It was a lot smaller than it appeared in the photos but was a nice and comfortable enough place. The twin room is small with no wardrobes, only a set of drawers, but the 2 main bedrooms are a very good size. It was well equipped. The owners and contacts were very friendly and accommodating.

Despite the on/off weather we had a great break. The setting is idyllic and the owner friendly and responsive. The accommodation was spacious enough for a family with teenage boys and a dog, the lay out is good and the kitchen well equiped.

We had a very good time in STABLES, it had everything you could need to look after yourselves. It was warm and if the fire is lit, it gets very warm indeed. the beds were comfy and there are three toilets etc. Sally popped in to see us when we arrived and said look for me anytime you need anything. Thoroughly enjoyable.

We had a fantastic stay at The Stables. The cottage is really lovely and has everything you need to have a lovely relaxing stay. It's brilliantly situated for all the local beaches and the tour of the farm that Sue gave us was really interesting. Definitely a must if you have time! We would love to stay there again in the future.
