They thought of everything

Such a wonderful place to stay with such welcoming hosts. John and Sarah had literally thought of every small detail, including welcoming us with home-made scones jam and clotted cream and different types of tea and coffee and milk ready in the fridge for us. The property was absolutely beautiful, with its own garden with a Seaview and you can see the sea from the living room. It was absolutely spotlessly clean and very well appointed. With beautiful gardens all around the property so every window has a view. It was quiet, a short walk from the nearest beach and John and sarah were on hand to recommend places to visit and are just such kind and lovely people. I have already recommended it to a friend of mine.

A lovely off the beaten track place. Set in beautiful gardens with views of St Mawes

The property was top class. Beautifully furnished, simple clean lines and all mod-cons. Underfloor heating in the big bathroom was a luxury. Very much hope to return again soon. Our hosts could not have been more attentive and helpful. All in all a wonderful few days away.

A truly magical spot - highly recommended

We stayed for 2 weeks in Stable Cottage 8-22 August 2020 Stable Cottage: The cottage itself is 5*star in terms of quality. Recently renovated to an extremely high standard, the cottage is tastefully decorated with every comfort considered. The kitchen has every item one might need for self catering - and lovely thoughtful touches. We loved the french doors opening out onto our private garden area with view of the sea. We had breakfast and supper most evenings on the patio table. And I enjoyed relaxing with a book on the two garden loungers In the sunshine after a long walk. The setting: I was blown away by the truly stunning gardens brimming with flowers and scents on the breeze, bees buzzing, ducks and water birds in the pretty pond, owls hooting at night and cows over the hedgerow. It is a true haven of peace and tranquilly with glittering views across the bay to st Dennis castle and St Mawes (binoculars one of the many thoughtful touches in the cottage). There are two other cottages in the grounds. But the gardens extensive and we did not encounter or hear the guests in the other cottages during our stay. We loved the bucolic atmosphere and sense of being remote, but yet having a superb buzzy little pub (5 Pilchards - terrific food) only a 10 minute walk down a wooded footpath to Porthallow Cove / fishing village where locals and local campers watch the sun go down whilst enjoying a beer or glass of wine on the beach front. Fat Apples cafe - a local institution- with hearty breakfasts and lunches is also a short walk from the cottage (book ahead!). Nearby St Keverne (10 min drive) has a well stocked local store for basic food supplies as well as a butcher and two other delightful pubs. The SW coastal path is on the doorstep and so a perfect spot for keen walkers. The owners and charming hosts - Sarah and John - are Incredibly warm, friendly, helpful and generous but also very discrete and respectful of guests privacy. They gave us so many great tips for walks and things to see - and made us feel so welcome. By the end of our stay I felt like I was saying goodbye to dear friends and am keen to return again for a return visit. A stunning, tranquil location and 5 star accommodation. We will be back!

Outstanding

The property is even better than the images on line. Things we loved: view of the sea stunning gardens the airy light feel inside Spotless modern interior Really well equipped Homemade scones waiting for us! Lovely linen and really comfortable bed Perfectly thought-through little labels But most of all, Sarah and John who own it are THE MOST PERFECT HOSTS! Friendly, confident, gracious and discreet- we really can’t praise them enough. They quietly added a great deal to our holiday and are genuinely, the perfect hosts. They seem to enjoy hosting and it shows. We will be back. Sally and Karin North Yorkshire

A beautiful cottage with stunning Cornish views

There is nothing about this property not to like. The owners have put their heart and soul into developing and maintaining it to a very high standard. It is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The owners Sarah and John Stokes were more than happy to help in any way they could and bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable. The property is also a great place for getting some ‘head space’. It’s location meant that you had the peace and quiet of a rural setting but could walk to the local pub - ‘Five Pilchards’ within 8 Minutes. For a more vibrant location and only 20 minute drive was Porthleven which boasts of a Rick Stein restaurant and a great day out. Further down the Lizard which again is only a short drive are some stunning Coves, which are filled with arts and crafts, cafes, pubs, restaurant and places to walk to soak up the scenery. After living outside of the U.K. for a number of years we decided it was time to look closer to home for a holiday. We were not disappointed; this gem of a cottage, location and its owners are well recommended.

A beautiful property and perfect hosts

Stable cottage is one of three holiday lets in the grounds of the main house, but you are so private you would never know. Each cottage has its own garden area facing away from the others and you are completely in your own space. The cottage has been fitted to a very high standard and tastefully and comfortably furnished - I would say 'a home from home' except that my home isn't as smart as this! Everything you need is here. The gardens have been planted and lovingly tended with a fabulous selection of plants which even in this arid summer gave us a beautiful display of colour and a lovely area to sit out and gaze on. Sarah and John are the perfect hosts - concerned that we had everything we needed, recommending places to eat and visit - with a welcoming cream tea and milk in the fridge when we arrived. I can't praise Stable Cottage highly enough and we have no doubts about recommending the place or staying there again.
