Quirky Retreats - The Old Stable

Loved it can’t complain

heating issue when we arrived but soon resolved

Location was brilliant with it being near shops and only a short drive to Windermere lake! The facilities in this accommodation were perfect, I can't fault anything as everything was hygienic and very well looked after. Great communication from hosts too!

Beautiful barn, comfy beds, nice showers, nice little village close to windermere and bowness

Cleanliness mostly great but some dog poo in the courtyard and outside front door (in a poo bag) sock behind headboard of our bed. Facilities- sofa very low which was a problem for some of our party, nowhere near enough teabags for 5 people for 2 nights, had to buy salt, vinegar, dishcloth too. Just a note, we've stayed many places and there has mostly been enough kindling and logs for 1 fire and some sort of welcome hamper. For the price I would have expected more.

The location and decor was excellent!

Clean, tranquil and great location.

Nothing to dislike. All i would say is leave some washing up liquid and cleaning spray so guests can clean a little better before they leave.

Great location, comfortable house.

Unfortunately, 1 of the showers didn’t work properly (stuck on hot setting) so 2 couples had to share 1 of the bathrooms. The shower in bedroom 2 leaked over the floor every time it was used so we had to mop it, & the main bathroom leaks and caused a water stain. Not enough dinner / side plates for our party of 6. No bin in the kitchen so we had a bin bag constantly out & kitchen sink plug doesn’t fit so impossible to fill sink to wash up. Bedroom 2 wall & ceiling lights flicker.

We loved the location, the snug, the bar, the courtyard, the view over the river, the communication with the owners/managers before and during our holiday … everything!

Loathe to say anything but a couple of suggestions would be a clothes dryer for clothes that you cannot put in a dryer and a higher arm chair for the less mobile guests. The huge corner sofa was super comfy but very low to the ground and difficult to manoeuvre in and out of.

Unbelievable house! Great location!

Perfect location. Beautiful cottage, very clean and well equipped.

The main issue was the WiFi didn’t work for our entire stay. So we couldn’t watch tv, play music or adjust the heating controls. The host did try to rectify the problem and was very apologetic.
