“The property was immaculate, clean and comfortable, with the jacuzzi being the icing on the cake.”

The owners Steve and Annabelle were very friendly and available, if needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would recommend to family and friends.

“Perfect Stay!”

!! The Stables was just what we needed for our family holiday. The accommodation, facilities were spot on. The Stables was spotless when we arrived, and had everything we needed to make our week comfortable and easy. Annabelle and Steve were so friendly and inviting. The text message on our arrival day was a lovely touch, and ideal when travelling a fair distance, to be able to keep in touch with updates on our arrival time. Great location to explore many areas. The farm shop is a must when staying here, beautiful produce and the cafe serves a lovely breakfast. Our daughter enjoyed going in the hot tub every day... We will definitely recommend this property to our friends and family.... and will hopefully return one day. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

“This property is just outstanding it really has got the wow factor, you are made to feel so welcome right from the beginning by Steve & Annabelle, they are the loveliest people.”

The stables is a little gem and it is like home from home. The cleanliness is amazing the little details are just perfect, from the design of the decor to the lush very comfortable beds. The garden area is lovely with a gorgeous hot tub to unwind in and chill out on the garden furniture. It really is 5 star and the 4 days we stayed there were perfect . So thank you to Steve & Annabelle.

“My partner and I booked The Stables for a break away and we were amazed at the visual and cleanliness.”

Steve came and introduced himself on our arrival along with showing us around and how to use the hot tub and other appliances, he also informed us that he in-fact crafted the beds himself and they’re beautiful, the workmanship is outstanding. All means to cook and clean are available, linens and towels were ready for us to use. We have nothing to say in the way of anything that could be changed. It was simply beautiful, and we also were informed about places to eat, visit and lovely walking areas as we are big fans of seeing the natural lands and landmarks. Thanks again Steve and family we will return again

“An Outstanding Property We were greeted with a very warm welcome from Annabelle and Steve.”

The accommodation was immaculate inside and outside, spacious and relaxing especially the hot tub located in the private patio area. It had everything you wanted and more. The extra touches of coffee, tea, milk and biscuits provided on arrival were a welcome surprise, as were all the cleaning products and all of these supplied at no extra cost. The location is great as coastal towns, bars and restaurants are all nearby. It is definitely a 5 star rating. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

“A fantastic property in a great location to explore the Jurassic Coast.”

The care and attention put into the property to both build it and then run it is obvious from both Steve and Annabelle, it was very well equipped, spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished to a high standard, spacious and very relaxing (even with two young children). Little extras like locally made biscuits, plentiful tea/coffee, fresh milk for arrival, hand soap in every room, cleaning products etc are a rarity in self catering cottages but really make a difference and makes this a standout property. We plan on returning in the future!

“We visited for 3 nights over the May Bank Holiday weekend and could not have been happier with our time at The Stables.”

The property was immaculate and had everything we needed and more. The location was ideal, it was easy to park, and the hot tub was a huge hit with our kids. The hosts were very welcoming and communication was excellent throughout. They even left us milk in the fridge and biscuits on the table which were much appreciated after a long drive from Chester. We hope to come back for a longer stay soon!

- Lorraine, May 2024

Located close to the Devon and Dorset border, the area has so much to offer with the nearby seaside town of Lyme Regis or the pretty fishing villages of Beer and Branscombe only a short car journey away.
