Overall we had a good stay at the Stables. It was quite and relaxing. The only criticism we have is the furniture could do with a little refreshing.

The cottage was characterful and generally well equipped.The proximity to the South West Coast path was a bonus. If you are fit and don't mind climbs, the attractive local beach, Millendreath, is lovely and it has a beach bar which also provides food. Small but important practical items in the house would have helped like a shaving mirror over the wash basin, ( the wall mirror and shaving / cosmetic light was on the opposite wall) and a hairdryer. We also struggled with the directions for the last part of the journey and on such narrow country lanes, precise instructions are essential.
