Spotlessly clean. Welcoming owners. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Great enclosed garden for the dogs. Hot tub perfect temperature and very clean. Short drive to Aberaeron and located well to explore the area. We really enjoyed out stay and would recommend the Stable.

Set in an amazing location. It was spotless and had everything you needed. The outdoor space was great for the dogs to run around and play in and the hot tub helped eased the aches and pains of the days walking. You can walk directly from the cottage into the local town, through National trust woodland and off road trail (7.5 mile round trip) I would highly recommend this cottage if your looking to get away from it all and relax

There's a pretty woodland and riverside walk right from the property with a cafe about 10-15 mins walk away. We loved Aberaeron and also drove further along the coast to Penbryn and walked the coastal path to Tresaith, both had gorgeous beaches. The Stable was well equipped, very comfortable, and the hot tub was so relaxing! We liked how dog friendly it was, with the secure garden and walks from the doorstep.
