Totally agree with
all of the very positive comments made by previous visitors to
'Carriers Stable'. we loved our little Christmas tree and the Christmas
stockings where a lovely and kind thought. Cooking Christmas dinner was
breeze - loosing the weight we gained is another matter!! The pheasant paid us a visit along with many other birds which are a joy to watch from the kitchen window. We recommend Seven in the village, and the Buddle Inn at Niton for good food at good prices. Vanessa & Glyn - we wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon. Kent. |
Thank you so much for
a really lovely break, fabulous surroundings & the most delightful
accommodation, it was great to be able to relax & enjoy ourselves.

best of all is the Crab Shed at Steephill Cove, the nicest place on the
