The Old Stables is an absolutely beautiful bed & breakfast. You can tell Simon and Aly have put all their heart into this place. Every detail and corner of the barn has been purposely thought through. The atmosphere is so relaxing and heartwarming! I would have loved to stay longer. The breakfast was the best English breakfast I have ever had! I also loved how welcoming they are of dogs. My little mini schnauzer was so happy exploring the place :) We stayed the weekend before Christmas and that only added to the charm of the place.

We have never felt so welcomed in a B&B before - thank you Alyson and Simon (and of course Jasper) for making our stay so wonderful. We especially appreciated the small recommendations they gave us when they asked about our plans for the day. The breakfast is amazing. You order the night before and can choose from Englisch breakfast, pancakes, waffles ... everything freshly prepared. The old stable has been nicely renovated and the rooms are all decorated with great care. We can rommend this B&B wholeheartedly!

Nothing, everything was perfect!

The breakfast was exceptional and there was a warm welcome from Aly and Simon. They provided ordinary milk and a fridge, which we much preferred to those little sachets. They didn't clean the room every day during our stay (since COVID times) but were happy to replace anything as requested. The shortbread biscuits left in the room were lovely and the room itself was beautiful.

I didn't realise until the third day of our stay that I could have requested clean mugs and towels, but that was my fault for not reading the welcome pack!

We enjoyed everything about the place. The little added extras in the room, THE BREAKFASTS were amazing and the hosts Ally and Simon were fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble and they also took an interest in what was on your agenda for the day. Well worth the money and would definitely stay again if in the area.

There was nothing that you couldn't like about this property. If I was pushed, it is a little remote so if you're one who likes more hustle and bustle it won't be for you.

I booked a two night stay for my girlfriends birthday to longleat which was only a 20 minute drive, I looked around at reviews of other local places to stay and this one came on top.. the pictures looked nice and the price was reasonable. Staying here is the best place we’ve ever stayed!, the building was absolutely gorgeous, the hosts Simon, Alyson & Jasper of course made us feel so welcomed nothing was too much trouble and we felt as if we were truly valued. The room was perfect in every way possible there wasn’t anything we would have changed, Breakfast was also Devine!! We will certainly be booking another trip next winter without doubt, Thankyou again 5 stars all the way!

An immaculate barn conversion, full of warmth and character. Alyson and Simon were very welcoming along with their friendly retriever Jasper. Great attention to detail and such thoughtful hospitality. The breakfast was a 3-course feast, cooked English exceptional and highly recommended.

Perfect place for a couples time away. We were really well looked after by the wonderful hosts. Beautiful spaces, most delicious breakfasts, and warm, cosy evenings by the fireplace. What more could you ask for?! We would love to go back for more quiet time and nourishment. Thank you, Alyson and Simon. You are brilliant hosts. And if anyone is worried about being around Jasper the dog… as someone who is a bit afraid of dogs, I felt absolutely safe around Jasper, who is such a well behaved dog.

We loved it.

The space was incredibly welcoming, and the renovated stable was simply astonishing. Breakfast was delightful, with a wide array of delicious options to choose from. Simon and Aly, the owners, were exceptionally kind, ensuring that every detail was perfectly attended to during our stay. Jasper, their dog, was the cherry on top of our experience, always greeting us warmly. We felt completely at home

This is an exceptional place to stay. The room was large, lovely and warm and the bed was very comfortable. Within the room there was a variety of tea, coffee etc,fresh biscuits for both us and the dog, plus fresh milk was provided. The fridge in the room was really appreciated. Really nice toiletries in the bathroom with super soft towels. We arrived with a dog and he was made as welcome as we were and there was also a basket full of dog goodies in the room. We had snow while we were there, but had the weather been better there were beautiful walks around the property and also dog friendly pubs/restaurants close by. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts and the breakfast was amazing.My husband went into Shepton Mallett hospital for an operation and on the day he was allowed out they kindly let me stay longer in the room.

Nothing.

Couldn't get a better breakfast! The attention to detail was impeccable. Simon and Ali show how much they care with everything they do. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we wanted even gave me a tray to take to the room for my wife who was feeling a little poorly.

A night light would have been handy. And two chairs instead of just one with somewhere to put the iPad to do some work in the room. And the plumbing could be improved a little.
