The Stables Reviews

Eamonn
It was a delightful, modern property with a cosy bed, hot tub and complimentary milk and cupcakes. The location was good for access to Hereford and other local towns. Our only negative comment will be that the property was close to a busy road so it was noisy at peak times.
2nd visit , beautiful accommodation. Everything you need for a short stay to a week of sightseeing. 5 star
Sharon
Lovely property, with nothing spared. Tea, coffee etc provided, towels for the hot tub, local pub across the road. Central location for Hereford, Ledbury, HayonWye. Would certainly return.
Eveline
Very well thought out with lots of tiny extras that make you fee welcome after a long journey. The pooch benefitted from an enclosed area which kept her fully secure. Hot tub was exceptionally clean. Good size TV. Off road parking in secure area. It is as describe with the added touches making it better. One of the best places we have stayed.
Had a lovely stay. Accommodation has everything you need. Hot tub was lovely to relax after a day exploring.
The property was furnished to a high standard with everything you need for a comfortable stay, attention to detail was high. Surrounding area is very pretty and the location a good Central point for visiting other locations. Lovely cupcakes on arrival and doggy treats which were appreciated and the relaxing hot tub inviting. If I had to provide any negative comments, I would just like to mention that a fulllength mirror would be useful, the light in the bathroom which comes on automatically needs the timer reducing so that the light doesn't stay on so long when trying to sleep and as the barn is very warm, a fan would be useful to cool things down.
Andrew
Wonderful property loved it
Due to the immense heat the stables would have really benefited from having air con. The toilet also needs a window that can be opened or a vent. The location and overall finish to the property was brilliant
Simply stunning. The owners, Jerrod and Steph should be very proud of what theyve achieved.
We had a wonderful stay at The Stables. It is exactly as described, sparkling clean, beautiful furnishings, everthing you would need included a real home from home. Great location for exploring the area. Parking on site is secure and allocated. The hot tub at the end of the day was fabulous, checked and cleaned daily, and water changed for every new booking. Could fault a thing! Steph and Jarrod were great hosts, discreet but on hand. Recommended Legges it is a must visit! Thank you for the lovely welcome pack and doggy treats. We will return!
Carole
A beautiful property, we were looking for a few days of calm and relaxation which is exactly what we found here. Everything was as expected, hot tub was a delight. Lovely quirky pub over the road with friendly locals and close to Hereford for restaurants and shopping.
Jennifer
This is our third stay at The Stables and it feels like a home from home. The property is always outstandingly cosy, clean and comfortable. We were blessed with great weather this time and it was lovely to sit in the hot tub under the stars, after a long day's walking. We will definitely be booking again for next year.
Really enjoyed our stay, its very nice, clean and comfortable, with everything we needed, booked it because of the hot tub which was fab! My mistake was not taking my own pillow, I found the provided pillows didnt suit me, I have travelled a lot & sleep much better with my pillow, not down to them at all, I need to remember my pillow!
Property lovely and clean, hot tub is very good the best one we've have had. The heating is great and heats up quickly. Cons about the property is that every lodge that is loadingunloading parks outside the big window so it felt like you had to keep the blinds closed for privacy otherwise they could look in at you sitting on the sofa. Property looks smaller than the photos. The gate to other lodges is attached to the side of this Lodge and everytime someone goes through it bangs. A hoover or big brush would have been handy, after a few days there it definitely needed it.
Amazing holiday we all hired 3 barns for a family Christmas together, it was fantastic. Accomendation was warm, welcoming and well equipped. Slept well, hot tub was a special treat for us, also sitting by the log burner in the evenings with a glass of champagne, playing a board game,made this one of our best family Christmas ever. Steph & Jarrod were friendly and warm, they have thought of everything to make our stay welcoming There isn't anything we could of added. We will definitely be booking again.
A super conversion that has been equipped to a high standard. It has everything you need for a very enjoyable stay and was spotlessly clean The hot tub was brilliant and we made use of it every day, sometimes twice a day. Jarrod and Steph were very friendly and helpful and a big thanks for the cakes and milk, and for doggy biscuits. Set on a lovely estate with a great garden for the dogs it felt very cosy. Being on a busy road there was a fair bit of traffic noise during the day and evening but not enough to bother us . Our only small issue was that we seemed to have restricted WiFi access and couldnt open all emails and certain apps on our phones. This again was not a big issue whilst away on holiday and wouldnt stop us staying again. Thanks again both for a wonderful stay. Les and Jan & Misty
Nicholas
Lovely accommodation. Owners very friendly and helpful with recommendations with places to visit. Garden area perfect for our dogs. Hot tub was perfect and not overlooked. Would definitely stay again.
Had a great stay here at the Stables. Lovely property and surroundings. The Stables was well equipped with everything we needed and was really clean. Loved the hot tub. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
Lovely clean place , with parking . Everything you need ,lovely doggie biscuits and cupcakes for humans. Could do with full length mirror which is being really pickie as I can not find anything to fault the place with. Lovely local pub across the road
Excellent property and had everything you could need. Some fantastic places to visit. Only small thing we would recommend is a mirror in the bathroom and maybe a long one in the bedroom.
We had a wonderful time at the stables. Everything was spotlessly clean. Great location. Hot tub a real bonus after a long day walking. Also nice to have the log burner.
All as expected and presented to a high standard. The beautiful cup cakes, milk in fridge and biscuits for the dog were a nice touch. Top marks for cleanliness which made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We will be back. Steve and Marie.
Could not recommend more highly. Lovely comfortable cottage, great hot tub and surrounding garden. Great for dogs too.All cleaning products were provided. Owners are lovely.
Carlie
Lovely accommodation, we had a lovely week & will definitely return to the stables.
Jennifer
This was our second trip to The Stables we never stay in the same place more than once and as last time, we had a wonderful stay, with our two dogs. The log burner and hot tub were most welcome! The property is always clean and comfortable. The dogs love the run of the garden and the dog wash was extremely well used after some VERY muddy walks. My only criticism if I had to give one is that the zip link bed could do with a mattress topper so you don't feel like you are falling down the middle. We are 100 going to be booking again.
Absolutely amazing, the shared green space was perfect. It was such a cosy place, would happily stay again!
Thank you, we had a lovely stay at The Stables. It was clean, comfortable, well equipped and the location was ideal for visiting surrounding areas.
This was our second visit to the stables and it certainly won't be our last. The property was spotless and everything you need is thought of and catered for. The hot tub as always a fabulous treat and was well used and most welcome no matter the weather! The local area has much to see and do from national trusts or close to the towns hereford or ross on wye. The stables is a good base for exploring this area. For us we just kicked back and really chilled out. We really do thank steph and jarrod for going the extra mile and sharing such a luxury pet friendly gem. For us it is a wonderful peaceful haven away from a manic city life. Shame we are back home and shift work calling us!
Cassandra
We had an amazing week at The Stables. It was kitted out with everything we needed for the perfect stay. On arrival it was very clean and we really appreciated the welcoming cupcakes! Delicious! Our dog was also very settled there and loved exploring the shared open space between the accommodations. The bed was extremely comfy, although the join between the twin beds took a while to get used to. That was probably the only thing we would change. We loved the hot tub, very relaxing! We would definitely stay again, especially as it was in a great location for exploring Hereford, Worcester, and many other nice attractions within short driving distance. 1010, absolutely perfect!
A very clean and well presented property ideally situated for exploring the three shires and beyond. The hot tub is a definite bonus.
Rebecca
It was clean, the hot tub was amazing. The only thing that let it down was the bed it was very comfortable at all I am normally OK with sleeping anywhere I go but I struggled.
We had a lovely stay at the stables it was all that was described. The hot tub was fantastic.Everything was just perfect our dogs also had a great time we would highly recommend TheStables Alan and Julie
Had an amazing week staying at The Stables. Beautiful places to walk and so nice to come back to a hot tub in the afternoons. Relaxing & very beautiful surroundings.
Such a lovely stay! Myself, my mum and our Labrador Jaxx stayed for 2 nights. Very spacious and well decorated. Extremely clean! After a long drive from Manchester, we relaxed in the hottub for a couple of hours. It was so comfortable and extremely relaxing. The bed was extremely comfy and we both enjoyed a long sleep. Separate towels provided for the hottub and bathroom. We went to the Credenhill Woods for a walk with the dog. Very hilly but it was well enjoyed. Then we went to the Bastion Street Festival in Hereford town centre which was incredible. I couldnt fault my stay and would definitely book again!! Thanks so much x
Had a fabulous week in this gem of a cottage. Home from home, everything covered, spotlessly clean. Private hot tub a bonus and Jared very helpful and friendly. All local towns in easy reach, we loved it!!! X
We had a wonderful stay at The Stables. The property is comfortable and well furnished. It proved a great base for exploring the beautiful countryside of Herefordshire and Shropshire with our dogs. The owners Jared and Steph left us pretty much to our own devices, but did stop for a quick chat. We were blessed with some fantastic weather and left feeling refreshed and revitalised. If pressed on what could have been better, I would say maybe a larger coffee pot and some cooking tongs would be a nice addition to the already comprehensive inventory. Thank you for a holiday that we will remember with pleasure.
Philip
Superb accommodation, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Already booked the next one.
