Mervyn n Sue enjoyed the peace and quite and the spaciousness of this lovely bungalow.
Mervyn n Sue enjoyed the peace and quite and the spaciousness of this lovely bungalow. We would definitely return to The Stable next year. The owner Mrs Laing was so welcoming and had left a homemade cake and bottle of wine plus fresh flowers for us on arrival. A lovely touch. The only thing that we missed was a coat hanger in the entrance as very wet and windy weather so coats were quite wet.
