We enjoyed our stay very much. The Stables was beautifully clean and had everything we could want. We particularly enjoyed sitting in front of the wood burner during the evenings. We would certainly recommend this to anyone.

Comfort break

Excellent location, lovely setting with a country house aura. Accommodation itself superb, generous facilities provided, reasonable rates. A great place for a long weekend away with friends or relatives.

A wonderful holiday

I have stayed the Stables many times and I keep coming back! It is a beautiful location in a magical setting. The gardens were absolutely beautiful full of variety and colour. To achieve this display with the drought we have experience is exceptional. The gardens must be congratulated.

Wonderful place for a relaxing stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Stables at Cadhay. The place is light and airy, and the setting is beautiful. The kitchen is well-equipped although there isn't a lot of work space, and the bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. Rupert was on hand to greet us on our arrival, and was very helpful and friendly.

This is our ‘go to’ UK idyll.

The Stables offers spacious and comfortable accommodation, in beautiful surroundings, at a very affordable price. Our three-generation family have recently returned from another memorable stay at Cadhay, and are already planning our next trip back. Staying at Cadhay is wonderfully relaxing and Rupert and Jayne are wonderful hosts, making you feel relaxed and welcome.

A piece of rural England
