Lovely little cottage, perfect for the two of us. Very clean throughout. Heating was very good and generous. White bedding and towels- perfect. Very pet friendly with multiple sized bowls, dog bed and treats. TV signal a bit erratic. Garden furniture could do with being replaced. Directions provided by owner were very good. However the route from Stithians to the cottage, whilst described as ‘narrow roads’, were really very narrow with few passing places. Access track to the cottage was in a poor condition. We’ve stayed in many cottages in Cornwall over the past 20 odd years so we’re aware of ‘Cornish roads’ but these ones were very narrow. Not helped by some folk who refused to give way despite being closer to the passing place. For this reason alone we won’t be returning.

Short End of Summer Break

Set in a lovely tranquil location in central Cornwall. It’s a good hike to the pub and shop but consequently very tranquil. Beautifully and tastefully modernised with everything you could want for an out of the way night within easy driving of Falmouth, Redruth and the coasts.

A wonderful property.

A lovely conversion with everything required for a comfortable and stress free stay. The cottage is spacious, clean, modern and well equipped for two people. Communication with the hosts was great from booking to arrival and they responded immediately to our queries. Highly recommended as a venue for the whole of Cornwall.

A very cosy cottage. Very roomy and well equipped

Very clean. A welcome pack awaited us which included a bottle of wine - extremely thoughtful. Very quiet and lovely views and walks. We would suggest that a 4 wheel drive is used as the unmade track up to the property was a little rough on our fiat. However, don’t let that stop you booking - you won’t be disappointed

Incorrect instructions - please pass to owner

Enjoyed our stay but I said I'd email the owner about incorrect route instructions so please pass on the following: 'Take the 2nd left hand turning signposted Trewithen Moor. Follow this road passing Costcutters local Store on your left continue bearing left over bridge take next left turning signposted Trembroath & Trewithen moor' These are the 2 turns that are wrong. They are both right turns rather than left. However thanks to all the rest of the details we found the way easily Many thanks Sue

We enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Old Stable (barn conversion) cottage. It was lovely and clean, well furnished and very quiet being in a rural location. It was a bit of an adventure finding the cottage and every evening thereafter simply due to the small tight little lanes, typical for Cornwall, but directions from host were very good.

Absolutely love this property. Only downsides are the internet can be a little patchy and the final road is very rocky (could do with tarmac or something) but love it here. Peaceful clean and has everything you need for a getaway. Really friendly and accommodating hosts. Will visit again

Clean modern bathroom and kitchen. Friendly, helpful host. Narrow roads and remoteness make access difficult. Don't hire a large vehicle. Walking paths not really accessible.

Cornish weekend

Comfy converted barn with open rural views and for the size of the property was great value for money. Quietly situated in West Cornwall with access to all that beautiful area has to offer. If youre after a peaceful few days then this is the place for you.

Cornish natural beauty at its best.

Beautifully converted stable in a beautiful landscape, the view from the kitchen/livingroom is gorgeous and the night sky is breathtaking. If one wants to get away from the hectic of a big city to slow down and relax, this is your place. We stayed for four days and totally enjoyed ourselves there.
