Lovely cottage in a quiet part of the countryside. There is a pub within walking distance but other than that you need to drive to shops etc. Within 40 minutes drive there are lots of tourist places plus the coast. There are walks and cycle routes from the door.The property was well equipped and nicely furnished. We found the mattress on the king size bed to be very firm and the pillows very soft but this is our personal view. It was lovely to have large bath sheets and towels for the swimming pool. The owner, Celia, was very welcoming and was available if we had any questions. She had made a lovely cake to welcome us , along with flowers, apple juice and milk. There was an initial supply of soap, washing up liquid etc.There was access to a heated indoor pool(May to Sept) as well as tennis court and table tennis.

Booking The Stables came about because we’d been let down on another booking. It turns out that we’re over-the-moon that the other booking was cancelled because The Stables was everything that we could have asked for and more. Celia, our host, was communicative, attentive and courteous (even baking us a cake and giving us milk on arrival). The accommodation was comfortable, clean and fully equipped with anything you may need for a week long stay. In terms of location, The Stables was perfectly located for us to be able to visit different towns and activity areas with a short (20-30 minute drive).In addition to having all this, the cottage includes an indoor pool that you can use (season dependent) at your disposal, for most of the day. This meant that, even on your quieter day, you’re able to splash around and enjoy the flexibility and freedom.Reading the guest book, it was full of return customers and we’ll be one of them. It was such a great week. Definitely recommended.
