Wow!  We both had a fantastic stay in your cosy little stable and thank you for the generous welcome pack and use of the indoor pool.  We had a lovely day visiting Colyton and took a journey on the tram to Seaton and back.  Well worth a visit.  The local pub and restaurant The Helyar Arms was great.  Thank you Fiona for a truly peaceful few days in such idyllic surroundings adn it was great to chat to Jason about like minded interests.

Mr M June 2023

What a little gem home from home.  Thank you for accommodating us short notice, just what the doctor ordered.  You and your family are so friendly and welcoming.  Would lhighly recommend the White Horse for Sunday lunch, The Helyar Arms, very friendly pub and staff with amazing food.  We visited Sherborne Castle and grounds - absolutely stunning and we visited West Bay.  So much to do and see.  Will definitely be back but not on our own!

Mrs C Dec. 2022

Thank you Fiona for our lovely stay in your converted stables.  A really cosy little bolthole after some wonderful days out.  We'll certainly be returning to explore the area further.  The swimming pool made our stay even better - so lovely to have the pool to ourselves every morning - Andy in particular enjoyed his 30 lengths every morning, accompanied by Pink floyd on his smart phone!  ps milk was delicious!

Mrs R Sept. 22

The Little Stable is a cosy, peaceful and picturesque retreat for two and a great base for exploring South Somerset and Dorset, with the town of Yeovil 5 minutes away for shopping. The accommodation makes excellent use of the space, with everything needed and it was exceptionally clean. A great night's sleep rounded off the days with a super-comfy bed and quality bed linen. The hosts were extremely welcoming and communication was very easy. We loved the local goodies they provided and a great bonus was private use of their swimming pool. Highly recommend.

Mrs H Sept. 22

We really enjoyed our stay we both feel completely recharged after a lovely, relaxed long weekend. Thankyou

Miss M August 22

The Little Stable is a rare find. Set in a beautiful and peaceful location, with use of a wonderful pool. A great base for exploring the surrounding countryside and coast. We loved our mini break here, only wish we could have stayed longer!

Such a great property to stay in, cosy, peaceful and having the addition of the pool to use was just amazing! Fiona is a great host too. Thank you so much!
Mr D July 22

Lovely place in a scenic area and including a great heated pool, couldn't ask for more!

Mr P July 22

We had the best stay at The Little Stable! After getting married just two days before we arrived, it was the perfect place to visit and relax just the two of us. Fiona and Jason were so welcoming and we really enjoyed getting to know them and they had so many great tips on where to go in the area. The property was very comfortable, extremely clean and had everything we needed. We loved sitting out on the patio and hearing all the animals nearby. The indoor pool was great and we used this everyday! The property is in great location with everything you need close by. We did a nice day trip to West Bay and loved visiting the local farm shop. We didn't want to leave! Thank you both for everything and we would love to return one day!
Mrs C July 22

We loved our mini get-away to Fiona's tiny home. The pool was an added bonus and relaxing after a long day exploring. We had everything we needed for our stay and even dined alfresco every night! It was lovely and quiet, close to amenities, but tucked away enough that you felt like you were in the countryside. Thank you Fiona!

Miss R July 22

We enjoyed our stay, it was lovely! The pool room was amazing and loved that we had it to ourselves. Really good location for water sports and fossil hunting. The extra snacks were a nice touch too!

Miss J Apr. 22

Fiona’s Little Stable is cosy and comfortable, small but perfectly formed, containing everything I needed even for a month long stay - not to mention access to a glorious indoor pool. It’s also one of those very rare things… a lovely rural location you can enjoy without need of a car! There’s a charming village cafe, great pub and fabulous little farm shop all within pleasant walking distance, and central Yeovil is a green 50 minute walk away. There’s a fabulous network of footpaths and quiet country lanes, weaving from one pretty village/hamlet to another. EVERYBODY I met in the area was kind, friendly and welcoming - certainly not least, Fiona and her husband themselves! 😁

Miss A Apr. 22

Lovely cottage, well kept and had everything we needed. The pool is absolutely great and we enjoyed using it after exploring the area at the end of the day. Thanks for a little stay.

Fantastic stay with Fiona at the little stable. Cute place, but with a very well equipped kitchen and lovely views of the sunset. The pool is also a complete luxury, we had it for ourselves both mornings as Fiona kindly allowed us a late check out. Also in a picturesque part of the countryside, with plenty of walking & pub options around. Many thanks for a great long weekend visit!

Mr J Feb. 22

Great accommodation. Very clean and ideally suited for touring Dorset and Somerset. Use of indoor swimming pool an added bonus.

We booked this little trip to escape the busy London life and it was everything we could have hoped for and more!  We had some lovely days out visiting Durdle Door, Monkey World and we even drove to Bath for the day.  Of a night time we enjoyed cooking our own dinners and having a couple of drinks around the BBQ,.......accompanied by Sybil, Poppy and Luna the goose!  The Little Stable was the perfect retreat surrounded by so much beautiful space which is perfect for some refreshing walks.  The pool was the perfect bonus and we enjoyed a refreshing morning swim to start our days!  Thank you so much Fiona & Jason for making us feel so welcome!  You have a beautiful farm & we look forward to coming back!

Miss K Nov. 2019

We really enjoyed a relaxing four days at The Stable. Although small it had everything my wife and I needed to make the most of our break. It is located within a short drive of many towns and villages, so we had plenty to do and see. Fiona could not be more accommodating without being intrusive. It was just what we needed to get away and relax for a few days.

Mr A Oct. 2019

A beautiful getaway for two. Nice and cosy. Friendly hosts and a great getaway from the city. The little stable is truly a lovely space with its personal curated touches.

Miss S Oct. 2019

This is a fantastic stay ! Hosts were fantastic giving lots of recommendations which were very appreciated. The pool was fantastic and was perfect especially with the weather. Everything was excellent with the room and there was some very nice touches with the little bits in the room. Everything was in the room that you could possibly need. Would stay again and again !

Mr O Oct. 2019

We had such a lovely stay at Fiona's! Perfect for two people, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Had some lovely walks in the area and loved sitting outside to eat our meals, with a very inquisitive goose.

Highly recommend

Perfect location, beautifully clean. Really cute space- beautiful surroundings. Cute welcome treats and even a bbq, pet goose and if you're lucky gorgeous doggos come to visit xx

Miss L Sept 2019

Miss E Aug 2019

Miss C Aug 2019

A lovely tiny house with everything you could need! Nice bbq and the swimming pool was a great plus! Also great idea to have the air con up in the loft as it cools it down a lot during the hotter summer nights! Location was nice and peaceful. Overall, a very enjoyable stay!

Miss E Aug 2019

Beautiful stable conversion, nicely decorated, comfortable and homely with some very thoughtful touches added. Everything you need convenience wise was available... we enjoyed the use of the swimming pool and the company of Arkus, the goose, and a brief encounter with the very well behaved Labradoodle. We definitely recommend a stay at this perfectly tranquil yet thoroughly entertaining little property!

Mr S July 2019

I can’t thank these guys enough. I wanted a nice relaxing get away to clear my mind and reenergise and that’s exactly what I got! The kitchen had everything I needed and all the extra touches were just brilliant! Waking up to Luna (the goose) every morning who would join me for my coffee outside and have a chat. They are truly lovely people and I can’t wait to visit again! :-)

Miss E Jul 2019


A number of houses and gardens within easy reach. Athlehampton House and Gardens, Sherbourne Castle, Abbotsbury Sub tropical garden - if you go into the village of Abbotsbury you can walk to St Catherine's Chapel - a place of splendid isolation and wonderful views. Forde Abbey and gardens and Mappleton House and gardens (the tour guide Jerry is very knowledgeable and makes the tour very interesting).  A wonderul week with lovely hosts.

Mrs W Jul 2019


Amazing place, owned by amazing people. Very helpful giving local tips of which we tried out and very accurate. The place was lovely, it was clean and well equipped. Check on was very easy and so was check out. And finally the best part was the owners were very welcoming and helpful which made the place outstanding

Miss D Feb 2019

The Little Stable was fantastic! We felt welcome, sharing a beautiful part of Fiona’s and her family’s home (although the little stable is totally separate and private) tooked away in the beautiful countryside! The hospitality was perfect, welcoming but not intrusive. We had an amazing nights sleep with the luxury bedding. Little luxury touches such as the lovely biscuits were fabulous and the pool really was the icing on the cake! Thank you for a great stay, we will be back!

Miss L Apr 2019

The perfect rural retreat to unwind and escape from life’s hustle and bustle. Everything we expected and more! Thank you again Fiona for yours and your family’s excellent hospitality.

MIss K Nov. 2018

What a little gem, lovely relaxing stay with beautiful scenery, lovely pool, and very thoughful hosts who went the extra mile with firepit for marshmallow toasting and halloween extras.  All in all a wonderful stay for us as a familiy.  Thank you, we will take away some lovely memories adn would definitely recommend.

A truly splendid place to stay. Some lovely treats on arrival, lovely picturesque location. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning!!

Mr S Oct. 2018

Perfect stay! Delightful hosts, Fiona & Jason were lovely. The geese were fun. The accommodation was lovely and the huge indoor swimming pool was icing on the cake. I cannot recommend the place highly enough. I have just one quip, it is too cheap for what is on offer #amazingvalue

Mr R Sept 2018

Such a lovely piece of Heaven.  Thank you for letting us stay here, it has been very restful and we have fallen for the geese - they are really lovely!

Mrs S Sept 2018

I have said The Little Stable was a bit better than I expected and that's because I had very high expectations which were still exceeded. If you want a little quiet hideaway for 2 with the added bonus of a fantastic pool to use then this is the place to go. Great communication, local tips, little extra touches like The White Company toiletries and local delicacies. The morning alarm call from the Geese - a lovely place to stay

Ms Z Sept 2018

Great place with great hosts who take care of you and can offer real great advice to make your stay the best it can be.

Mr W Sept 2018

Fiona’s place is a perfect space for two. The host (and her family) are very friendly. The geese and duck are great neighbours and access to a pool was amazing! Wish we’d stayed longer. Recommendations in the book didn’t disappoint and Fiona left some foods from the local farm shop to try, which were all great. We even nipped into the shop on the way out to buy some of the pear juice!

Miss D Aug 2018

Lovely little bijou spot for a weekend away. The use of the pool was a great added benefit

Miss F Aug 2018

We absolutely loved our stay in the Little Stable. It was quiet and remote and a beautiful spot. The accommodation was super cosy, finished to a high standard with everything we needed in there. Loved the Nespresso machine, what a treat! The bedding and towels were soft and thick and the extra blankets made for a good nestle on the sofa. I would highly recommend this accommodation. Great for couples looking some time out in the countryside, plenty of local sites to visit.

Miss J Aug 2018

We even nipped into the shop on the way out to buy some of the pear juice!

Miss D Aug 2018

A beautiful space with lovely amenities. Tucked away for great privacy but not too far off the beaten track for getting to other places. A great find!

Miss J Aug 2018

It’s a great little place - very private and quiet. The geese and duck (they live just in front of the door) were great neighbours and the pool was lovely to swim in. The hosts made us welcome and are very warm hearted. We recommend a walk down Sleepy Hollow. 

Mr R Aug 2018

Lovely little bijou spot for a weekend away. The use of the pool was a great added benefit.

Miss F Aug 2018

Comfortable accommodation with all you need. Animals on site are great fun to watch and the pool is a treat.

Miss V Aug 2018

A beautiful little place for a peaceful trip away. Great hosts in a great location. Thanks Fiona. we will be back.

Mr W June 2018

A smashing hideaway for a couple. Really cosy and well equipped. Lovely hosts who were ready to help when needed but never intruded. This was our 1st. attempt at Airbnb and we'll be using it again if this is the norm.

Mr B June 2018

Thanks so much for a great few days, will certainly come again.

Mrs L May 2018

Fiona was a fantastic host, the place was clean and comfortable. We had a lovely time and would recommend this for a quiet break away.

Mrs M May 2018

My wife and I had a great weekend at Fiona’s place. We ate at the local pub that’s just a 15 minute walk away on our first night and barbecued on our second. Fiona supplied the bbq and charcoal. All in all a lovely way to spend an anniversary weekend.

Mr B May 2018

We had a fantastic stay in the little stable. A beautifully decorated space and a great location, so peaceful. The indoor pool was great and they had lots of recommendations for places to eat and drink in the area. Communication before/during/after our stay was all excellent. Highly recommend. We really hope to stay again in the future!

Miss P May 2018

Beautiful location, lovely accommodation and great to have access to the pool! Highly recommend!

Miss E April 2018

We had a great stay at Fiona's place! The bed was so comfy, we had everything we needed in the kitchen and the welcome gifts were a lovely touch. We enjoyed watching the chickens, ducks and geese and even bought a goose egg for breakfast! Thank you for your welcoming hospitality.

Miss E April 2018

Wonderfully styled peaceful accommodation. Ideal for a quiet break away from the daily grind.

Mr K April 2018

We had a wonderful stay! Much needed quality time in the countryside. Great little place, lovely host, wonderful pool which is excellent for relaxation! Would definitely come again! Definitely stumbled across a hidden gem at The Little Stables :)

Miss L April 2018

Had an amazing trip here, relaxing and beautiful. Would definitely come back again and stay. Wonderful host who couldn’t be more helpful.

Mr J April 2018

We had a lovely stay in the appartment, very cosy and an extremely comfortable bed. The welcome drinks and little extras were great on arrival. Fiona was excellent at communicating leading up to and throughout our stay. The use of the pool was nice and private. We enjoyed the welcome from the chickens right outside our door in the morning! A hidden little gem. Thank you

Miss F April 2018

Excellent host and an an amazing place to stay. Couldn't fault it in any way. Loved the extra touches and will certainly be back.

Very enjoyable stay.  Friendly and accommodating hosts.  Great bonus having access to the pool.  Excellent WiFi.  Would certainly stay again.

Mr H March 2018

“A really special location.”

Mrs K Feb 2018

“This was our first air bnb experience and Fiona’s place was absolutely beautiful. The bed was so comfortable and the little touches of goodies were really appreciated. Fiona and her husband were very welcoming and helpful. We spent a lovely few hours in the pool and I would recommend. We’d definitely go back for another peaceful break, thank you so much for having us!”

Miss N Feb 2018

We had a fantastic stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Mr G Feb. 2018

Lovely place to stay - great host too.

Mr T Jan. 2018

We chose Flo’s Cottages to have a peaceful retreat after the Christmas madness and that’s exactly what we got. The location is perfect for gentle strolls in the country and the accommodation offers everything you need for a relaxing short stay. The welcome basket was... well... very welcome, the pool was fantastic(!) and the bed was particularly comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful break.

Dr F Dec 2017

Fiona’s place is awesome for a little getaway, it’s very clean and comfortable with a great setting. Fiona is very friendly and always there for any help required whilst at her cottage.

Mr P Dec 2017

Fiona ,was a very polite and attentive host without being in the least imposing. The little Stable was exactly what it said on the tin 😁 whilst being very comfortable. Outstanding welcome pack. The swimming pool excellent, all in all a most enjoyable stay, will be definitely back ,very soon.

Mr W Nov, 2017

Exceptional

Mr M Oct. 2017

Great hideaway for anyone looking for a bit of peace and quiet. Love the set up - small but brilliantly laid out, so it was just the right size for two and felt cosy - especially with the underfloor heating! Some great places to visit but recommend West Bay - great seafood restaurant as recommended by Fiona's handbook for the area, and the walk down the Jurassic Coast was fantastic. Fiona was of course a perfect and friendly host, and the rooms were well furnished and like new - will be back again soon!

Mr R Oct. 2017

What a fantastic place to spend a few days! Lovely and quiet, really picturesque and scenic. Would love to return. Absolutely would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet getaway. Thanks for letting us stay!

Mr M Oct. 2017

Amazing hospitality by Fiona and her husband. Beautiful place just perfect for a getaway. Thoughtful and generous little touches. Very rural gorgeous location. Pool was wonderful! Would thoroughly recommend to all!

Miss H Oct. 2017

Fiona’s place is just as beautiful as in the pictures. All the white company toiletries make it a very luxurious place to stay! Thanks

Mrs C Oct. 2017

The small stable really is as beautiful in real life as it is in the pictures! The pool is a great addition for a daily swim! Fiona was very friendly and helpful providing lots of local knowledge to make our stay even more enjoyable! Would highly recommend for a relaxing get away!

Mrs K Sept. 2017

We had a wonderful short break, Fiona made us feel incredibly welcome and at ease in her beautifully converted barn. Milk in the fridge and biscuits were just what we needed on arrival after a long journey.

Mr A Sept. 2017

The small stable really is as beautiful in real life as it is in the pictures! The pool is a great addition for a daily swim! Fiona was very friendly and helpful providing lots of local knowledge to make our stay even more enjoyable! Would highly recommend for a relaxing get away!

Mrs K Sept. 2017

What a lovely place, very quiet and private... loved every second everything about the place is perfect !! Hope to go back some time

Mr B Sept. 2017

A very nice stable conversion, very comfortable and use of a lovely indoor heated pool . Great village with lots of interesting history

Mrs W Sept. 2017

Would highly recommend Fiona's place. It is even better than it looks in the pictures, the attention to detail makes it very worthwhile. Just overall had a lovely stay. Clean, friendly, and cozy.

Miss O Sept. 2017

We had a great time at Flo's cottages. Loved the walks nearby especially the East Coker cafe. The pool area is excellent just like everything else. We stayed in the Little Stable which had all we needed with great neighbours of the chickens, ducks & geese. Definitely somewhere we would visit again.

Mr H Aug 2017

Good location, close to 'civilisation' (Yeovil) but a quiet spot in the country with lots of walks in the vicinity and a short drive away (plus coastal walks with West Bay only 40 mins away). Enjoyed the pool which was lovely. The chickens and the pairs of ducks and geese were also very entertaining. Fiona was very attentive despite being away at the time. Highly recommended!

Mr C Aug 2017

Perfect location and place to stay. The facilities were amazing and the recommendation for local things to do made the stay really easy and enjoyable. Would highly recommend

Mr H Aug 2017

We had a wonderful stay at the Little Stable! Such a peaceful area but not too far from plenty of fun things to do! The accommodation is immaculately clean and very comfortable, with lovely attention to detail. It was a well needed break and the indoor pool was fantastic! The host Fiona is really helpful and lovely and we hope you will have us back in the future as it's one of our favourite breaks away to date!!!

Miss D Aug 2017

Small but perfectly formed, this is a lovely place to stay. Very peaceful, with the chickens, duck and geese outside and set in beautiful countryside. We didn't try the swimming pool but it looked great. The Stable is very well designed, giving every comfort but is a small and cosy space. We just loved this place and will come back.

Mrs M August 2017

The little stable at east Coker was the perfect getaway for us. We wanted somewhere homely from which to explore and that's exactly what we got. It's small but perfectly formed with a fully fitted kitchen, lovely wet room, a sofa area to relax in and a comfortable bed on the mezzanine level but what we most enjoyed was sitting out on the private patio watching the chicken ducks and geese waddle around, we even had fresh eggs for breakfast. The swimming pool was a real luxury, lovely and warm perfect for a few lengths or just floating about. Fiona was the perfect host, we only wish we could have stayed longer.

Miss J July 2017

Fiona's place is beautiful, and a great place to stay if you're looking for a relaxing get away. We could not fault this place in any way, we only stayed for 2 nights but could have stayed longer. Would definitely recommend.

Miss H July 2017

Really well appointed and well equipped cottage with everything needed for a short break. Loved the welcome tray with local goodies - useful and thoughtful.

Mr J July 2017

If you are looking for a clean, homely, all mod-con place to say and enjoy a piece of paradise in the Somerset countryside, look no further. Fiona and her family were super friendly and made my stay truly something to remember. I can only recommend the Little Stable!

Mr B July 2017

Really enjoyed our short stay at Flo's Cottages. Very comfortable, well equipped and perfect location to explore Somerset and the Dorset coast.

Mrs P July 2017

We can't wait to book again, and loved everything about our stay. The location is beautiful, the cottage is very comfortable and stylish -- had everything we needed. Communication with the property manager was very pleasant and always easy.  Thoroughly enjoyed!! Thank you

Mr T July 2017

If you want to stay in a beautiful place incorporating comfort, luxury, pool and peace this is the place for you. Fiona the host is helpful and friendly and there are no end of stunning views and pretty villages to visit.

Mrs A June 2017

Fiona was a great host, very laid back but attentive to our needs. Hospitality was great and the room had everything we needed. The pool was a lovely touch to a very relaxing rural weekend. Having a car is recommended to make the most of your stay. Overall, a very pleasing and positive experience.

Mr O June 2017

Had a brilliant stay, wish we could've stayed for longer to use the pool too! Easy to find, and self check in made it really simple to settle in straight away. Fiona had left us some loca cider, milk, pear juice, cookies etc which was a really nice touch after our long journey! (Tip: buy some of the eggs that Fiona and Jason sell at the front of the house - delicious and can't get fresher!!!) Kitchen had everything you could need during a stay and there was even a BBQ which we made the most of in this nice weather! The bathroom had toiletries (very nice white company ones!!) and towels included which was handy. We met Fiona and Jason during the stay (as well as their gorgeous dog wandering the grounds!) and they were lovely and friendly and great at replying to messages quickly. In a beautiful scenic secluded area, but only a short drive to Yeovil town. We took a trip to Weymouth beach too which was lovely Wish we could've stayed longer!! Thanks for having us.

Miss Y June 2017

We've just had a fab long weekend here , we are both relaxed and chilled out , loved waking up to the chickens and the geese ..... the fresh eggs were delicious for breakfast . Thank you Fiona and Jason for a warm welcome and comfortable stay .......

Mr B June 2017

Hello Fiona We much enjoyed our short stay in the Little Stable. It is so well appointed and thoughtfully designed. We certainly hope to come again. Thank you

Mr T June 2017

The little stable was beautiful, it had everything needed for a perfect weekend! we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you so much!

Miss S May 2017

Thank you for such a lovely weekend!  The Little Stable is beautiful and the chickens and geese have been great company!  We look forward to coming back soon!

Miss S May 2017

The Little Stable is a perfect house for couples. Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the country side. The apartment was very cosy and Fiona gave us fantastic welcome treats such us lemon cake and wine. We will definitely come back :)

Miss C Apr. 2017

Fiona's place was so beautiful and homely. I genuinely felt at home and that I could live there. It's in a lovely area with gorgeous views and fields for walks but it's also still close enough to walk into the local town so you get the best of both worlds. The geese and the chickens are so cute and you could watch them for hours. The place in general is exactly like the photos and beautifully decorated. Lovely touches and a delicious home made lemon cake and a bottle of wine to greet us with were beyond welcoming. Would recommend to anyone staying especially if you are seeking some downtime from the city life. I would definitely return! Thank you.

Miss C Dec. 2016

The apartment was lovely. The view was nice. The apparement had complimentary cereal, eggs and cider. Nespresso machine was also present :) I never got to meet the host due to my arrival time, however communication was perfect. Fiona allowed us to have a late checkout which so nice, I would defiantly reccomend this property to others. If I needed to go back to Yoveil I would stay here again 100%

Miss S Dec. 2016

This Airbnb experience was our first, and based on a fantastic experience it certainly will not be our last. Exceptional hospitality and a very friendly and helpful host. Flo's cottages are in a great rural location and have fabulous facilities which are extremely well presented and tidy. There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas but we could of spent all day watching the farm animals to be honest!

Miss W Oct. 2016

Everything you could want for a wonderful stay in Dorset. All the little touches were just lovely - wine, cake, breakfast cereals, eggs from the chickens that then roam in front of your door all day along with two lovely white geese. Just idyllic. A lovely area and we recommend heading over to West Bay and visiting the superb Hive Beach cafe (amazing food and breathtaking scenery) and River Cottage for a great Friday night dining experience. 

Miss K Oct. 2016

We had a lovely, relaxing and peaceful stay at Flo's cottages. We stayed in the 'Little 'Stable' which was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The grounds were lovely and having the chickens and geese just outside our door really made our stay more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this cottage stay to anyone looking for a relaxing break away in the country.

Mr T. Aug 2016

I cannot recommend staying at the Little Stable enough. Fiona,Jason and their family were more than accommodating and it was a privilege to meet them and get to know them. The photos simply do not do justice to how stunning this place really is, not only is the place beautiful, but also the local village where you can wonder for hours either through countryside or village lanes. The accommodation is fantastic, it has everything you need or would want for a two person get away from busy life where you can just switch off from everything. The small touches made by Fiona were lovely, and made the cottage very welcoming. The chicken and geese based outside the stable are a lovely touch, not loud and happily wonder round whilst you can sit outside and relax. If you wish to venture out it has some lovely nearby spots, we went down to Weymouth for one of the days, which has a fantastic beach. And I know there are many more places to visit which we would love to visit if we get another chance. Overall I would love to visit again, and I am sure me and partner will. 

Mr M. Aug 2016

We had a lovely stay in the apartment. It was a good base for a day trips to the coast. Fiona was available for anything we needed and gave us a lovely cake and bottle of wine when we arrived. Would recommend. Thanks.

Mr D. Aug 2016

Fiona and Jason couldn't have been more accommodating, friendly and helpful. The whole experience at The Little Stable exceeded our expectations - it was a beautiful setting with plenty of places to visit, but the actual accommodation was so stylish and comfortable it was hard to leave! Wonderfully relaxing and great fun watching the geese and ducks go about their daily routines. Can't wait to come back! ️️️️️

Mrs L. Aug 2016

We really enjoyed our stay at Fiona's place. The little stable was complete, very neat, fully equipped and the bed was gorgeous with very nice linen bed sheets. The quiet environment was a surplus. We appreciated the warm welcome and treats that were present upon arrival and enjoyed the fresh eggs from the chickens. A real recommendation.

Mr V. July 2016

Well what can I say .... my friend and I had a lovely stay at The Little Stable Boutique. Fiona was a fantastic host and made it a very pleasant trip for us. (the homemade Lemon Drizzle Cake on arrival went down a treat!) The stable is comfortable, relaxing and finished with all the high-quality amenities you could ask for. We were pleasantly surprised to find that Fiona had ensured we had everything we needed including milk, eggs, cereal, wine and even homemade Gin! Sitting outside and watching the stars was one of my favourite things to do here which topped every evening off. However, the stable has some chickens, geese and ducks which are very friendly and add a lovely country sound to wake up to in the morning. I would definitely recommend visiting The Little Stable with it's beautiful location, private grounds and fantastic hosts you're sure to have just a fantastic time as we did. Thanks again Fiona!
