Located just close to the River Tamar and the Tamar valley area of natural beauty, there is so much to explore within a small radius of the property, from glorious rural scenery to beautiful moors plus the historic and maritime city of Plymouth. Close by is the pretty village of St Mellion with its renowned golf course and the Rame Peninsula with its beaches and places to eat and unwind. Just along the coast you can discover the traditional picture postcard resort towns of Looe and Polperro which are great for exploring. Other attractions in the area include St Austell, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Mevagissey, the Roseland Peninsula, Monkey Sanctuary,  Porfell Wildlife Park, the Eden Project and many National Trust properties.  Adrenaline Quarry is another close-by attraction offering go-carting, zip lines and open water swimming.

Upon arrival, enter the warm and welcoming hallway, the perfect place for walking boots, sandles and wellingtons or to hang your sun hats and coats. From the hall, doors lead off to the bedrooms, bathroom and the lounge/kitchen/diner. From the moment you arrive, this stunning open-plan property fills you with a great sense of calm and tranquillity. Two steps up to the lounge/kitchen/diner forms the central hub of the property and retains much character, to remind you of the property's past use as stables. The impressive kitchen area is just perfect for that special occasion, consisting of a Rangemaster electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge/freezer. The lounge area continues the stylish theme running throughout, flawlessly furnished with the added advantage of a wood burner for those cooler months and a Smart TV, the perfect place to relax after a day of adventures. Also located on the ground floor is the utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. The bedrooms consist of a double and a twin. Completing the contemporary feel is the shower room with WC.

The Log burner was lovely with plenty of Logs supplied which is great for the Autumn weather, there was plenty of parking for 2 cars and the hosts were very welcoming. The Stables is in a rural Read morelocation but so close for local pubs and restaurants and great walks and we took the train into Plymouth would definitely recommend Hide

Beautiful property tucked away from town but with easy access to the main roads for access to both Devon and Cornwall. Very friendly owners who live on site. Would highly recommend.
