The stable cottage is perfect for wheel chair bound and disable people wide doors, easy entrance and plenty of room in bedroom, because Wi-Fi is very poor which has been mentioned by other guests but can be solved by going into managers office where you can go down the stairs to washing, drying and another fridge The local Sun Inn pub in the villagRead moree which is a couple of miles away so have to drive but plenty of % beer and cider meals very good especially steak pie Hide

Very homely and everything you need. Views are beautiful and not far to reach anywhere. TV signal had slight interruptions at times and struggled to get the WiFi - appreciate it is in the country but do need WiFi when staying anywhere. Lovely welcome when arrived.

The Stable was absolutely perfect! My elderly Mum was comfortable, warm and was able to walk around the cottage as each room lead into another in a circular fashion with no stairs to climb. The kitchen was very well equipped and just the right size. The bathroom was very elderly/disability friendly and the water was piping hot. The bedroom was loveRead morely. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the quilt and bedding nothing short of luxurious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return. Hide

Stable cottage is a great base for the Northern Lakes and the coastal area around Maryport. Comfortable cottage with plenty of space to relax in, and a pleasant extensive garden to sit in after energetic days out.
