This holiday was the most restful we have had in a while. The bed is very comfortable and the luxury of the log burner was appreciated in the cold weather. Very peaceful location and even with the owners being next door was very private. There is plenty of local walks to take our doggies.

The Stables is a lovely place to stay and feels very cosy and we were completely relaxed. There is everything you need if you want to self cater, or if not, there are several pubs within a short driving distance. The hot tub is great, we only used it once as our visit was in the middle of December so would like to go back and give it a try in warmeRead morer weather and make more use of the outside space.
