We stayed 2 nights surrounding a friend’s wedding at The Cow Shed. We had a couple of questions before our stay and Fran was very prompt in responding to these messages. It was easy enough to find with parking right outside. The place was lovely. I personally don’t think the photos do it justice. It was a good sized space and we didn’t expect to have a kitchen and we had our own little outside space with chairs. Fran had filled our fridge with juice, drink and milk as well as fruit and cake. There was cereal available in the cupboard which would have been useful to know before, because we had brought breakfast with us. But it was really good to have the option there. Fran was on hand throughout our stay if we needed her and she had useful information and recommendations about the best places to get breakfast and local taxis. We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Stables and would definitely recommend!

We took both properties for 2 couples which worked very well with the kitchen in the middle. We appreciated the extra touches; cake and strawberries and various breakfast items we had not expected. Lovely garden to sit out in for a cuppa. The host was charming and helpful. We would recommend the Old Stables.

I have no problem with the property. I have a major problem with Expedia. This property is in Burrough on the Hill. It is not in Somerby and DEFINITELY not in Melton Mowbray. The accommodation was good our host very friendly and helpful. We understood from the listing that a hot breakfast was included and that is not the case. However fresh fruit and a selection of cereals were supplied. I think Expedia needs to update it's listings.

Lovely place to stay

Very much enjoyed our stay at The Old Stables. Fran is an excellent host. Lots of little extras in the room. It was lovely sitting in the garden overlooking beautiful countryside and the sheep in the paddock.

Lovely, welcoming base for exploration

Fran is a wonderful host and crammed so many helpful little touches into the Old Stables, from a full set of guides and pamphlets to local activities to a comprehensive welcome package of essentials such as milk, water and cereals. It's nice to find a place to stay that even has sauces and salt and pepper - much overlooked by other property owners. We had a wonderful time, chilling out on the patio watching the sheep grazing and spotting wildlife. The property is perfectly positioned to access the Stag & Hounds pub (about a one minute walk) with its amazing food and warm welcome. A great base for all of the attractions in this beautiful area, including Melton Mowbray and Rutland Water.
