    Beautiful layout with everything you need. Very cosy, it felt like home. Thank you for the welcome pack too! Beautiful area with lots to do and see. Saturday market was quite a size and many interesting stalls to browse. We loved the shops in town, beaches and fish & chips. Farm shop was very good too. We would return for sure! I would've loved some history of the house in the guest info folder. Many thanks from all of us.

    Super welcome pack- very much appreciated by all. The attention to detail in the cottage was lovely, a real home from home with all the bedrooms super comfortable. The main bedroom was if anything a little too warm even with the radiators turned down! We just opened the windows for a little while before sleeping. Kitchen was very well equipped and the Aga though traditional looking is electric so fully controllable. We had a really lovely few days stay in ‘Twixtmas’ and highly recommend Stable Cottage.

  • Emma

    Lovely welcome pack with local goods. Anchor Inn and Horse Shoe pubs both fab food, loved the friendly vibe of the village too and agreed we will be coming back again with family.
