We had a brilliant 3 night stay here with 3 young children and our dog. The cottage is clean, tidy and has everything required for a comfortable stay. The high chair, travel cot and stair gate were great additions that made our stay easier. This place had everything needed and the children loved seeing all the animals on the farm so close by. The owners were friendly and helpful and great in offering recommendations of things to do and places to see. The weather wasn’t the driest, but we took advantage of having a log burner and toasted marshmallows and stayed cosy inside instead. Lots of lovely beaches nearby. An ideal place to stay to explore the area. We would definitely return. The four poster bed in the master bedroom was so comfy and made our stay feel very luxurious. Thank you!

We had an absolutely lovely stay at The Stables. Mark and Philippa were the perfect hosts. They regularly included our girls (10 and 5) in tending to their many animals; something our girls were more than happy to do! The cottage itself was cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. We roasted marshmallows on the fire every night while playing board games by the fire :) Location-wise, the cottage was well-appointed. We easily went into Aberporth for fish and chips, Newquay for a day at the beach and a dolphin spotting boat ride, Cenarth Falls, Abererion for lunch, Tresaith for dinner, the Moody Cow for soft play and the National Wool Museum (recommend). We all agree that we'd love to visit The Stables again 🙂
