We had an absolutely wonderful stay here at the stables. Any previous reviews improvement points have been taken on and actioned. We had fresh eggs from the farm upon arrival which was lovely! The shower pressure is insane, it’s the best pressure we think we’ve ever had, it’s as if you’ve had a full body scrub standing underneath it! Totally fabulous experience hope to stay again soon!Thank you!
