"Thank you Margi for a wonderful stay in this cosy Old Stable!"
Such a picturesque village in the heart of Cornwall, with plenty of sea swimming, coastal walks and warming pubs. The cottage itself was such a sweet bolthole, and Margi provided great communication throughout my stay, explaining that the issues with the extractor fans will be fixed soon and providing a dehumidifier as an alternative. The property was super clean, apart from some remnant dog hair from the previous visitor.
Thank you very much for your feedback, Ella and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. My apologies that you found some dog hair, this will be addressed.

"What a beautiful little bolt hole."
Cute, compact and quaint literally one minute walk to the beach and pub! Set within a beautiful friendly village. What a treasure this was to find.
Thank you so much for your feedback, I'm delighted you enjoyed the Old Stable and the village of Porthallow- we think it's a rather special place too.

"Great place to retreat to."
My only concern is that all the extractor fans need to be serviced, especially in the wet room. Being a small but pleasant space to reside in it does suffer with condensation which when taking a shower or with heating on tends to makes things a little damp. Otherwise this beauty is definitely on my quirky places to stay.
Thank you for your feedback and I am glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Old Stable . I am sorry that the ventilation fans were not working - I thought we had sorted that problem - but we must take another look!

"We had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the novelty of this quirky accommodation."
The cottage was well equipped and comfortable with everything we needed. However, there is a clear mould problem affecting the wall beside the bed and going down into the bathroom below, which needs dealing with. Mould and mildew spray would do the job. Having two of the three ventilation fans not working probably doesn’t help. The local pub wasn’t serving food.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I am glad you had a lovely stay and enjoyed the quirkiness of the Old Stable .We always value guest feedback, so we can keep things up to scratch.
I am so sorry that the accommodation was showing signs of mildew - we have now had a deep clean using anti-mould spray so hopefully this has dealt with the problem. Thank you for also letting me know about the ventilation fan- it is now working.
I believe the local pub is struggling to find a good chef. I do hope this will not be an ongoing issue, but sadly it's beyond our control. There are other options available for eating out locally.

"Myself and my partner had a wonderful three day break."
I wanted a cottage where we could escape the hustle and bustle, a place where you can really connect with a loved one, with no phones, social media and the rest of the modern distractions we have have today - and that is what we got with this very intimate cottage.
(WiFi is available I will mention, we decided against using it as much as possible however.)
Our little pooch enjoyed his stay and all of his walks around the bay which was a massive plus.
Would definitely stay again!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. The Old Stable is certainly intimate (it's very tiny) but I am so glad you and your pooch enjoyed your stay.

"The village is delightful and unspoiled and the cottage is two minutes from the beach."
The cottage is accurately described as small which we got used to as we only slept and ate there- we were walking the coast path. Cooking facilities are limited but as described and the bed comfortable. Parking in the village was no problem. The pub was closed for the month -unusual we were told - but there is a good beach cafe/bistro open part of the week WiFi was reliable if one needs it. We enjoyed our stay.

"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!
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you and your dog had a lovely time at the Old Stable. We do hope that you will come back again.

"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

"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.
