The Stables

Accommodation was well appointed and spotless - loved the hot tub with it's permanent rain canopy that can be opened to view clear skies. Lots of additional hospitality touches .... tea, coffee, coffee pods, biscuits, cereal, milk in the fridge made us all feel very welcome. Great location for local nature attractions and accessing the beautiful Solway shoreline.

Nothing.

This property is not accessible for disabled people. My wife could not use her wheelchair as it’s too narrow. The bathroom created big issues. A big step into the shower. She had to be lifted in and as there were no grab rails it was very difficult to get washed. After a few scary moments she gave up trying and had to try to balance on her frame at the sink to get washed. We only used the hot tub twice because of this issue. You have to bathe before and after which was just too difficult. She had brought a zimmer frame to get around inside but the size of the bathroom meant she could not manoeuvre easily around and it took up a lot of her energy. We don’t know why this was listed as having disabled facilities. There must be a clear understanding of people’s needs and basic ones such as bathing daily are essential. Thankfully she put up with it for the three days we spent there. Had we been longer it would have become impossible. The cottage is perfect for able bodied visitors. It’s clean, comfortable and pretty, the breakfast items were a nice touch. The gardens are beautiful. It’s a shame we won’t be returning

The property was listed as suitable for disabled. That’s the only reason we chose it. It is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The bathroom door opens in a way that if you are on a walking frame you get trapped inside, there are no rails to steady yourself anywhere in the bathroom, it’s dangerous for those who need aids to get around and stabilise

Excellent quality furnishings and accessories. Hot tub and sauna available. Good location for touring area. Extras left by hosts useful and appreciated (tea, coffee, sugar, milk cereals, biscuits and chocolates). Would stay again if visiting the area. Recommend.

There was nothing to dislike.

The stables now has a hot tub, which was lovely. There is a Sauna available to use, children's playground, etc. Lots of great facilities for guests to use. Clean, modern cottage in a lovely old setting.

Excellent really but perhaps a coffee table in seating area?

location, suited our requirements, quiet except for the crows 😁
