Superbly converted stables in beautiful countryside

The property is located in one of the Chiltern Hills most beautiful valleys in a quiet rural setting. Originally built as a wing to spectacular 18th Century barns, the stables have been converted to a very high standard, retaining many of the original features. Well equipped, the property provides comfort & convenience whilst enjoying privacy in its own walled courtyard with vines and colourful plants. The setting is rural and peaceful with our ducks and chickens wandering freely.

The area is a walker’s paradise with the famous Ridgeway nearby for the serious or several delightful walks on the doorstep for the more casual. Also popular with cyclists.

Excellent base for touring the ancient Thames-side towns of Henley, Wallingford, Dorchester & Abingdon all within a few miles. Oxford (c12 miles), Windsor (c24 miles), London (c45 miles), Stratford Upon Avon (c48 miles), Cotswolds (c25miles).

The Old Stables have been very cleverly converted into a unique and spacious self-contained apartment with every facility thought of and made available, including unexpected items that enriched the experience of staying there, some of which we never got around to using.Everywhere was very clean and inviting with lovely bedding and towels and the generous space upstairs held twin beds, chairs and a TV which would be ideal for families with children. Our hosts were really helpful and keen for us to enjoy our visit and we felt very at home from the moment we met them.

Beautiful stay in a rural idyll

The Stables is a fabulous play to stay, nestled in the heart of the Chilterns, with Red Kites circling in the valley. Well equipped and comfortable, it is a great base to walk from and a short drive to Henley/Wallingford with great pubs nearby too.

Superb Cottage and location

The cottage was just perfect for a do nothing weekend. We have an elderly dog who loved the spacious garden and meadow. The cottage was just right and the hearth was a welcome addition to be lit in the evening. Location and local pubs and places to eat were excellent. Thank you so much Jenny, we’ll be back!

Walking the Ridgeway

A comfortable quirky cottage in a converted stable. It has everything you could need and the owners are friendly and helpful. The free roaming geese and duck plus their eggs were a bonus. There are ducklings on their way and we were sorry to miss their hatching.
