Found silk hill stables a lovely, comfortable and a spotlessly clean place to stay. Enclosed court yard was excellent for our two dogs.

We have had a wonderful time at Silk Hill Stables. Liz was extremely welcoming and it is a haven if you have a furry friend - she knows exactly what you need and provides it in spades - towels, food, treats - it’s all there!! She also provides great information about walks, local places to visit and where to eat too. A fount of knowledge! Can’t fault anything about our holiday - it was excellent!!

A really lovely welcome from the owner cottage was well equipped and very clean. Super welcome pack. Restricted access was an issue. Pictures of the cottage on line very different to what was actually there but very very dog friendly
