The Old Stable is a single-storey barn conversion, situated in the perfect location for beach lovers and walkers alike.

With a well-equipped kitchen, dining and sitting areas with a feature old stone fireplace the Old Stable is a real homely cottage.

The bathroom with a double shower is situated next to the double bedroom which completes the tasteful accommodation.

We had a very enjoyable week at The Old Stable cottage in October 2026.

The host was a great communicator and gave an excellent tour at the start of our stay making us feel very welcome. The location is handy for sightseeing across Cornwall and we enjoyed our holiday visiting the many National Trust properties and Padstow.

We had a lovely, comfortable stay.

The owners were very friendly and helpful, and couldn't do enough for us while we were there. Geoff was also very knowledgeable on the local area, giving us several good walks we could do from the front door and suggestions on where to eat. The cottage itself was comfortable and very well-appointed, we didn't want for anything all holiday. A great little cottage for a couple, especially if you like it nice and quiet, with plenty of wildlife and countryside on the doorstep.

Geoff and Kate's property was clean, comfortable and well equiped.

Well situated for coastal walks and the general area. We would stay here again.
