It was our absolute pleasure to host these guests recently and we received these lovely comments. Hilltop Farm Shop/Cafe are also getting a few mentions in our visitor book lately which is great as we always recommend local places of interest which we think our guests will enjoy and guests to the cottage also do the same ♥️🐴♥️.

Here are a few pictures of Alfie & Meg enjoyeding a bit of pottering in the garden and snuggles on the sofa. What a cute duo they are!

Kia the delightful Blue Whippet. I love the little container of cherry tomatoes in the background. One of her favourite treats

This gorgeous pair are Khao (Border Collie) & Nylah (Tibetan Terrier) and they have just checked in for a week, the lucky things! It definitely suits them and they are looking very relaxed and at home wouldn’t you agree?

Our current guests have sent us these photos of their gorgeous Pointers enjoying the cottage. We are pleased to hear that Scout the German Wirehaired Pointer and Fen the Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer are enjoying making full use of the toy basket

Well worth a visit! The Feast and the Furious. Open today 8am - 1pm. Those Portuguese custard tarts sure do look delicious.

There is still time to make it over to The Wheel Inn for the last day of their beer festival 👍🏻🍺🥰👌🏻

*********** ONLY £3 A PINT **********

It’s the final day of our Branston Beer Fest 24 and we have some great ales and ciders still on offer. All served in our beer garden from 12-8 today. Once they’re gone they’re gone.

This weekend!

There is always such a great buzz in the centre on 1940’s day!

Join us for the 1940’s event in Melton this weekend!

2024 marks the 80th year of D-Day landings...
It’s a weekend of 40s themed entertainment, vintage stalls, re-enactments from the era, vintage cars, living history displays, 1940’s live music and plenty of delicious food and drink.

Our Shoppe will be open Saturday and Sunday with our Pie Cart in the town! Come along for the occasion and pay tribute to the heroes of World War II.

There are lots of delicious treats to choose from at Ferneley's 🍦😋🍦

Ferneley’s serve delicious shakes and ice creams, waffles and pancakes. They do breakfasts, afternoon teas, paninis, burgers, chips, Sunday roasts and more. Dogs are welcome and there is a dedicated bicycle park for cyclists to park bicycles which can be viewed from the outdoor seating area.

There are many footpaths in the surrounding areas that pass in close proximity to Ferneley’s Café making it the ideal starting and finishing point for a lovely circular walk in the Leicestershire countryside.

On the specials board… rolo waffle🍦

A warm Belgian waffle with chocolate & salted caramel ice cream, topped with cream, toffee & chocolate sauce and mini rolos🍦 served until 5pm!

From the 1st of October 2023 new guidance for fire safety came into place for smaller holiday lets in England & Wales.

We are shocked to hear how many people are still staying in accommodation which does not meet even very basic requirements.

Here at The Stables we have had an independant Fire Risk Assessment carried out by Pace Fire and the following safety measures are in place at the cottage:

🧯Interlinked smoke alarms
🧯Thumb turn locks on all external doors
🧯Emergency lighting
🧯Fire extinguisher
🧯Fire blanket
🧯Testing carried out and logged before
each guest

No one likes to think about these things but rest assured that we are for your safety.

I love this and I think we know whose boss around here ❤️🐈❤️

Spotted recently in Waltham on the Wolds. Lovely village scenes 🐾 🛻 🐾
Look closely! 👀

04/05/2024

Lots going on in the local area this Bank Holiday weekend inviting a vintage craft market, a classic car meet and a Comic Con & toy fair. There really is something for everyone!

03/05/2024

Feast and the Furious Open today until 12.

It just had to be done!
Carrot dog toys for our canine guests to play with at The Stables 🥕🐴🥕 We now have a little toy basket at the cottage for our furry friends to enjoy.

The Crown Inn at Sproxton has made an appearance in our Visitor Book before for their delicious fish and chips but this time it’s the turn of The Royal Horseshoes just down the road in Waltham on the Wolds and The Wheel Inn at Branston who both deserve and received a mention 👏🏻 . We always recommend and support local businesses and our guests seem to enjoy hearing our suggestions and trying them out. We are so lucky to be in such a beautiful location which has so much to offer and is surrounded by other absolutely gorgeous villages.

Here are a few pictures taken in Waltham on the Wolds this morning. Waltham on the Wolds is a pretty village just 3 miles away from the cottage and has a lovely pub, deli, beautiful Church and post office.

Our next lucky guests aren’t due to check in until next Saturday so we dangled a deliciously tempting carrot to our current guests to see if they would like to add any extra nights to their weeks stay.

They love it so much that they have opted to stay for an extra five nights (as well as booking to return for another week in Summer!)

What a truly fabulous testimonial to our gorgeous little cottage!

Wow, our guests who checked in yesterday for a week enjoyed their first day so much that today that they have immediately booked again to return this summer!

We are absolutely blown away by these words and it is what we strive for.

Kia the Whippet certainly looks very comfortable and cosy.

Pam, we can’t wait to have you all back again (even though you haven’t left yet and still have almost a week remaining of this holiday 😜!)

Despite the fact that we seem to be experiencing every season in just one day today the lovely village of Sproxton is as beautiful as ever and I managed to get these shots.

I thought that our local log supplier’s van looked nice in the sun with the pub behind it, very village-y and pleasant.

This handsome fellow is Carlo and he has just enjoyed a break at The Stables. His human Li left a glowing review commenting on the quality and cleanliness at the cottage as well as the thoughtful touches and wonderful atmosphere. Long soaks in the bath tub were the order of the day listening to the birdsong. Delightful!

The Croxton Village Shop also deserved a special mention

09/04/2024

The superb reviews just keep on coming. Here is a picture of the gorgeous Ralphy along with his owner's fabulous comments from their recent stay. The lovely locals also got a well deserved mention, we are very lucky indeed to have such nice neighbours and be located in such a gorgeous, picturesque village. When are you going to book your stay?

07/04/2024

These gorgoeus dogs have all been lucky enough to stay at The Stables. If anyone does have any photos of their holidays with us then we always love to see them
