Booked in conjunction with Burfields Barn for a large family holiday, so a lot of time spent in the larger house, especially at evening meals. However, this smaller house was very cosy & comfortable.

This was our third visit to the Old Stables with our dog, and as always, we had a wonderful time.The location and garden are beautiful; the hot tub is a luxury; and the cottage itself is very nicely kept. A perfect reset week for us: we will be back!
