Location was lovely, the rooms were spacious, had a delicious sponge cake waiting for us on arrival.

Vickie United Kingdom

We were staying in a large family group - grandparents, 3 couples and 4 grandchildren. The accommodation worked very well for us - 2 of the stables next door to each other. The ground floor open plan was brilliant for the children and in the evenings us adults could sit round the coffee table comfortably playing cards or at the table for a more serious board game. Kitchens are very well-equipped for self-catering. We enjoyed the walk into Salisbury - just long enough to be an interesting adventure, but not too far for the toddlers. There are lanes and field walks from the property too. It was a great success for us.

Pitt United Kingdom

Lovely quiet location, easy access to the property from the parking.

Gary United Kingdom

The location was stunning,facilities and cleanliness outstanding,couldnt fault it great value for miney

Danial United Kingdom

Quiet and ideal for our disabled friend who was able to move around freely with her walker. loved the patio area where we spent a lot of our time

Sian United Kingdom

It was great to have 2 bathrooms. The kitchen was really well equipped with a lovely big lounge where we could all gather. lovely to be on the farm. We took our baby grandson to see the chickens every day -he found them very fastinating! It was a really easy walk or run into the cathedral in Salisbury.

Heather United Kingdom

Wordsworth Cottage at The Old Stables was superb: extremely comfortable and lovely accommodation: the sort of place you could have happily stayed on for much longer. In addition there was a scrumptious home-made cake and a vase of freshly-cut flowers: perfect touches to a perfect stay. Thank you.

Penny United Kingdom

Lovely place to stay, close to Salisbury, clean and comfortable house and very peaceful . Easy check in and check out . We really enjoyed at our holiday. Thank you for the amazing cake.

Doreta United Kingdom

Lisa United Kingdom

Warm and cosy. Very clean, felt relaxed straight away. Perfect for visiting Salisbury. It was my birthday weekend and ideal for fishing the River Avon at Britford, can’t wait to return.
