Reviews
 30 Oct 2011 |
Just come back after have a week's stay in the Stables. We took our 2 children and our dog and had a great time. The place is very quiet and peaceful but in a great location so we visited lots of places. The Stables was very comfortable with a nice open plan kitchen/lounge/dining area. There was a bottle of wine awaiting with a welcome letter form the owners, who had given their permission to use all the amenities on offer (DVD player, CD, Washer machine, etc). There was also a selection of games on the shelves which we could use, Monopoly etc. An excellent base very attractively priced. Outlet shopping centre within 5 miles. It has its own private garden with views of the sea - which must be stunning in the spring/summer months, when we will definately be looking to return. Closeby are big amusement parks "Big Sheep", "Milky Way". Histroic places we visited which were beautiful were "Clovelly", "Hartland Quay", Lovely Beaches at Woolacoombe Bay and Ilfracoombe. On the way home we stopped off at Lynmouth for the day - ALL IN ALL A GREAT HOLIDAY |
Guestbook for The Stables
We are so relaxed! Thank you for a lovely stay in the Stables. It was perfect. - Tina, Nick, Olivia and Henry Jones
We really enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage. As well as being impressed by the Stables, we also loved the Hartland peninsula - we have come home for a rest after lots of good walks! - Mr & Mrs Fallding (June 2009)
We had a wonderful stay and found the stables very comfortable (our little boy enjoyed the open living space so he could keep an eye on us all). The character of the stables charmed us all and has given us a very enjoyable first family holiday and one that we hope to return to. Your photographs and descriptions on the local beaches were very helpful and we fell in love with Duck Pool and Sandy Mouth. - The Partridges (July 2009)
We had a lovely relaxing time - made better by the weather. Your place is perfect - warm, cosy, comfortable, spotless and had everything we needed - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends. The garden was great for letting Izzy have a run and admire the Donkey next door!! Mr and Mrs Yapp (September 2009)
