Alison

Had a great weekend away, accommodation was perfect for us all. Our dog especially loved the garden to roam in and explore. It was very peaceful and relaxing.

Sharon

We found the house to be very comfortable and you thought of everything, we had a very nice stay and was very happy . Our dog eevee enjoyed the space of the garden and the ping pong balls ,that's why we bought more . Also the piece and quite was nice as well.

Beyond impressed! Such a special place to stay The Stable House is beautiful inside and out. Perfect for our relaxing family holiday, perfect for our two dogs especially the gorgeous, spacious garden. The whole place has a unique, happy vibe could not recommend highly enough, just hope we are lucky enough to stay again one day. Very clean from top to bottom, wonderful facilities and extremely comfortable beds! Thank you for our memorable holiday.

Howard

Generally, we were very happy with the accommodation and had a lovely family get together at Stable House. It was very useful to have the 3 bathshower rooms with 7 people staying. We also made good use of the garden, hot tub, patio area, tabletennis table and pool table. The kitchen dining area was well equipped, though we thought a bread bin might be a useful addition, and we felt that it would be useful to have more cupboard space in the kitchen for food storage. Cleanliness was generally fine, wouldn't say 'spotless', and there was a faint doggy smell on arrival but to be fair, there had been a lot of rain the week before and we were expecting a dog friendly property. I must stress that the above are minor comments, and didn't really detract from our very enjoyable week away.

Victoria

We loved staying here! The super king size bed was so comfy, the living room was a lovely space to relax in and the kitchendiner was great with everything we needed. The jacuzzi was brilliant and we spent so much time winding down after some great local dog walks. Our dog absolutely loved the big garden and we could relax knowing she couldn't get out I'd be more careful with small breeds though. We hope to come back as we didn't get to visit all the sights and tourist spots nearby because we were enjoying the house and garden so much. We hope to return with some friends next time as the other bedrooms were also lovely.

Deborah

My family group of 6 adults, 1 infant and 1 child had a fabulous stay to celebrate a birthday. Everything from the information, the owners extra assistance, location and surroundings, to the wonderful facilities was just perfect for us all. We thoroughly enjoyed the indoor and outdoor games, hot tub and the barbecue. The garden was spacious and shady which was needed in some very hot weather. We would not hesitate to recommend this holiday home.

Lovely home with perfect grounds. Listing made it quite clear it was on a farm, so we expected some noise, but it was perfectly quiet, we didn't hear anyone!! Very secure with the electric gate.

Super house and facilities. Great location. Will definitely return

Heather

This was a lovely place to stay, it had everything we needed and more! I'd like to thank the owner for mowing the footpath for us so we could walk the dogs behind the road.

Jessica

Thank you for a lovely stay! The property was very clean and comfortable, equipped with lots of games and things to do. The location is very peaceful but just a short drive from Yeovil and Sherborne where there is lots to see and explore. We would love to return in the future!

The stable house is stunning, it literally made us all gasp with excitement as we entered and started to explore. The house was dressed up for Christmas, the tree was beautiful and grand. Major hits were the pool table and hot tub. The welcome pack was such a great touch and one we were so thankful for. The location is perfect, from becoming a hermit for your stay or venturing to the very near local pub that also has an open fire room. This was one of our best Sykes stays so far and weve done a few. The owners really do think of everything you may need. We are hoping to book again for the warmer weather.

Lovely accommodation, well equipped. Very comfortable. Welcome chocolates, biscuits, milk and orange juice was a lovely touch. Secure garden for the dog.

Such a lovely house! This was our 3rd visit and every stay has been brilliant. It's the perfect place particularly if you have a dog our pup loved running around in the garden which is completely enclosed and dog safe. There's loads of local places to explore like the Nine Springs park and Frome which are beautiful! We hope to be back again in the future.

Amanda

A great property which suited our party very well. Plenty of utensils, cups, plates, glasses etc lovely large mugs which were great!! The whole house had a homely feel to it, which was also lovely and warm and spacious. The pool table in the lounge was an added bonus with many a tournament had by our party! We had 2 dogs who found the large enclosed garden great for pottering about it. The courtyard area with the hot tub is delightful especially when you turn the outside garden lights on so pretty! All beds were comfy and bedrooms spacious. Of the 4 bedrooms, 1 is ensuite, with the other 3 bedroom sharing a large bathroom down the landing. The other bathroom is downstairs near the back door which was useful when coming in from the hot tub. Plenty of car parking too. I would have no hesitation in booking this property again.

Anamarie

A long weekend with girlfriends. This house was perfect, very well equipped, spacious and comfortable. We loved the hot tub with the fairy lights. We were lucky with the weather and spent a day in lovely Sherborne and another at Montacute House National Trust. Theres clearly so much more to do both at the house and around and about. We had a very enjoyable time. Thank you for this fabulous property.

Samantha

The house is really lovely, charming and characterful. The location is also really lovely. It was perfect for our family gettogether, and everyone really enjoyed being there. What was a little disappointing was that upon arrival, we discovered that certain elements of the kitchen were not in good condition. The cutlery drawer, the utensil drawer and the Airfryer were in a pretty disgusting state. We had to wash all the cutlery and utensils and clean out the drawers themselves. The Air Fryer also needed to be thoroughly cleaned before use. The Ensuite bathroom was also not completely clean. There were hairs in the shower and around the loo. This slightly detracted from our stay.

Jessica

Really lovely property. It was very spacious, there was plenty of crockery, trays, cutlery etc for a large group. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor space, and it was a short drive from the lovely town of Sherborne. We would love to stay again.

Darren

What a lovely place. Definitely recommend

The house was absolutely perfect. The pool table and table tennis was a massive hit with our kids. And chilling in the hot tub at the end of the day in the pretty courtyard was just lovely. Everything had been thought of. There was enough kitchen utensils and cutlery, and chairs for everyone in each room. My kids had great fun using all the cushions to build a pillow fort in the living room. Beautiful location. Couldn't recommended this place more. Plus I accidently left some clothes behind and the owner was so helpful.

Danielle

We absolutely loved our time at The Stable House, we'd definitely come back

We loved this cottage. Surpassed all our expectations and so many extra touches really added to the stay. Beautifully done out and really spacious The owners couldnt have been more helpful

Neville

Beautiful house Very well kitted out The owner was responsive and helpful to any queries We particularly loved the outside eating area, gorgeous big equipped garden and very warm hot tub.

Rachel

Beautiful house and garden. Really clean and well equipped. Loved the outdoor table tennis table! Very dog friendly. Owner was charming and helpful

Elizabeth

Stable House was perfect for a family winter holiday. Ample space and the pool table a real bonus also the hot tub much enjoyed by us females !! The enclosed garden was safely explored by our 2 dogs as well. The house was lovely, clean and very well equipped.

Perfect property for a large family gettogether Facilities were just right with the pool table being a winner ! Owners nearby to help with any queries Great location for exploring Somerset and the Dorset coast

Shirley

This was an amazing place,loved the hot tub and pool table had many hours of fun . Was greeted by Sarah and was made to feel very welcome straight away. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a lovely holiday. The house it self was absolutely lovely and equipped with everything you could ever need for a lovely holiday. Definitely a 10 out 10

The Stables is a lovely combination of old and new. The new kitchen area is fabulous and the old lounge is cosy with the added bonus of the poolfootball tables. The hot tub and garden are a delight, shame weather wasnt better to enjoy both more. I would worry about the deep stone steps for young children or older people though to get to and from the house but ok for us. We had a lovely time. The little extras on our arrival were an added bonus, thank you Sarah.

Many thanks for a fabulous house! Beautifully kept and very spacious. Perfect for a family Golden Wedding celebration!

The house is beautiful, and very well equipped. It was just perfect for us as a family holiday base. The beds are amazingly comfortable and everyone slept well. We loved the large safe garden and the jacuzzi. We were fortunate to have a week of lovely weather and enjoyed visits to Monkey world and Weymouth and Sherbourne. The Abbey is beautiful.

The 2 bathrooms upstairs were all at one end of the first floor and most of the bedrooms were the other end. Consequently people walking up and along on the first floor at night. Otherwise it was lovely and very comfy

Gaynor

We had a lovely stay. The house and garden is beautiful. Could have easily stayed for longer. Will definitely be returning

A beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting. The Stables had gorgeous furnishing with everything that we needed. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

Beverley

Had a lovely experience at The Stable House

We had a fantastic stay at The Stable House. It was the perfect place to celebrate hubbys 50th Birthday. Facilities and layout are fantastic. Hot tub and pool table were well used and we had 16 people playing charades in the living room on Saturday evening. Very spacious! Lovely pubs and dog walks nearby. Easy access to big supermarkets, shops and takeaways in Yeovil only 10 minutes by car!

Everything was good thank you,very well facilitated great location, big comfortable bedrooms showers were very good. Very cosy and warm loved the log fire.

Jackie

We had a lovely stay in The Stable House which was warm and cosy for our December booking. The owner had put up a Christmas tree which was a lovely touch. The house was very well equipped for the seven of us, the beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of seating in the living room. The owner gave us a tip for a Christmassy place to visit nearby which was very useful. Would highly recommend for a family get together.

Gillian

Lovely stay a little issue with the heating in one room and flooding outside the front door and car park Will need wellies next time!
