Simply amazing!
Beautiful property, lovely and clean, everything you need and just so cosy. The wood burner was a great feature and made a rainy Saturday evening perfect. The Stable is lovely and peaceful. Jean was there if we needed anything. We will definitely be returning to the Stable and already looking for our next dates!

Stay June 2023
I would recommend the stables to anyone that wants tranquillity, peace and quiet away from the noise of ‘life’. Just sitting listening and watching the birds and the nature is truly fab & we found ourselves instantly relax as soon as we arrived. The hosts were wonderful and gave a lot of local information on places to eat etc & the cake on arrival was gorgeous. The stables are exceptionally well kept and spotlessly clean. We just wish we could have stayed longer. We were blessed with lovely weather & did a lot of walking whilst we were there. We left some of the walks in the stables in case future guests wanted to make use of them. We would highly recommend the restaurant at the hotel called Pen-y-Duffryn which is only a 15 minutes walk away from the stables. We will most definitely be back! xx

Feel thoroughly chilled out now that we are back from our weekend away. The Stable is stunning and really cosy with the log burner. Beautiful views, loads of wildlife on the doorstep and really friendly hosts who even left us a lovely piece of cake each for our coffee on arrival. Stable is fully equipped and well worth a visit. Thank you Nick and Jean for a great stay

Our perfect escape
Wow! We had the best weekend for our first wedding anniversary. The moment we drove through the trees to approach this beautiful place we were calm. Our stay was so wonderful, the stable is the most perfect place to escape and unwind. We both needed a break and we just wish we were there for longer. Jean was very helpful in recommending places to go around the area. Thanks again I’m sure we’ll be back next year if not before 🤣🥰

Idyllic Getaway
The Stable is located in the rolling countryside of the Welsh borders with magnificent views. The property is perfect for 2, is exceptionally clean and well equipped. The owners Jean & Nick live next door but respect your privacy totally but are on hand for friendly advice, etc. This is our second visit and won't be the last. A unique feature is the ability to birdwatch from the comfort of the sofa in the lounge or indeed the bed. We saw over 20 species of birds in our short, 3 night stay but are sure there are many more. If you like P & Q, this is the property for you.

Stunning, Beautiful, Peaceful … PERFECT
There are not enough compliments to explain how perfect this place is… From the drive in through the woods and first seeing the Stable, getting out of the car to the sound of nothing but the birds to going inside and seeing the immaculately clean property finished to such a high standard. There were fresh flowers , beautiful cake and fresh milk in the fridge to welcome us. Mrs Blake came down to greet us with their Lovely friendly dog. The hosts are close enough if you need anything but are completely private and not at all intrusive. The weather was gorgeous for us and we were lucky enough to be able to sit outside and watch the birds. The sky was so clear when it got dark and that gave us another thing to amaze us as we watched the stars and listened to the night wildlife. You need a car but the property is within distance to plenty of places to visit if you can tear yourself away from the property and it’s surroundings . There are very few places that we find we enjoy so much we would return but we can’t wait to book again and come back to The Stable, this is our number 1. Thank you for a lovely stay x

Beautiful winter getaway
We adored staying at Jean and Nick’s stable. Everything was considered in order to make our time as comfortable as possible, and it was lovely to meet them at the beginning of our stay. The stable is nestled in the hills next to the woodland, and along with the dusting of snow made for some incredible views. The underfloor heating and log burner kept us warm and cosy whilst we watched the birds outside. We would return in a heartbeat! Thank you.

Lovely property, lovely owners
We stayed at the stable in a chilly December, but the accomodation stayed warm and was a real delight to be in. We loved waking up in the morning and seeing the wide variety of birds on the bird feeders, including a massive jay, and a lovely greater spotted woodpecker! The accomodation is homely and quirky and loads of different walks nearby. We will definitely be returning and I advise anyone stating in this area to stay at the stable. You will not be disappointed!

Simply beautiful
Perfect little home in a stunning barn conversion. The Stable has everything you could possibly want or need, there is nothing that hasn’t been thought of by the owners. All the little touches that make it a really lovely place to stay. The surroundings are so tranquil and you won’t get bored of looking out the windows and listening to the beautiful peace and the birds chirping. Even though we stayed in mid October and the weather wasn’t amazing, it did not make the area and our stay any less enjoyable. The hosts are lovely and we were greeted upon arrival with the most incredibly homemade cake. The log burner was great and we will miss lighting it at night. Looking forward to coming back in the new year for another break from the busy life.

Such a lovely place to stay, equipped with everything you could need. We have such busy lives so it’s was nice to just relax without any stress. The stable is very intimate with the bedroom on a mezzanine floor above the living room and kitchen just down a couple of stairs. We lit the fire and just chilled out for the weekend
