Owner and accommodation very good. Everything just as photos show, which is rare!! The farm track approach needs some basic work to fill in the potholes.

Loved The Old Stables Cottage, it was a great cottage it was like home from home, everything you needed was there. Good base to travel to places. Neil was very friendly and helpful and the Wine and fresh eggs were a nice touch on arrival. We will definitely be back.
