Stable Cottage Reviews

We had a wonderful stay at Stable Cottage. Its such an idyllic location, and the cottage has all the amenities you need. So geared up to staying with a dog too ours was so relaxed in her surroundings. Hot tub is a great touch too. Pete and Theresa are wonderful hosts, making us feel very welcome. We cant wait to return!

Our recent stay at Stable Cottage, Penhaligon Stud was unfortunately very underwhelming and the main issue stemmed from a complete lack in communication with the owner. I tried reaching out a full week before our stay via the Sykes booking platform and two direct calls to the mobile number listed. I received absolutely no response. Even Sykes contacted me later to explain that they had also tried calling and emailing the owner, to no avail. When I eventually asked the owner about this upon arrival, the response was not only dismissive but frankly quite unbelievable. They claimed they hadnt received any messages or calls despite their mobile number being clearly printed in their own welcome card, confirming I had the correct contact details. I found this lack of accountability frustrating and unprofessional. As for the stay itself, it sadly felt as though we werent particularly welcome. The atmosphere was cold and impersonal and there was no real effort made to ensure a warm or hospitable environment. The property was not up to the standard one would expect especially not for the price charged. There were stains on the kitchen cupboards, visible cobwebs in multiple areas and a concerning amount of dust under the radiators, showing that proper cleaning had been neglected. These are basic standards that should be met in any holiday accommodation, especially one listed through a reputable site like Sykes. If in doubt I have photos to prove. All in all, the experience left a sour taste. It felt like once the booking was secured, the owner had little interest in our experience or ensuring things went smoothly. Communication is a fundamental part of hospitality and it was completely absent here. Sadly, I wouldnt return, nor would I recommend this property to others. It was a real letdown.

Lovely cottage in a gorgeous setting with endless views and horses with foals close by. Spotlessly clean with everything you need for your stay. Enclosed garden was brilliant for our puppy who could come and go up and down the stairs without us worrying where she was. Hosts were friendly and approachable and made us feel welcome.

Stayed at Stable cottage for a third time. Theresa and Pete are the perfect hosts and make you feel very welcome. Lovely to get out with the camera as the horses are perfect photo subjects. Beautiful landscape to just sit and take in watching the red kites. Thank you Theresa and Pete

Suzanne

Gorgeous cottage with stunning views and with everything you could need provided. The owners are fantastic, really helpful and friendly. We found some great walks and places to visit. Highly recommend.

All round amazing property. Pete and Theresa were very accommodating and welcoming. Such a beautiful place with lovely scenery. Seeing all of their animals was great too sorry for Kody barking at them occasionally! Would definitely come back and also recommend this property to family and friends x

Amanda

Great stay would totally recommend, was fortune enough to be there when a mare had her foal . I learnt so many interesting things about Warm Blood horses and could see how loved they are . The apartment had everything we needed plus more, with such lovely touches, ie fresh eggs and a bottle of Prosecco on our arrival .The bed was extremely comfy . The apartment overlooked such beautiful settings , which is true to the description of AONB area of natural beauty . Thank you to Teresa , Pete and Philippa , I know I probably became a nuisance asking so many questions , but found it absolutely fascinating and thank you for including us .

Lovely cottage in an idyllic setting. Owners really friendly and helpful and fired up the hot tub up for us while we were out. Lovely quality fixtures and bed linen.

We had a lovely stay at stable cottage, it's such a beautiful place with stunning views. The hot tub was just what we needed after long walks and the owners were great hosts. We can't wait to come back in the not so near future!

Lovely stay, owners were welcoming and very helpful. Brilliant secure garden and perfect place for a larger dog.

Lovely, well equipped cottage with stunning scenery. Perfect base for walks to Long Mund, Carding Mill Valley, Stiperstones etc. Hosts were on hand for any issues and welcoming. Definetly recommend and will be returning.

Was such a beautiful place to stay, hosts were so welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. We needed somewhere secure for our dogs and it was perfect for them. Not too far from supermarkets and beautiful walks nearby. Amazingly priced too, will definitely go back!

Great property with wonderful hosts.

Andrew

Stable cottage is perfect in every way, from the moment we arrived. The character of the cottage and the scenery were first class. Excellent facilities , clean and comfortable. The Swedish hot tub is lovely after a day's walking the fells . As this is a working farm, amazing to see the horses and sheep in the paddocks and so friendly a great experience! The owners Theresa and Pete made us feel at home, thank you both, we would love to return.

Stephen

A beautiful setting in the middle of the Shropshire Hills. Fantastic walks all around the area just a short drive away. The Stable Cottage is well set out, comfortable and has it's own secure garden for you and your dogs. The views are wonderful. Several, beautiful and unspoiled villages are within a short drive and worth visiting. I would recommend Stable Cottage to anyone wanting a quiet time away with plenty to do in the local area.

A really lovely cottage in stunning countryside. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful. We unfortunately had to cut our stay short due to family circumstances. We would definitely recommend.

Fantastic cottage with memorising views. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. During our start the owner gave us the opportunity to see a foal that was born during our stay. Perfect country stay with lots of scenic walks. Short drive to local shops and local pub.

Hayley Claire

We spent a wonderful few days at Stable Cottage. The property was so welcoming and so thoughtfully decorated, and it had everything we could possibly need for our stay. Or hosts were fantastic and always on hand. The landscape was beautiful and peaceful and watching the stars come out from the hot tub was a delight. There were many interesting places nearby to discover with our dogs and we enjoyed coming back to the cottage to relax. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday we hope to visit again one day!

Pete and Theresa really made us feel welcome. They are both so friendly and did everything they could to make our stay a treat. The property is well maintained and very well equipped, plus the views are amazing.

Matthew

Perfect stay. Loved everything about it!

A really lovely place to stay, we would definitely recommend. Stable cottage is in a stunning location and is perfectly well equipped and comfortable. We slept like logs! Plenty of beautiful villages and towns to visit and lots of good dog walks. The owners, Pete and Theresa are very friendly but not obtrusive. We would definitely like to stay again

Harold

This is a well thought out accommodation which provides a great base to explore the area, both around the long mynd and further afield. I would highly recommend it to others seeking a restful stay in a delightful setting.

Rachael

My husband and I and our two dogs have just enjoyed a wonderful stay here for Christmas. After a very busy year for us both we really wanted somewhere we could stay and just relax and this property was perfect. The owners provided us with a Christmas tree and decorations which made it feel very festive and cosy. Our two dogs absolutely loved the secure little garden with grass for them to run around and be safe and while we didnt use the hot tub, the owners were ready to heat it up had we asked and were very accommodating. There is everything in the property provided that you could possibly need and we cooked a wonderful Christmas dinner with all the amenities at hand. Overall a wonderful place, amazing views and near enough to local towns to visit such as Ludlow and Shrewsbury.

We booked our holiday for the purpose of getting away from fireworks with our pooches. We couldnt have asked for any more. It was perfect. Quiet and peaceful. The cottage had everything you could possibly need. It was warm and cosy every utensil you could ever need. Coco our cockapoo loved the sheep thing she thought it was one of her own kind We will certainly recommend

Amanda

We had a lovely 3 night break at stable cottage, peaceful, relaxing, beautiful views, Theresa and Pete were there if we needed them but left us to enjoy our time there. There wasn't a thing I could think of that the cottage hadn't got, very well thought out and very well equipped and very spacious, there was instant coffee, tassimo machine with pods, filtered coffee just as much choice with the tea. I was very impressed, couldn't rate this place enough.... Thankyou Theresa and Pete

Great place to stay. Pub just up the road and small town only 3miles away for anything. We used has a half way point from home and Barmouth took dog's to beach.

Hayley

We had an absolutely amazing time with our 2 dogs and our toddler here, the apartment is gorgeous and had everything we could possibly need, the location is stunning and quiet and the owners were lovely people who went out their way to make sure we were happy there. Really couldn't rate it enough, we've already recommended it to friends and we'll certainly be back, you won't be disappointed staying here.
