Our second visit to the Stables.
Our second visit to the Stables.Very clean and cozy.Lovely area and really nice meal at the Kinloch hotel close by.Will definitely be back.Couple of wee niggles , shower could do with a new seal strip to stop water running on the floor, also renew some of the cooking pots and trays as they are past their best.Overall .. excellent !
