This superb property, located in the peaceful village of Stawell, is an ideal place for the family to enjoy some countryside tranquillity. Sleeping four across two bedrooms, plus space for two furry family members, it won’t be long until you’re feeling refreshed and ready to discover all the wonders that are just outside the door. Only 11 miles from historic Glastonbury, you and your family can enjoy the National Trust’s Tor, the Abbey as well as plenty of shops and cafes that welcome four-pawed pals. Once you’re back home, sink into the sofas and relax in front of the wood burner, your canine by your feet.

 

This single-level barn conversion is bright and welcoming with pretty original features, including exposed wooden beams and vaulted ceilings. The open-plan living area makes for a sociable and happy space to come back to after a long day sightseeing, and warm homely touches make it a calming place to wind down in the evening. There’s no need to eat out since the kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm, plus you can eat alfresco in the enclosed courtyard while the dogs stretch their legs.

Very quiet, restful holiday, wonderful hot tub. Could be a lovely cottage with a few improvements. Some good places to eat a fairly short distance away. Village does not have the facility of a small shop or pub.

This holiday was the most restful we have had in a while. The bed is very comfortable and the luxury of the log burner was appreciated in the cold weather. Very peaceful location and even with the owners being next door was very private. There is plenty of local walks to take our doggies. Is situated perfectly to get to Chester gorge and Wells cathRead moreedral. Did not use the hot tub due to the weather but nice to have if wanted. Plenty of logs provided by the owners for the log burner. Hide

The Stables is a lovely place to stay and feels very cosy and we were completely relaxed. There is everything you need if you want to self cater, or if not, there are several pubs within a short driving distance. The hot tub is great, we only used it once as our visit was in the middle of December so would like to go back and give it a try in warmeRead morer weather and make more use of the outside space.
