Communication from Nat and Dan on the run up to our visit was great including lots of info regarding dog friendly places to eat. The Stables was warm and cosy and equipped to an incredibly high standard. There were lots of treats for us and our pooch which was so kind and some of them are truly inspired-you'll know what I mean when you go to stay. It takes a lot of work to have a holiday home on this scale yet appear effortless. We had a great meal at the Berkeley Arms and some lovely walks including the grounds of Belvoir Castle. Would we recommend The Stables - already have done and will continue to do so.
