The Stables was very cosy and comfortable.
The Stables was very cosy and comfortable. We were particularly impressed by the welcome pack - butter, bread, crisps and both a bottle of Prosecco but also sherry! Bolam was very quiet but that made it extra restful, and a full range of shops was only a short drive away. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The stables was just perfect for our stay with our one year old. Travel cot and high chair were provided and the garden area was lovely for her to play in. We will definitely return when we are in the area again visiting family. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The Stables is a beautifully renovated cottage with lovely features in it.
The Stables is a beautifully renovated cottage with lovely features in it. Perfect if, on a bad-weather day, you wish to stay indoors and rest comfortably. There are plenty of places of all varieties to visit in easy driving distance from the cottage and also local walks in the village locality itself. The care and attention from the owner was fabulous. we felt very well looked after and communicated with. We had no problems with the wifi reception in the main sitting room - no worries there - even to do zoom meetings with! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
