The Stables is a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing hideaway in a blissful corner of the world. The cottage is snug and thoughtfully appointed, so it was cozy even during a dark and dreary time of the year. The hosts Jackie and Jonathan have thought through the details and want their guests (and their guests' pets) to have a great stay--so be sure to let them know who's coming, and they'll take care of the rest. Few places are so well set up for longer stays. There was a place for everything and all the things one needs to be comfortable away from home--reading lamps in the right places, proper things to start a fire and keep it going during chilly weather, access to a washer and dryer, sufficient cooking utensils, comfortable bedding. The charges for extras were reasonable (laundry, refills of firewood, pet fee). There are nice walks on the property, unicorns, ocean views from the hill behind the garden, friendly donkeys, and the invitation to fall into life on a farm. David and Adrienne who help look after things manage to notice just when you need help while giving you plenty of space to just be. I didn't want to leave.
