The Old Stables

If you like a quality converted building, amazing views plus peace and quiet, this property comes highly recommended. The Old Stables is has been furnished to a high standard, is light (due to the generous number of huge windows), warm and comfortable, and is blessed with wonderful views all the way across to Dartmoor. Andrew and Jan were super hosts, very helpful but at a distance. It is one of the best self catering places we have stayed in.

Lovely location and accommodation. Andrew and Jan very welcoming and informative of the area.

This is a very comfortable, spacious and light property with stunning views and plenty of peace and quiet. The owners are very helpful and welcoming. There are beautiful walks from the property, including to the coast. Plymouth, Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Totness and Dartmouth are easily reached by car, so there are plenty of wet weather options too.

We enjoyed our stay, the accommodation was very good and well equipped for our needs. Our host were very kind and helpful to us. We would love to go again and we highly recommend it.

A high spec conversion of an old stable block with views across to Dartmoor and walks to the coast, this holiday accommodation suited us perfectly. Add to this, welcoming and thoughtful hosts and we couldn’t have asked for more. Andrew and Janice were on hand to offer tips and advice on local routes, pubs and eating places and whilst we sampled most, we look forward to exploring further on future visits. Definitely a place to return to.

The property is beyond anything we have every experienced when staying in a cottage and we have stayed in many over the years. It is beautiful and the views are to die for.

Everything about the Old Stables is quality from the fixtures and fittings to the furnishings and the decor.

We hardly used the car as we explored the coastline and the local villages. Perfect!

We had a great week at The Old Stables. A high-spec interior, lots of natural light, very spacious, with high quality furnishings. Pretty, well-maintained, self-contained garden with lots of seating areas. We loved the rural location, the peace and tranquility, and also found it convenient for good beaches, and places to visit. Jan and Andrew were very welcoming, and helpful hosts.

Would definitely stay here again. Very comfortable and spacious accommodation. Stylish high spec interior and beautiful gardens. Great walks from the doorstep to the coast path where we saw Peregrines and kestrels. Overall a good relaxing holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the Old Stables, extremely comfortable and stylish inside and a beautiful garden outside. And, whatever the weather, what glorious views! Thanks Andrew and Jan for creating such a wonderful place and for your invaluable insight on great walks and spots to explore too.

Everything superb. Quality of accommodation and welcome of hosts can not be faulted

A really lovely property in a picturesque spot with fab views. Andrew & Janice were there to greet us on arrival and gave us suggestions during the week for walks in the area and also apples from their orchard. All in all a delightful week. We’ve stayed in many Classic properties and this was certainly one of the best.

This was probably the most well appointed, clean and beautiful cottages i have ever stayed in. I cannot fault it, the views were stunning, it was well located, it was clean and fully equipped and everything worked perfectly. A wonderful relaxing place with a peaceful atmosphere

Classic Cottages have many lovely cottages on the site and The Stables must rank as one of the very best. The accommodation is exceptional, the views very good and the garden lovely. We absolutely loved the Jo Downs mirror in the bathroom. Andrew & Jan are very friendly and welcoming and there if they are needed to give advice re The Stables or on places to visit, walks etc. We thoroughly recommend The Stables and hopefully will spend another holiday there at some future date.

We loved staying at The Old Stable’s, it’s certainly in our top two of self catering cottages, with the safety and security of visiting quests taken seriously in the cleanliness and COVID precautions that could not be faulted An excellent cottage with quality fixtures and fittings, designed with every comfort in mind. Lovely landscaped gardens with good seating areas in many locations. The friendly hosts had provided good information on the local area, with walking maps and routes direct from the cottage and further afield.

We enjoyed our stay at the Old Stables. It was so socially distant the nearest neighbour was half a mile away!! The owners gave us access to the vegetable garden and greenhouse produce, as vegetarians this was greatly appreciated. The decor was completed to a very high standard and we appreciated the spaciousness created by the vaulted ceilings. The owners were very conscientious about our safety and this was very valued. The bedding was superb. The duvet was specially constructed so that each visitor had a fresh one. Underfloor heating ensured that constant temperatures were maintained. the southwest facing back patio was a joy to return home to.

An excellent cottage in a wonderfully quiet location, with superb hosts.

Our stay at The Stables was absolutely delightful,a perfect holiday that combines peaceful surroundings, beautiful countryside and marvellous coastal and inland walks the Stables are stunning light airy and spacious with wonderful views of countryside, would like to thank Janice and Andrew for making us so welcome and looking forward to a return visit

Many Thanks. Mr.Mrs. Kershaw

This property is one of the very best and most luxurious Classic Cottages we have stayed in. We had a really wonderful (and safe!) holiday after months of isolation in lockdown. The Stables is situated in the very best position - incredibly close to the coast for many lovely clifftop walks - and a fabulous view of Dartmoor from the property itself, with breathtaking moorland walks within easy reach. Very friendly and helpful owners. Superb!

We have just returned from a fantastic week away in Devon - even the autumnal rain did not dent our enjoyment thanks to our stay in this well thought out barn conversion with all the mod cons including under floor heating and a fantastic shower. We appreciated the welcoming and thoughtful touches of the owners who live close by. The rolling hills from our holiday home windows, including the starry night sky will live long in our memory."

Andrew and Jan were extremely friendly and helpful and the property was ideally placed to explore the south west coast path. Would highly recommend for anybody looking for a peaceful break in beautiful surroundings.

An ideal quiet retreat. The Old Stables is a luxurious, relaxing holiday rental with a beautiful view and lovely garden. Hosts Andrew and Jan ensure that you have everything you require and provide knowledge of the surrounding area. Highly recommended.

This well equipped, spacious cottage in rural Devon really is one of a kind. Stunning views from 'your own' well kept backyard. Most helpful owners.

Beautiful property in rural location with stunning views and a beautiful garden.

Recently converted and finished to a very high standard.

We received a very warm welcome from the proud and enthusiastic owners who also provided useful information about local walks, restaurants and places to visit.

We have stayed in a few Classic Cottage's accommodation and The Old Stables is the best yet.

The owners had clearly endeavoured to make this holiday home very special, with great flare and attention to detail.We can honestly say that it is the most luxurious and comfortable holiday let that we have ever stayed in, and would hope to return. Set in beautiful surroundings and very peaceful - a perfect place to recharge the batteries.There are plenty of lovely places to visit within the S.Hams. The owners made us feel most welcome and were most anxious to attend to our needs.

The Old Stables has been lovingly converted into a comfortable, modern yet homely self catering let with beautiful views. There are some lovely walks on the doorstep and a pub with great food just over a mile or so away. Janice and Andrew are the perfect hosts.
