We had a fantastic stay at Stable End. Well situated for exploring North Cornwall and the Moors. The Rising Sun pub down the road offered good beer and excellent quality food. Geoff the owner of Stable End was a lovely man and gave us a very warm welcome and farewell. The cottage is well equipped and spacious. We would happily recommend and stay again.Thank you for a great stay.
