The Stables

The Stables is a one-bedroom barn conversion for two at Tremaddock Farm, on the outskirts of St Neot. With one bathroom, a private garden and parking, it is a straightforward countryside base for a couple, and one well-behaved dog is welcome.

WiFi and a washing machine are included, useful for a longer rural stay. A cot and highchair are available for young children. A pub and shop are within a mile. An electric fire takes the edge off cooler evenings, and the windows look out over open countryside rather than a neighbouring property. The garden gives guests their own outdoor area, though it is worth checking whether it is fully enclosed before letting a dog off the lead.

This is not a near-beach cottage. Plaidy Beach is the closest named option at 10.3 miles, with East Looe Beach at 10.5 miles and Talland Bay at 10.8 miles. Those distances make driving the realistic choice for coast days. Inland, Dobwalls is 3.3 miles away, Liskeard 5.9 miles for supermarkets and the railway station, and Bodmin 9.8 miles.

Best for a couple wanting a quiet rural base with parking, a garden and room for one dog. Less good for car-free beach trips, or guests needing step-free assurance.
