The Stables is a really lovely place to stay. It is warm, comfortable and has been very thoughtfully decorated to a very high standard. It is well equipped and has all the extra little touches that make it feel like a home from home. The garden area is genuinely dog safe, and it really is more than dog friendly with all the extra bits and pieces provided, and the welcome pack was also great. It was so appreciated to have the contact and information from Nat and Dan before we went, and they couldn't have been more helpful. The village is pretty, quiet and peaceful with plenty of nice walks, and lots of excellent places to visit nearby. We really couldn't have felt more welcome, and had such a relaxing week. We would definitely recommend a stay at The Stables, and hope to return. Thank you again Nat and Dan.
