We have to look for something with few or no steps also ease of access to shower facilities. This fitted perfectly also the addition of two rise and recline chairs was such a blessing. The kitchen is well equipped with all utensils and electric goods etc. The building was faultless. The views have to be seen to be believed with the occasional visiting flock of sheep. Also Flossie our collie loved it. The location of the property is well within most locations on the island with a 20 min drive. We are looking at coming back soon in the Peak when more places are open. Thank you to the owners of a wonderful property. We enjoyed our stay.

The property is well situated for touring the I.O.W. There are beautiful views across the island and if you like a peaceful retreat this is perfect with everything you need in this well appointed accommodation. Should you have mobility issues this property has been designed with this in mind. Your four legged friend is also welcome at this property. We certainly recommend this property and hope to return sometime in the future. Thanks to Helen & Paul.

We specifically chose this property as it was listed as accessible and it did not disappoint. Great views from the patio and close to a lot of amenities and activities. The property is well equipped with lovely recliner/riser chairs. Iâve recommended The Stables to my in laws.
