About this cottage rental

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). Close to rail links to London & West country, 10 miles from M4 & M40, Heathrow 28 miles. Horse riding, golf, boat hire available locally.

If you are a fan of the TV series Midsomer Murders, check out the filming locations, to see the many pretty villages that are local to the cottage!

The property is strictly non smoking.

Dogs are welcome. There is a nightly charge of £10 per dog.

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!

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.

Perfect cottage in countryside for a short break with our grandchildren. 20 mins drive from Henley on Thames which is a beautiful town. Lovely villages round about with pubs for good food.

Spotlessly clean and very cosy and warm, a huge log burner and fantastically comfy beds. The welcome was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. We really felt like guests. Highly recommend.

Jenny was v helpful with good communication. The cottage is extremely well organised with everything you would need for a self catering break. The upstairs bedroom was very comfortable and spacious although the stairs were not the easiest to negotiate. The one downside is that the central heating is controlled from the main house and we did feel a little uncomfortable asking for it to be switched on in the evening.

Our whole interaction with the owners of The Old Stables was superb - from booking, to communication, to arrival and the accomodation itself. We were made very welcome and the cottage was beautiful. We would definitely rebook for next year.

Beautiful garden

Beautiful garden

We absolutely love the garden, it’s spectacular. We sat in the garden whenever it’s dry and sunny outside. The property does not have heating control as it’s controlled by the main house which should have mentioned in the listing. The property is chilly and does not get much sun inside. Logs burner is provided unfortunately we couldn’t use it as we have 2 young toddlers running around. Jenny responded to our request instantly and turned on the heating for us. Overall all 4 of us enjoyed ourselves and slept upstairs instead of the downstairs.

Fantastic Location

Fantastic Location

This accommodation is great value for money- its welcoming and cosy and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Our hosts were helpful and friendly, and we loved watching the ducks and hens as they wandered around outside. We sat out for breakfast and coffee in the secluded courtyard garden most days and have never seen and heard so many red kites and other birds of prey as we have in the last 4 days. Lovely walks and days out in Henley and Dorchester on Thames. We had intended to visit Oxford but with so many lovely smaller villages to explore we never quite got there. I would definitely recommend a stay here. This area of the country is beautiful and the location of the property is fantastic.

Relaxing visit to a characterful property

Relaxing visit to a characterful property

This cottage is part of a converted stable block attached to the owners home. It is in a quiet, rural area so a car is necessary. A small courtyard garden was perfect for the dog who was fascinated by the ducks and chickens running around the garden. The owners were delightful and we couldn’t have ordered better weather. A very enjoyable visit. Thank you.

Very clean and great location

Very clean and great location

We stayed here for a week at the end of August and were lucky with the weather. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed to chill out. We enjoyed great walks right from here without having to drive anywhere. Plenty of pubs and cafés found along the way. Places worth visiting are Henley, Hurley and Goring. Walks along the Thames and beautiful countryside. When getting back after a day out exploring it was nice to sit in the courtyard listening and watching the red kites. The hosts were great in recommending different places to see and which cafés to visit. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to find a quite place to relax. Also our dog Nala got on really well with Toby 😃

This is an excellent place to hide yourself away from the world and have some quality time to either relax or be adventurous. However if you feel like you are missing city life, you can easily re-connect in half an hour travel. We really enjoyed our stay here and could never finish exploring the area. The hosts were fantastic, nothing is too big or small for them to attend to. Please keep up the good work in maintaining the cottage in such prestine condition and we all loved how clean and tidy the place was. Highly recommended and YES we will definitely be coming back again for an even longer stay.

Our new rescue dog Bramble enjoyed her first trip away and loved meeting the host's dog. The cottage is in a fantastic location, with so much to see and do within a few miles. We will definitely be back. Thank you Jenny!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful cottage. Perfect surroundings for lovely walks with the dog and she was more than happy in cottage on her first trip away. Hosts were brilliant and very helpful. Local areas are lovely too. Teenage daughters loved their attic room with plenty of space and our stable room was gorgeous. All in all a great time had by all and would recommend to all. Hoping to go again
