About this house rental

Peace and plenty are assured in the private garden of your converted 18th Century stable retreat. A short drive, through lush lanes and past flower-filled hedges, will take you to picturesque St Ives with its plethora of restaurants, galleries and cobbled streets.

The beaches in this area are stunning, mostly white sands and clear blue seas; and if you are searching for hidden coves, there are many waiting to be discovered. Walks are abundant, be it across the moors or along the Tinner's Way to the coastal path, and your pooch can come too.
Set within an enclosed private garden with a bench, gas barbecue and table and chairs, in the grounds of the owners' home, Smithy's Stable is perfect for two. The open plan living area is warmed by a roaring wood-burner and boasts an en suite bedroom, which is home to a double bed and separated from the living space by open paneling.
Smithy's Stable has been decorated with style and flair. Exposed granite walls, slate and solid oak floors and a small but well-equipped kitchen area, with a two ring gas hob and mini oven, complete the cozy charm and character of this converted stable. The quintessential romantic retreat for your Cornish holiday.
Check in FRIDAY.

    Even though this is a small property, it contains everything that you need for your stay. It was a little chilly when we were there so we lit the wood burner, which was very cosy. We made use of the smart TV and we enjoyed sitting out in the pretty garden.Mark was very welcoming when we arrived and provided us with plenty of local information. Margaret also made us some delicious scones for our arrival which we thoroughly enjoyed.

    Could not be happier with our stay at “Smitty’s Stables”. The place was clean, shower “huge” and bed comfy. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful …. I can’t remember seeing so many bright stars in the sky at night - breath-taking. Mark was so pleasant and helpful… even stocked the kitchen with milk, tea and coffee for us….. much needed after the drive from London. I strongly recommend that you stay here!!!

    We had a wonderful time here! It was so nice to return from day trips to a quiet comfortable Cornish Cottage. Our hosts, Mark and Margaret, have put their hearts into every aspect of the property and could not have been more welcoming. I would not hesitate to return here or give it our fullest recommendation.

    Smithy’s Stable is a lovely little cottage halfway between Penzance and St Ives, so the perfect spot for exploring West Cornwall. Mark and Margaret are wonderful hosts and provided numerous adventure ideas. You will need a car — and need to believe that the car is not as wide as you think!

    A lovely, cosy (converted stable, I think?🤔). So welcoming and friendly. Nicely decorated, lovely log-burner and very comfy bed, with great shower. Owners left me a chocolate Easter bunny, a welcome card and primroses. Thank you 🙏 for a lovely, comfy stay. Make sure you get good directions, as down some Cornish country lanes (will need a car), but only 7-min drive to St Ives, and similar to Penzance, so great location. Owners very helpful in all respects, highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
