Reviews of The Stable
Lovely cottage stay – Karen from Australia (10/10)
Very comfortable and cosy cottage with everything needed for a great stay. Generous welcome package and a lot of useful information about the area. Peaceful and quiet location but with easy access to Winchester and surrounds.
Nice bolt hole to explore the area. – Andy from United Kingdom (9/10)
Plenty of fresh bathroom and bed linen, including extra pillows. Good selection of provisions in the cupboard, e.g. full fruit bowl, condiments, shower gel/shampoo. Nice comfy sofa and bed. Decent TV with Roku. Nice quiet location. We left an item of clothing behind the owner contacted us and forwarded it to our home address free of charge.

Just perfect for us, cosy, warm, welcoming and comfortable. Loved the little touches, cakes and basic provisions including fruit. Lovely people.
Completely felt at home and would definitely recommend scheduling a visit. – Atkinson-ganoe from United States (9/10)
Enjoyed our very lovely stay at The Stable. I was impressed to find that they have been hosting since 2001 and their professionalism and quality were superb. The host was available for any questions. Extremely organized messages to help utilize home appliances. My husband and I are retired firefighters and we were both impressed with the attention to fire safety with smoke detectors and fire extinguishers along with a message to close the kitchen door during sleep that would help minimize the spread of a potential fire. Plenty of extra linens, a comfy bed, and perfect pillows. I completely felt like I went back in time and was visiting Grandma again with homemade bread and sweet cake for midnight snacking or morning breakfast. I love, love, loved my stay, and would return in a heartbeat. Figured out bus routes and train departures and we got around like pros. Location was perfect for visiting Salisbury, Winchester, Southampton, and the airport. Thank you for such a wonderful visit.
