We had a lovely stay at the Stables in Frosterley.
We had a lovely stay at the Stables in Frosterley. Village location is lovely with fantastic scenery all around. House is well equipped, nicely decorated and very clean. My sons enjoyed playing pool in the games room and used some of the board games there. Black Bull and Frosterley Inn both within walking distance plus a Co-op and chippy nearby for food supplies. Owner of property very pleasant.
