Excellent

Review Submitted: June 13, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
My wife and I stayed in early June, 2011 and had a thoroughly wonderful time. This is a truly beautiful part of England, rolling gentle hills,lovely walks, the River Thames and pretty towns and villages. The Old Stables is in a pleasant and handy setting for visiting this part of Oxfordshire. The Old Stables are a comfortable and homely base, a rural heaven, a nearby pub and other village amenities provide enough local facilities. We had a great time and thanks to Jenny for making that possible. Thanks.

What a comfortable stable!

Review Submitted: April 16, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
I had a fantastic week here with my dogs. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The cottage is perfect for a quiet unspoilt holiday, beautifully clean and done out, with a unique stable bedroom. The little courtyard garden is ideal and the dogs loved it. A good place to watch the resident hens, geese and ducks from. I would love to go back sometime.

We had a wonderful time! Thank you Jenny & Robert. BBQ was great fun. Thanks for bearing our children playing football (they never chased the ducks!)
Guests - go to the pub; care for Eric the donkey; if horse riding, ask for Mara at Equestrian centre.
Thanks a lot & call when you are in Germany!
