Stable Cottage was a real treat! Such a comfortable,cosy cottage with a well stocked kitchen should you want to cook. Maureen,the owner, was so kind & informative of the surroundings & places to visit. So many ‘on the doorstep’. A wonderful location. The Old Oak Tree pub 100yards away has a great menu & also provides take-a-way meals. I would definitely recommend this cottage.
