Overview
Property code: 58966

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.

Heading outside, the property benefits from a small and private garden area with furniture and BBQ. There is off-road parking for two cars.

We had a fantastic stay at the stables, the cottage was immaculately clean, the kitchen was fully equipped with absolutely everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable and David couldn't have been more helpful. The stables is in a brilliant location to explore both Devon and Cornwall, in a beautifully peaceful setting.

The Stables at Smallcombe is in a very calm & quiet location although less than 10 minutes from the Tamar toll bridge crossing on the edge of Plymouth. The cottage itself is beautifully presented, finished to a high standard and very clean. The only downside is that there is almost no outdoor space, the table and chairs literally by the front door,Read more there is no garden. The location is good for exploring East Cornwall, and West Devon, plenty of interesting places to visit. Hide

Really nice location in a valley and very sheltered. Theres a lovely old fashioned pub within 2 mins walk up the hill. Plenty of wood provided for the wood stove but the fixed heating warms the property up very fast so must be very well insulated. Nice small private seating area to the rear with a barbecue to use too.
