The cottage was perfect, with everything we needed and a lovely location. It was beautifully clean, with great views of the countryside and a good walk over the road for the dog. Friendly, helpful owners. We were all very comfortable. Shops and takeaways close by. Lots to do in the area. P

On arriving at Hen Stabl we were not disappointed at all.The cottage was clean, comfortable and light, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Ben and Kate were the perfect hosts, friendly and approachable and who left a lovely welcome tray out ready for our arrival. Situated off the main road but with outstanding views across the countryside and a gorgeous garden. We would definitely return and recommend to family and friends.
