I received a warm welcome and the room was clean and spacious. There was fresh milk and fresh fruit available in the mini-fridge, which was thoughtful; also, delicious home made chocolate cake! This suited me perfectly for a one-night stopover on my travels.

Wonderful Little Stay

This is a lovely little getaway place for solo travelers or couples. very cozy with the fire and basic coffee/tea facilities. The hosts were amazing and very friendly with great knowledge of the area to help find things to do and places to eat.

Amazing stay

We stayed for a wedding- even though the check in fell at a difficult time for the wedding (at the Old Cow Shed) Fran went out of her way to help us get the key, and then gave us a lift to the venue. Room was warm and comfortable with tea, coffee and fresh fruit. Fran also facilitated a late checkout. Couldn’t ask for anything more, and significantly better than the alternative of the travelodge!

Lovely find! Great stay.

What a lovely find! Stayed here for one night when visiting the Stag & Hounds, but could happily have stayed longer. Lovely location, great facilities and lovely touches with home made cakes on arrival and a fridge with proper milk and bottled water. Fran was very welcoming and helpful, and lots of information in the room about the local area and places to go/eat etc.

Suitably Stabled

The host was very friendly and made check in really easy, even starting the fire in the stove for us. The room was very nicely done up, cozy and comfy, with plenty of warmth from the fire. The kitchen area was compact but well supplied and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay there again should we be in the area.

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.

A hidden gem

Friendly welcome, warm comfortable accommodation, and perfectly situated, in High Leicestershire, for our needs. We stayed 2 nights and ate in the Stag & Hounds both nights, a mere 50m away, where the locals and staff were very friendly and the food delicious. We had a small issue with the hot water which our host solved quickly and efficiently. This is a characterful conversion of some old outbuildings, hence the `eco' rating, with plenty of space and good parking.

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.

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.
