What a fantastic little cottage, everything you need and more, spotlessly clean and very cosy (just to say if your going to stay at this cottage then look out for the hidden draw under the oven you will find the baking trays in there lol) We had an amazing week the weather was very kind to us even t-shirt weather lol. Plenty of walks, beach not to far to go to and Cleeve Abbey is a must. Thanks for a great stay 🙂 From Andy Sarah & Roxy the dog

Stables End is an excellent holiday stay. Tucked away on a quiet working farm yet a short distance from shops, cafes, bars & seafront. It’s extremely clean throughout and very well maintained with all home-from-home equipment you need. Very high quality bedding & furniture. The bathroom is spotless. Sonya & Richard are very welcoming but by no means intrusive. Perfect for rest & relaxation! A gem.
