The Old Stables Bed & Breakfast

Location :

Nestled in the hamlet of Chelynch, in the beautiful Somerset countryside, a warm and friendly welcome awaits you. The Old Stables is a lovingly restored 17th century, Grade II Listed barn of outstanding character.

We are ideally located on the edge of the Mendip Hills (an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) with easy access to the many delights that Somerset has to offer. Whether you want to revisit history in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath, hike in the magnificent Cheddar Gorge, attend an event at the Bath and West Showground or just enjoy a day walking in the beautiful surrounding countryside, Somerset has something for everyone!

Our 3 en-suite rooms, Wells, Shepton and Doulting, have been thoughtfully decorated and furnished with our guests in mind. Comfy beds with quality linens, locally made pine furniture, antique finds and all those luxurious little extras that you deserve. Home baked cakes or biscuits await you in your room. Fresh milk for your selection of teas and coffee can be found in the silent mini fridge together with bottled water. There’s adequate space in your fridge as well for any of the abundance of locally sourced goodies that you might pick up from one of the local Farmers’ markets that can be found all over the county.

Our bountiful, traditional farmhouse breakfast, using locally sourced produce whenever possible, is served in our very special 17th century beamed dining room. Take your time and enjoy – there’s no rush.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Old Stables very soon.

  We tell all of our guests to have a visit to Wells and to see the stunning Vicars’ Close. We’re so lucky to have the beautiful City of Wells right on our doorstep.

  So lovely! The swans are a big part of the City of Wells - one of our favourite places and just 20 minutes away from us. We spotted the cygnet today 🦢

  We love dogs, especially our Goldie Jasper (that's him in the pic!), and we know that so many of you want to stay somewhere really lovely on your hols and bring your beloved four legged family member too. If this sounds like you then you're in luck! We are dog-friendly at The Old Stables and your pups will be treated like VIP's. We supply a Pup Pack filled with items to cover all eventualities, a jar of doggie treats, a toy to keep lots of information on what to do and see with your dog while visiting Somerset, a scrumptious Cheddar Paws Bakery specially baked for us doggie bone cookie (we haven't tasted them but Jasper gives them two paws up!) and of course, a warm welcome. The Poacher's Pocket pub right at the end of our driveway is dog friendly too :)
