A nice property with a good location. The cottage was very dog friendly, and one notable big plus point was that there was a private enclosed courtyard garden for the dogs to have some outdoor space. There was also a secure parking space for the car. We did have a couple of problems - we couldn’t get the TV to work as it relied on WiFi connection and the screen kept freezing, and we also had a couple of issues with the heating but the owners helped us resolve these. All in all a good stay for a couple with dogs

Beautiful location amazing cottage

Stable cottage if far better than we had imagined, when arriving we were wowed with the church spire directly behind Stable cottage, a nice sercure garden for the dogs and then you enter to cottage WOW what a beautiful place to holiday it was extremely warm and cosy and screams luxury we had 2 children 2 dogs and 2 adults and there was ample room. It has everything you could need and more even coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival. Painswick was lovely to have a walk around pop into a local pub/cafe and plenty of places to eat. It’s far enough for peace a quite but there is plenty of places close by to pop too. We will be back and can’t wait I can only imagine how beautiful it is spring and summer sitting in the garden eating. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Perfect Stay

My wife and I enjoyed five nights in the Stable Cottage. Because the weather was mostly perfect, we left the doors and windows open and enjoyed the air. The owner dropped in. She was delightful.

Great location with some quirks

Property as advertised, clean, quiet, well furnished. Cotswolds location meant it felt less value for the cost compared to say Devon or Dorset. Upstairs bedroom had several compromises as it's up steep low headroom stairs, open to the downstairs and bedside light position is fixed too near to the headboard. I checked with the agency about bringing a stair gate as there was no clear picture of the stairs and was told one not provided but yes I could bring my own, which was correct except there is no way to secure a gate to the stairs. Also, there were landscaping works ongoing which we were not informed about. The workmen were extremely polite and accommodating but we had to move some in work items about to make the garden dog safe, on occasion we had to negotiate vehicle access and several tipper trucks of gravel were delivered which covered our cars in dust. Nothing particularly intrusive but we should have been told of the works beforehand.

Stable Cottage stay

My husband and I spent an excellent three days at Stable Cottage. Very well equipped and a beautiful space with so much room outside. The Pétanque was an great addition and led to some competitive evenings of play! Stunning cottage in a stunning location. Would highly recommend.

A great choice all round.

Stable Cottage is such a relaxing place to stay. Well provided with cooking equipment, comfy seating and plenty of space. Even a decent sized teapot which we appreciated. The outdoor space gets the afternoon sun. Plenty of storage space for clothes too. The Internet TV is a bit slow and limited to player, amazon and YouTube so I would recommend taking an HDMI cable fir more Onside parking is a bonus and it's easy to walk into Painswick to sample the cafes and pubs. We would definitely go back.

Beautiful private cottage in lovely village

What a find! This beautifully decorated comfortable cottage was located in private grounds with its own secure garden for our dog. Fully stocked with everything you need, a home from home. We loved the boules area as a family, playing in the evenings. Located centrally in Painswick we thoroughly enjoyed a circular walk up to Painswick Beacon, enjoying breathtaking views along the way. (8km). A great base to visit other areas too.
