    I cannot fault any of it

    We had a great stay. Thank you.

  • Richard

    The farmhouse was superb. A huge space which has been traditionally furnished, and with high quality fixtures, such as the beds, bedding and carpets too. The games room, with snooker table, pacman and other board games was a great addition, especially in the colder, wet weather. We did have some issues with heating and hot water but Lindsay and Richard did their utmost to resolve the problem. As friendly and helpful hosts as you could wish to meet, and Gus the border collie was absolutely adorable(even went on a long walk with us!). Would highly recommend The Stables, not least because of exceptional hosts and Gus the dog!
