Perfect!

Lovely little cottage, nestled between fields and the canal with a perfect pub at the end of the drive. Very quiet and peaceful. Small courtyard so the dogs could be outside. Walks along the canal and over the fields. Would absolutely stay again. Our host was perfect!! Warmly recommended

Little bolt hole

We stayed for a week in December during a hard time for our family, and the property was just what we were after; rural, quiet and calm, with a lovely pub just yards away. The only issue we ran into was that the dishwasher was too small to clean the plates provided. But the owner was pleasant, the wood burner made things cost, and the bathroom was clean. Napton is a lovely village with a really good local store, and the Folly pub is fantastic. This property would work for a couples’ mini-break as I bet there are some good hiking routes in the area too.

Keep it a Secret

I really love this accommodation. It has all you could need for a short, or long stay. It is very clean and Nigel the host is very affable. Whilst morally l know l should share this location, my dark side is saying not as l want to rebook for another visit and don’t want to run the risk of missing out!

Superb location right on the canal with a pub at the bottom of the road. Bedding and towels smelt wonderful, well equipped kitchen, bathroom a good size and shower was good. Long walk on canal and over fields was lovely, weather was very kind. Hopefully we will return

Another stay in this lovely property.

Visiting family in the area, we have stayed before and love it here with our two little dogs. In the winter months it’s cozy and warm and this time of year you can be outside, it’s very private and has a table, chairs and umbrella to sit and look over the surrounding fields, very peaceful, the birds and the sheep are all you can hear and the daily life of people spending time on the canal which runs alongside where it is situated at Napton Locks. You can walk or drive into the village and stock up on lovely local produce, bread, cakes, pastries, meat, fruit and veg and absolutely anything you would need for that extra special treat, it’s just a wonderful Village Store and The Folly Inn and The Cidery are within walking distance. The owner has made sure there is everything you need for a perfect stay, it is well equipped, clean, plenty of towels, lovely bed, the list is endless, a real home from home and we feel comfortable there, we’ll be back so thank you Nigel for letting us stay.

A brilliant three night stay at The Stables.

A very enjoyable three night stay at the Stables. A lovely conversion with just the right level of accommodation and facilities for us two and our dog. A quality finish throughout and plenty of space in each room for a comfortable relaxed time. The location is idyllic with the quiet surrounding countryside and the canal and locks alongside. Nigel was on hand if you required any help or advise about local history or places to visit, a really nice knowledgeable chap! Our time here left us feeling relaxed and refreshed, we would not hesitate recommending this property to anyone looking for a short stay getaway. Louise and Peter from West Sussex.

Lovely weekend for mum and I

Mum is 92 and we both loved this property, fields full of lambs one side and the canal the other, pub 100m away, good weather, what more can you ask. The accommodation was really comfortable and had everything we needed. Met Nigel when we arrived and spoke to him again when we left. Perfect! Thank you Nigel. Christine and Babs x
