The Old Stable

The Old Stable is a single-storey, semi-detached cottage on the Trethin Estate near Camelford. It sleeps four in two bedrooms, a double and a 2'6" twin better suited to children, with a shower room. All the rooms are on the ground floor, but three steps lead up to the front door, so the cottage may not suit guests with limited mobility.

Inside, an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area has a wood burner and oak floors. Outside there is a private front lawn with garden furniture, a shared recreation field and a shared games room with pool, table football and table tennis. Off-road parking is for 1 car. Pets are not accepted. There is no WiFi, and laundry is in a shared utility outside the cottage, which suits a switched-off short break better than a long working stay.

The coast is a drive rather than a walk. Tregardock Beach is the nearest at 4.2 miles, Bossiney Cove is 5.2 miles and Port Gaverne's sheltered cove is 6.3 miles, with Camelford itself the base for shops and Bodmin Moor walks.

Friday is the changeover day, and the cottage is best booked as a practical, well-located base rather than a polished retreat.

**Best for:** a couple or a small family wanting a single-storey cottage with a wood burner and a private garden - though not dog owners, as pets are not accepted.

**Less good for:** guests who need WiFi or step-free entry, and anyone wanting a beach on foot.
