Reviews

A very nice and comfortable cottage.

Mr S,

We had a lovely stay at the stables and the view was stunning indeed. Feels like you are in Pride and Prejudice. The Owner was a dear hostess and surprised us with fresh fruit from the garden. The house was one of the best we have ever rented.

Mrs K,

The Stables is a lovely place in a stunning location and I believe your listing is accurate and fair.

Mr Gary S,

The Stables is definitely a must come again place. So comfortable and well equipped. The view from the patio is amazing. Rosemary so friendly and helpful. We have been able to visit many places of interest without having to travel far. Thank you Rosemary for the flowers and scrumptious cookies.
