A wonderful trip down memory lane

My 2 daughters and I had such a special holiday staying in The Stables, it was everything I had hoped for and more. Liz & Alan made us feel so welcome, they are such lovely people. The cottage was bright, warm, comfortable and had everything we needed and the welcome basket and milk were very much appreciated. The Wharf is such a beautiful base for a peaceful stay with lots of interesting places to visit nearby. Thank you x
