Perfect
We adored it! The Stables was so comfortable, absolutely, spotlessly clean and very stylish. Everything you could possibly need had been provided by Maria and Steve and the welcome hamper and flowers were so thoughtful. We loved the walk down the the river even though we didn't make it over to the other side. It was just so peaceful there. The private outside area was also comfortable and peaceful. The location is just right, close to beautiful Exmoor and the very interesting coast. Barnstaple for supermarket shopping wasn't too far way. Maria and Steve were perfect hosts, friendly and discreet but always there if you needed them.

Staycation 23
The stables has provided us with exactly what we were looking for great accommodation and tranquil surroundings. Maria and Steve have put so much thought into the finish within the Stables, it’s amazing. Everything is completed to the highest standard. We have stayed at a number of cottages over the past decade and in our opinion the Stable is the best accommodation that we have stayed in . This was our first time in North Devon and even though the weather was not the best this did not detract from our experience, with there being plenty to do within a short drive

Super accommodation in lovely location
We had a great stay here. The accommodation was very well-equipped and luxurious, with a huge bed, wet room with bath and excellent shower, kitchen with everything that was required, and well-lit comfortable sitting area with TV, games etc. Maria was extremely helpful and we couldn't have asked for more. We would certainly be happy to stay here again.

5 STAR RELAXATION *****
Not only is this property beautifully furnished to a very high standard but Maria & Steve provided a very warm & friendly welcome aswell as providing some very informative tips and information to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The Stables is located in a woodland/farmland area but is only approx 20mins from the nearby town and coastline with a variety of activities/ places to visit. Overall a very relaxing experience with beautiful surroundings and outstanding accommodation - You will not be disappointed in choosing to stay here

OUTSTANDING
The Stables is by far the best rental accommodation we have stayed in. The directions provided were clear and accurate, and the Guest Guide file was comprehensive & complete. We were greeted by the very friendly host with various welcoming items too long to list (examples include Prosecco, a bunch of beautiful wild flowers, scones with strawberry jam & clotted cream - to name a few). The furnishings, appliances and utensils are all impeccable and there are special thoughtful touches everywhere to make you feel welcome and at home. The bed is big and comfortable and there are more than enough towels including bath sheets which were very welcome after relaxing in the beautiful big bath. We enjoyed a wonderful week and will certainly be back in the near future.
