The property is highly recommended for a relaxing break, with friendly hosts ensuring a warm welcome.
Guests consistently describe the property as very clean and tidy, indicating high standards of cleanliness maintained by the hosts.
The property is praised for its good location near towns and attractions, though one review mentions it being slightly off the beaten track. The peaceful countryside setting is appreciated by many.
Reviews highlight the property's comfort and warmth, with several guests noting a relaxing and enjoyable stay. However, a suggestion for a grab rail in the shower indicates room for improvement in comfort for some guests.
While guests are generally pleased with the facilities, mentioning a well-equipped kitchen and secure garden, there are mixed comments about the approach needing repair and a desire for a shower grab rail, which prevents a definitive score.

We had a week at the Stables. The approach is in desperate need of repair. Very difficult to walk a dog (the weather didn’t help). We found the cottage comfortable and warm. A grab rail for the shower would be a help.

It was a beautiful cottage set in lovely grounds! It had everything you needed and a lovely welcome basket and milk in the fridge. Very thoughtful! Just felt it was a little off the beaten track for us. A very relaxing time though, came home feeling very relaxed.
