Wow what a beautiful home! We enjoyed a peaceful, restful week at Fable.
The views are outstanding and Portloe is a small, quiet and very pretty village. The interiors are top notch and we enjoyed cooking in the lovely kitchen. It’s really well equipped and the table was a good size so it was a great space. Beds comfy and bathrooms fabulous - I recommend highly!
