    The Stables is perfectly situated to explore both Dorset and Hampshire with easy access to the coast, town’s & cities and several National Trust properties. The cottage is well equipped to eat in but also close to many places to eat out.The owners made us feel welcome and the unexpected addition of air conditioning was more than appreciated in the recent heatwave.
