    “Thank you Margi for a wonderful stay in this cosy Old Stable!”

    Such a picturesque village in the heart of Cornwall, with plenty of sea swimming, coastal walks and warming pubs. The cottage itself was such a sweet bolthole, and Margi provided great communication throughout my stay, explaining that the issues with the extractor fans will be fixed soon and providing a dehumidifier as an alternative. The property was super clean, apart from some remnant dog hair from the previous visitor.

Sleeping just two guests, this cosy, quirky property makes for a romantic retreat to Cornwall, in the heart of The Lizard Heritage Coast.

You are welcomed into the property by a cosy open-plan living space with a kitchenette to prepare a picnic for the beach, a breakfast bar to enjoy a glass of wine and a game of cards, and a day bed style sofa so that you can relax in front of the television as the sun goes down.

Climb the stairs to the double mezzanine sleeping platform (restricted head height).
