"The Stables provides a perfect escape."
It is set in a rural, secluded location with easy access to the coast and to the moors. It is stylishly furnished, exceedingly comfortable and very well equipped. Everything has been thought of, with a whole range of items provided, including a very welcome cake and bottle of wine. Raz was a wonderful host. She was friendly and helpful, even agreeing to send on items we had accidentally left behind. Raz achieved the perfect balance between respecting our privacy whilst being available if needed. We will not hesitate to return. There is so much to do in the area and The Stables provides the perfect base from which to explore. Thank you for the wonderful break despite the poor weather, including Storm Eunice! Hopefully next time, the sun will be shining.

"The Stables is a beautiful, well equipped, sumptious detached cottage in a rural idyll."
Everything is very good quality and well thought out.The owners are very friendly and welcoming, leaving us a bottle of wine and cake on arrival.
The wifi is fast, car parking is spacious and the wood burner cosy.
We were lucky with the weather and even had some November sunshine. The hills were challenging for cycling, but we were very fit by the end of our stay.

"Spacious, clean, well-equipped property in quiet location with great views, local walks and easy access to the wider area - which is beautiful!"
Friendly, helpful hosts always available but not interfering.
Skylight in 2nd bedroom meant daylight couldn't be entirely kept out: a bit of a problem in mid-summer when daylight comes so early!
Found lighting a little harsh for TV viewing at night, but this is a personal thing and a very minor issue when, overall, we were delighted with our stay at the property.

"Really friendly and helpful hosts."
The converted barn was perfect for the few days I wanted to lock myself away in a beautiful place and concentrate on some writing, music and painting. Although I was staying alone, the property is clearly also set up as a perfect family base from where to explore the delights of Exmoor.

It is comfortable and well equipped with all the modern conveniences that you need.
It is in a lovely quite, peaceful location with beautiful views across the countryside but is accessible to local attractions and beaches. A gorgeous place to spend a relaxing break.

She sent us a personal email before we went and greeted us on our first evening. It made us feel much more comfortable there compared to cottages we have been to where we have seen no one from the owners all week.

"The stables is a great place to stay if you are looking for peace and seclusion."
The owner is a lovely attentive person who goes out of her way to ensure that your needs are met. The Stables is also handily placed for the towns on the North Somerset coast. It enjoys the most remarkable night sky’s being in the Exmoor dark sky area. A must for any astronomy enthusiast. Sadly we only had one clear sky night.

"The cottage is beautiful and peaceful."
We found it easily and the welcome food was a lovely touch Raz the owner was very helpful when we got there. There is a lt to do in the area Dunster Castle is beautiful and the steam train is a good trip to Watchet and on to Minehead. The night skies at the cottage is lovely to see and the sheep in the field next to the cottage are fun to watch and showed the meaning behind the saying to follow like sheep. We would fully recommend anybody to stay at The Stables.

"The friendliness of our hosts was greatly appreciated as was The Stables, a tastefull conversion with the perfect mix of traditional decor with modern comfort."
We are unable to suggest any improvements as there is no need for them. The welcome by Raz and Gareth was heartfelt and the "little goodies" were as unexpected as they were enjoyable. We shall definitely be back! Brian and Ebba

"The team at Sykes we’re very helpful and responsive when I needed to make a change to my booking."
The Stabes were better than I imagined as the photos don’t did it justice. Clean, fresh and nicely decorated the Stables had everything I needed and the welcome goodies were a lovely bonus. The owners met me on arrival and couldn’t have been more helpful and made it clear that should I need anything to just contact them.
Overall a great place to stay with plenty to do from the front door or as a base to explore the area.
