Stables End is an excellent holiday stay. Tucked away on a quiet working farm yet a short distance from shops, cafes, bars & seafront. It’s extremely clean throughout and very well maintained with all home-from-home equipment you need. Very high quality bedding & furniture. The bathroom is spotless. Sonya & Richard are very welcoming but by no means intrusive. Perfect for rest & relaxation! A gem.

Where do I start! I don’t normally use words like Brilliant, Magnificent, wonderful, perfect, fab even. But in this instance I shall use them all. Probably the nearest to “heaven on earth” one can ever get. The owners introduced themselves to enquire if everything was OK. Best eggs and the cake was delicious.Never realised that Somerset was so picturesque. We even had a spot of rain!
