The Stables

Brilliant place to stay!

It was immaculately clean, really well equipped with everything needed & high spec fixtures & fittings which is always a bonus! Friendly owners & a great base to explore the area whether you wanted to stay really local & walk down to the pebble bay & old power station or if you want to drive out to a variety of place such as St. Fagans National Museum of History or Dyffryn Gardens National Trust and more! Also have to mention the local pub: The Three Horseshoes; brilliant quality traditional pub food meals that are massive! Be warned, you will not need a starter!

I would just like to say that we stayed in this property a couple years ago with my grandkids and my daughter it was excellent then since then they’ve upgraded the front room furnish which is very nice.

Indeed there are games galore for adults and kids to play very clean, the shower room is fantastic. I can’t rate it enough definitely five star for me all day long thank you very much. Enjoyed my stay Michael Sharp.

The Stables is a superb cottage and we were delighted to be back for a second visit.

Also lovely to see and chat with Jon and Terri who are very friendly and attentive hosts. It's in a quiet location but close to many coastal towns, castles and gardens also many places to eat to choose from .Local trains and buses are close by for traveling into Cardiff.Kind regards. Donald and Jill Anslow.

We have just spent a lovely relaxing break in The Stables.

The owners were lovely and made us feel so welcome. They made sure everything was just right for our stay. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well maintained. There are some lovely places to visit close by and the local Chinese takaway food was awesome. Thank you so much we hope to return in the future.

Top class accommodation in a very peaceful location.

Owners on hand for any help/advice needed.

The Stables is a superb holiday cottage with everything needed for a lovely holiday.

Spotlessly clean, very spacious and all very comfortable. Holiday cottages can often be quite sterile or spartan, but it is very obvious that a lot of care and attention has been put into the cottage to make it look beautiful, as well as being functional. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent accommodation apart from th small room was only adequate for a child and not a teenager.

Rudimentary furnishings too! Excellent place

Truly lovely accomodation.

Clean and very comfortable. The location was lovely and quiet and central to get around. The facilities were fabulous. To top it all the hosts were a super nice couple! Very friendly and helpful who also gave us recommendations of places to visit. I would definitely recommend The Stables as perfect holiday accommodation.

Total luxury and comfort, we loved it.

Thick carpets and comfy chairs abound, loads of space and 2 shower heads in the wet room. SO very opulent. John and Terry also friendly and welcoming.

The whole experience was 100% perfect.

Thank you.

Lovely friendly hosts, Terry & Jon, who have added personal touches to The Stables.

A beautiful, spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable property. Ideal for couples or small families. Convenient to village shops and pubs. Within easy reach of beaches, towns and countryside of South Wales.Thank you for a memorable stay. We hope to visit again soon. Anne & John

Lovely stay, property extremely comfortable and well-appointed.

Owners are very friendly and helpful, which added to the enjoyment of the stay.

A spacious and comfortable cottage with friendly and helpful owners nearby.

Very quiet and peaceful rural location, but with easy access to South Wales' many attractions.

The Stables is a beautifully presented and immaculate cottage throughout.

Worthy of five stars thanks to Jon&Terri who are extremely friendly helpful hosts. There are many attractions, beaches & restaurants within easy reach. This is the best Sykes cottage we have stayed in to date.

Our second stay at The Stables in two years.

A delightful, spacious and comfortable 'upside down' cottage. Perfectly situated to explore the much underrated Vale of Gower. Owners Terry and John always live next door and are always there to offer help and advice. Highly rated!

We had an absolutely amazing time here.

The location was perfect, you felt like you were on your own but close to everything you needed. The cottage itself was brilliant. Plenty of room and incredibly comfortable. The owners are absolutely lovely and really make your stay special. But you cant mention the owners with out thanking their head of guest relations, when not chasing her tail she is a top greeter and will help with anything you need if it includes lots of fuss! Overall would highly recommend The Stables! What more could you ask for.

Our second visit to The Stables and once again we were very impressed with the accommodation.

Spent Christmas here and it was perfect - the cottage is spacious and comfortable, very clean, private and well designed. A lot of thought has gone into making it homely; with a well equipped kitchen it has everything you need for family cooking and a large lounge for relaxing in. It's in a convenient location too - on the coast and close to countryside, with easy access to the train station to travel to Cardiff and further afield. Thank you again for a delightful stay!

What a wonderful property this is.

Had a lovely weeks holiday here with our young children. Plenty to do in the surrounding areas. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the property was kept to a very high standard. Would thoroughly recommend.

Such a lovely property, very clean and well equipped and the owners are really friendly and helpful.

Would thoroughly recommend the Stables.

The holiday accommodation is immaculately designed to a very high standard throughout.

It has a well as structured garden with off street parking. It's set in a historic setting not far from magnificent beaches and places of interest. It is in an animal friendly environment which is a great plus for animal lovers!

Really enjoyed our stay here!

Owners are very friendly and approachable and maintain the accommodation to a high standard. The cottage is very clean, spacious, private and comfortable, with a great kitchen for cooking and a large sitting room for relaxing in with a pretty outdoor eating area. Liked the quiet location and rural views, and being close to lovely beaches such as Southerndown beach where we had a great time body boarding. Cottage is also close to historic town of Llantwit Major, which is worth a visit to see the old town and the Norman church of St Illtyd's; and is convenient for the train into Cardiff where we enjoyed browsing at Cardiff Market, the Museum and the independent shops and cafes in the arcades. The area has a great selection of very good pubs, restaurants and café; had very nice Sunday roast at The Red Fox in Penllyn, and lunch at The Bear hotel in the market town of Cowbridge which is also worth a visit to see the Physics Garden near the old Grammar school. Would definitely stay at this accommodation again as I visit this part of Wales regularly, and this cottage is one of the nicest I have stayed in for many reasons.

We had a lovely time!

The cottage is beautiful very clean very big! The owner is also very friendly! We would love to come back next year thank you

Fantastic stay at the Stables once again.

Great accommodation and central to where we wanted to be. Fun and relaxing week . Amazing weather. Sad to say goodbye to the owners who were and are brilliant. 11/10

What a beautiful cottage!

Extremely clean, comfortable & equipped to a very high standard. The location was perfect & the local pub the three horseshoes was a very short walk away & served excellent food. Terri & Jon the property owners couldn't make us anymore welcome. Thank you so much for your very generous hospitality. It was my first visit to South Wales & it certainly won't be my last. 5 star!!!

We had a lovely time at the stables, plenty of room to relax and unwind.

My one criticism would be the double bed is a standard where a king size would have been better. The area is beautiful and close to some stunning beaches, definitely wouldn’t hesitate recommending the stables for a chilled relaxing break.

A delightful property that exceeded our expectations.

Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Super bathroom, large kitchen and living area. Ideally situated for visiting Cardiff, the Rhondda Valley, Ogmore By The Sea, Cowbridge (where we found The Bear Hotel restaurant which was very good) and the surrounding region with some very interesting historic areas along the nearby coast. John and Terri were very welcoming and helpful. Plenty of local shops and two public houses serving food - and a Chinese take-away. The property also has private car parking and a seating area for a quiet morning coffee or an evening drink. Delighted to have stayed there.

The Stables far and away exceeded our expectations.

A surprisingly spacious and comfortable cottage in a delightful location. Plenty to see and do in the locality. Reassuring to have the owners living next door.

From the moment we arrived to the minute we left we felt at home and relaxed.

We were met by Terri and Jon who put us immediately at ease. The property is just immaculate and so big. Everything you want is there and it’s so spacious and comfortable. The views of Terri and Jon’s garden, the birds singing and what turned out to be dry weather made the whole stay wonderful. The village has everything you need, a local pub serving very good food within a 5 min walk, with both a local store opposite and a Co-op a bit further out. The Chinese takeaway next to the pub was very good (cash only). Lovely walks. Just great. Thank you.

Once again the stables fails to disappoint Great place to relax an watch the days go by This time we had great weather.

The cottage was lovely very comfortable with everything you could want and everyone was very friendly

What can I say !

Perfect

We had a wonderful time , the cottage was lovely so big inside like home from home I loved the upside down living the views where beautiful.

We went to the pub down the lane the people were so friendly an made us very welcome, I would definitely recommend the cottage if you want a nice relaxing time . The owners lived next door but didn't bother you lovely people. X

Largest collection of jigsaw puzzles I've ever seen.

10/10. All-round top quality experience.

Had a fantastic stay at The Stables and would like to say a big thank you to the owners for providing such a wonderful setting filled with more facilities than we could make use of!

We were surprised how big the cottage was and loved the homely touches. We would definitely like to go again.
