Had a fantastic weeks stay here. Would highly recommend Silk Hill Stables. Liz (host) couldn't have been more friendly, nothing too much trouble. The Stable was lovely, extremely clean and with every mode con you could think of. The extras, bottle of wine and cakes on arrival were much appreciated, Thanks for a wonderful stay.
