Spacious and well equipped property in an idyllic location but close to Bodmin town centre.
The Stables is a spacious cottage all on ground level with three double/twin bedrooms, a large living/dining room, a well equipped kitchen, a large bathroom with toilet and an additional toilet. As accommodation for a party of up to six it is hard to fault. A particular shout-out for the sofas; most seats seemed to recline! The adjacent stream provides soothing background if it is warm enough to keep the bedroom windows open.
The one aspect of the the listing which is a little inaccurate is that it does not indicate that the property adjoins the neighbouring farmhouse. However that was absolutely not a problem.
Whilst the lane on which it is situated is, like many in Cornwall, very narrow, we only saw about three other vehicles in the whole week we were there.
The location, whilst not coastal, has the advantage that both the north and the south coast are within 30 minutes' drive. Bodmin Parkway rail station is only 10 minutes away, and we found some great deals on train excursions around Cornwall. For example £25 got the three of us to St Ives and back for the day - 3 hours on the train through stunning scenery.
All in all, we had a great time, and I would heartily recommend this property.
