A comfortable well-equipped cottage, which was spotlessly clean. Sue and Colin were friendly and helpful. We especially appreciated it's thick walls and small windows during the heat wave!

Thank you for a lovely stay. The Stables was really clean, comfortable and a great base for us to see the sights. We loved the location- remote to feel like you're away from it all but just a short drive from everything you need. The view from The Stables was fantastic. We catered for ourselves every day and the accommodation was fully equipped with everything we needed. A great stay, thank you.
