  • "Such a wonderful little cottage in such a wonderful location!"

    My dog and I had a beautiful time and it was a struggle to leave. The cottage is small and perfectly set out. Comfortable bed and containing everything that is needed. Thank you!

  • "The property is simply not practical or big enough."

    There is no storage space and the bedroom is ridiculously small and very uncomfortable. The facilities are pretty much unusable because the stairs are always in the way. It was described as quirky but in reality it was uncomfortable and unusable and resulted in us leaving 2 days early. I would recommend single night stays only and a total re-think of the layout and facilities

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we’re really sad to learn you were disappointed on this occasion. The accuracy of our descriptions and photographs are very important to us and on reviewing the details we really don’t think we could make it any clearer what to expect when staying here. The Old Stable is a quirky, cosy and compact property and exactly as you see in the pictures. As can be seen in other feedback, happily other visitors have very much enjoyed their stays here. Our reservations team are always on hand and happy to help with any queries you might have when booking to help you ensure you pick the right place for you. Please do get in touch when you are planning your next Cornish break Property Owner

  • "Amazing place, such a warm and cozy stay."

    The port was quiet and friendly. Just a little note, and really not an issue, a new non stick frying pan is needed and there is a slight problem with the drainage of the hand basin in the shower room. Such a lovely holiday, many thanks and so many memories made. Will hopefully be back again. Thankyou.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We have a new frying pan and the plumber has cleared the basin drain- and we're so glad you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner

The property

St Keverne 2 miles.

Resting in the small fishing village of Porthallow near the pretty village of St Keverne, is this detached, stone stable which has been converted into a tiny home: The Old Stable.

Sleeping just two guests in a mezzanine sleeping platform, The Old Stable is a quirky, alternative property for those who are looking for something a little different whilst enjoying all that Cornwall has to offer.

With the added advantage of an idyllic, dog friendly, pebble cove beach just a short stroll away.

Upon entering the property, there is a kitchenette (Note: There is no cooker but a portable two plate hot plate is provided as well as a microwave and toaster), which is great for preparing a picnic for your long day exploring, and a breakfast bar for you to enjoy a spot of breakfast with your loved one.

Cuddle up on the sofa of an evening and enjoy your favourite programs.

Continue through into the utility room with a handy tumble dryer, and then into the wet room which is a great space to freshen up before you head out for the day exploring.

The moveable stairs lead to the mezzanine sleeping platform (with limited head height) has a double bed and a Velux window to let in the sea breeze.

The Old Stable is a romantic and picturesque setting for your next adventure to Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 959159, together sleeping up to four guests.
