Description
Restored and rebuilt from the original building of 1703, using eco-friendly materials, this stunning cottage is a delight!
A bespoke Oak Front Door leads into the Sitting Room. Opened up to the ceiling, the massive English Oak beams provide the framework for a glorious space. Dual aspect, the French Doors lead onto your private patio at the rear, with views over the gardens beyond.
The terracotta floor provides a warm base to the ambiance of the room. The furniture is an eclectic mix of new (comfortable sofa and cushions) and antique golden oak furniture. A large digital television with Freeview, DVD player, radio with i pod dock are supplied, along with a selection of films and music to entertain you. Uncluttered comfort has been the aim.
The bedroom area has a beautiful English hand-crafted white wrought iron bed , with side tables to match. Pure wool rugs to warm your feet and luxurious bed linen, along with silk cushions and throws complement the antique wardrobe and dressing table. The overall effect is calm, tranquil and so relaxing.
Step into the bathroom and you step into the 21st Century. Dominated by a huge walk-in shower, the bathroom is stylish and modern, highlighted by the vivid splash made by the soft, thick towels. A lit mirror for the ladies and an eco-friendly hairdryer is incorporated along with stylish accessories to complete the effect.
The solid oak kitchen is fitted with a washing machine, fridge with freezer compartment, dishwasher, microwave, and oven with ceramic touch-control hob and extractor. A larger freezer, ironing board and iron, tumble dryer and space for suitcases is provided in The Old Bakehouse opposite the cottage, along with the recycling boxes. You even have a water filter jug!
An apron to protect your clothes, blender, hand-mixer, bean to carafe coffee machine, there are so many thoughtful items in the kitchen to help make your break easy. Wedgewood china, delicate glassware – home from home! A delightful room in which to cook and enjoy conversation over a glass of wine- if you don't fancy cooking, we have a range of home-cooked frozen meals, perfect after a day out.
Since opening in 2009, we have consistently been awarded 4* Gold award with Visit England. New for this year, Nespresso coffee machine.

Response from the owner The Stables is located in the small town of Shatterling very idyllic behind the main house, thus isolated from the traffic. The garden is almost a small park with a large mulberry tree, where many singing birds frolic. The rooms are extremely lovingly and high quality designed and absolutely nothing is missing. If you have any wishes, you can contact the friendly landlords Anne and Rob, who live next door in the main building. This proximity is not disturbing, we did not meet the two during our stay. We would very much like to come back immediately. This is an English translation of your great review for The Stables. Thank you so much, it was a real pleasure to meet you both, and hope to see you again soon.
