There is spectacular walking along the high ridges of the Fforest Fawer Geopark, plus scenic cycle rides or drives along the river.

Fabulous place. Every room was clean and had mirrors, comfortable settees and chairs, and was very well equipped throughout.Beds were comfortable but could have been bigger.Only one tv and that was a bit small for the room but other than that and the above we cannot fault anything. One of the best places our group has stayed in, and we are very particular about our lodgings, and we would strongly recommend it.

If you’re looking for a large, well appointed remote getaway house, Y Stabl could be perfect for your group. Contrary to some of the internet reviews, the wi-fi is now incredibly fast (earlier feedback has been taken on board) and the owners are clearly continuing to invest in the property. Although hard to glean from the photos, the layout of the house really works. We loved it here.
