didnt hear a peep from them, instead as they were going on lunch breaksready to leave offering to nip to the shops for us for extra alcohol or food which was so lovely! the owner Louise was delightful too nothing was too much bother! The only problem we had with staying here was the flies, but in my opinion thats out of the owners hands so its more just a location thing.
Gillian
We had a lovely weekend with the family . The Stables felt spacious and comfortable, it would have been nice to have more seating outside . The hob was a little temperamental at times but overall a great time was had.
Amazing week away at The Stables. The owners were easy to contact and were amazing when we needed some help. The hot tub got plenty of use and the animals were super friendly. Facilities were perfect. The bath tub was devine and so much storage, that for the first holiday ever we didn't live out of our suitcase and instead put everything out. 1010. And would definitely consider a return in the future.
Sophie
Would definitely recommend and will be 100 returning! !
Lovely place really clean lovely welcome pack views amazing a really lovely ... Lovely place really clean lovely welcome pack views amazing a really lovely place we had a great weekend all 12 of us highly recommend it planning our next visit
Fantastic Property. . has everything u need for a brilliant get away.. views, hot tub, spacious, comfort all 5 star.. our friends have all asked us to rebook for next year!
Richard
Fantastic place to stay! Lovely living room which was used by our group and was the focal point of out stay. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless and very modern. Hottub was amazing, especially at night. Huge kitchen and fridge which was very helpful. Oven was a bit tricky to get to temperature but didn't take anything away from the experience. Master bedroom was also very lovely and the location overall was enough out of the way to enjoy the feeling of isolation but not too far away to pick up a local chinese takeaway from Knighton. Didnt realise the far side of the stables was another holiday let but didn't hear a sound from the people stopping there so wasn't as issue at all. Overall an amazing weekend away. Would recommend to anyone.
Rebecca
Amazing long weekend at the this wonderful cottage! And what a treat to find Christmas decorations, a present under the tree and a basket of local goodies on arrival! Fantastic communication with Louise and all the facilities needed for a very enjoyable weekend away with friends. We will definitely be returning, highly recommended!
Claire
This property was amazing, was so perfect for our girls Christmas. The owners had been great and contacted us prior to let us know some road closures. We even had a problem first night with getting the oven on and they arrived in no time to help us. We will be booking again for annual get together and will definitely be looking at this place direct with the owners.
Lauren
An absolutely beautiful property in a beautiful location. The owner had thought of everything. A lovely welcome hamper was waiting for us when we arrived. Have already recommended to family and friends and will certainly be booking again. 5 thank you
The whole visit was amazing from start to finish. Quality of all furnishings were above expectations. Only item we thought was missing was a speaker but we had our own. But that was only because we were a group on a family for a hen party, otherwise probably not required. Everyone in our group wants to return. Thank you for making our weekend one to remember for all the right reasons!
Spent a weekend here with some friends, the views were amazing, the hot tub was on point. All the rooms were clean and to a very good standard. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodation for a weekweekend away.
In a lovely setting and great if you want to switch off and relax. Nearest town is about a 10 min drive. The children loved the house and a great garden but their highlight was having the donkeys come down to the fence . The owners really went out of their way for anything we needed and the welcome basket was such a lovely touch we ordered more of the welsh cakes before we left . Would definitely recommend if youre wanting a complete rest .
Absolutely perfect weekend away! Such good value for money. Would recommend to anyone wanting a large group holiday.
Claire
The Stables is a very beautiful clean and wonderful place to stay. We had such a lovely time on our family getaway. The lounge is a wonderful set up for 12 people to sit and have fun. We definitely recommend and will be going back.
