We had a lovely stay at The Stables. The cottage was an ideal size with plenty of space. It had all the things you could need, including a good sized kitchen with all the equipment. The scones on arrival were delicious, thank you! Bodmin is a great location for travelling in all directions.

Such a beautiful little cottage, close to local amenities, and easy to travel to different locations. It was lovely to arrive to homemade scones, jam and cream. All the essentials had been provided, just very dusty and smelt of damp, despite having the windows open during the day.

Lovely cottage very quiet location on outskirts of bodmin.Saw two deer from the window.Very well equipped kitchen with anything you could need.Only complaint is beds were too soft for me and a king-size instead of a double would have made more sense.
