So clean, well equipped and comfortable. The hosts are lovely and on-hand if you need them. Really well placed for tranquility but also close to some excellent places to visit (Quarr Abbey, Fishguard, Havenstreet steam railway, Osbourne, Carisbrook castle and pretty village pubs with good pub grub!). The view from the lounge is breathtaking, just gentle rolling hills and countryside. Everything was quality and comfort. We (and Disney Boxer) would highly recommend 2 The Stables.

What I loved most was how spotlessly clean it was. I would definitely highly recommend it and hopefully get to stay again ourselves.
