    “We love it at Stable Cottage- been 4 times now.”

    It’s very clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The new bathroom suite is fantastic. Our only slight criticism would be the lack of recycling facilities. At home we take recycling very seriously but here all the rubbish went in the same bin. So we ended up taking it home. But all in all it was another great week in what has become our special place.
