Very nice cottage - plenty of space. Beds very comfy - but the real highlight - the views were unbelievable - in every direction. Good outside space - dog proof.

Whilst the cottage was relatively clean, it was tired in places.

We had a lovely few days over New Year at the Old Stables. We were a party of six adults and two dogs and we had plenty of room and the house was very cosy and well equipped. It's great to have the additional fridge in the utility room and a full freezer in the kitchen is also a bonus when you have a few to cater for! The location is fabulous - eveRead moren in December/January when we had some awful rain, the scenery is spectacular and great for dog walks (with care for sheep in the fields). Hide

Lovely spacious house in a beautiful setting. Lots of extra touches to make it welcoming, like books, games, puzzles etc and a bbq. The WiFi was excellent and the smart TV made good use of it! Kitchen well stocked with utensils etc and two modern ovens made cooking easy. We all loved the sun room at the back. Would definitely recommend.
