Property Location
St Mawes is one of the finest waterside villages in Cornwall. Situated overlooking an idyllic bay on the eastern side of the famous Falmouth Estuary, St Mawes has one of the mildest climates in Britain due to its proximity to the Gulf Stream. The sea is at the heart of the village and has helped shape St Mawes from the little fishing village to the fashionable holiday destination popular with visitors. A mecca for boating enthusiasts, St Mawes is a trendy sailing centre. Weekly club racing, village regattas and larger events are commonplace on the superb waters of the bay all through the summer. St Mawes Castle was built by Henry VIII and is a splendid place to take in the views of the Carrick Roads. There are miles of coastal and countryside walks to take in and some idyllic beaches on which to relax and watch the world go by. The little Place Ferry takes visitors to explore St Anthony's Head or regular ferries to Falmouth. Being situated on the seafront, the village is also known for the restaurants and pubs that serve superb fish and shellfish dishes all year round.
Truro Cathedral dominates the skyline of the only City in Cornwall, set on the original St Mary's Church site. The current building's foundations were laid in 1880. Bodmin still holds the official title of Cornwall's County Town, but many view Truro as the focal point of Cornwall. The Hall for Cornwall, situated on Lemon Quay, attracts many famous visiting artists performing ballets, dance, stand-up comedy, and west end shows since its refurbishment in 2007. Lemon Quay plays host to many events throughout the year, including the Cornwall Food & Drink Festival in the Autumn and the famous Truro Fatstock Show just before Christmas. Regular farmers markets occur every Wednesdays & Saturday, and there are also arts & craft markets on Saturdays. The Royal Cornwall Museum tucked away on River Street hosts many visiting exhibitions and amassed a sizeable collection of its own.
There is a wonderful range of shopping for the visitor including all the regular high street stores including Marks & Spencer, Tescos & Sainsburys, and a wide range of more specialist stores. It really is worth a wander through the back streets and alleys to find some fabulous little boutiques. Truro, located in central Cornwall, is a great base for exploring the County, 20 minutes from the North Coast, 30 minutes to Newquay Airport, 20 minutes from Falmouth, home to the National Maritime Museum and 30 minutes from the beautiful Roseland Peninsula and the St Mawes Castle.
St Austell was once the major producer of the world's China Clay. The industry is in decline with cheaper imports, but The Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum, set in two former working pits, depicts the countryside in years gone by. Wet weather activities could include the visitor centre at St Austell Brewery, sampling beers and ales made on the premises. The brewery has recently started exporting its products across the Tamar River to England, so you may find where your favourite brew is made.

Super rural retreat
Reviewed on 05/11/2021Really enjoyed our time at The Lower Stables. Suited us as a family with 3 generations and dogs. Lovely rural location and the accommodation was spacious and cosy. A home from home with everything we needed. We would definitely stay again.

Holiday at Lower Stables
Reviewed on 22/09/2021We had a very enjoyable week at Lower Stables. The property was very comfortable, spacious and extremely clean. The enclosed garden was first class as we took our 5 month puppy along with us. The A?Welcome PackA? left by the owners was a very nice touch. Situated in a rural area which suited us fine.

Nice accommodation. Everything we needed, but noise from above in the mornings puts us off returning
Reviewed on 14/09/2021Lower stables offered nice accommodation and all the amenities we needed. The owners also provided a lovely touch with milk, apple juice and marge available on our arrival. It was also a great location for the surrounding area that we wanted to visit. Whilst it was in a peaceful setting, the noise in the early morning from the homeowners above did not allow for any holiday lay ins we may have wanted and required a shift of room for our daughter from the single room to the twin to have less of an impact. It was also noisy, albeit less so in the evenings too. If it wasn't for the noise we would consider going back to this accommodation, but sadly as we like our holiday mornings to start with less of a bang we won't be returning!

Lovely place to stay.
Reviewed on 11/08/2021Very nice place, very clean, all mod cons, rooms well apportioned, another comfortable chair would be nice as only a 2 seater sofa and lazy boy chair (greatly enjoyed) in the lounge area . Additional cutlery would be great as accommodation available for more than 4 people staying and only 3 forks! Really enjoyed our stay in the lower stables.

Comfortable Cottage for Family Holiday
Reviewed on 29/07/2021We enjoyed our stay at the cottage very much and the presentation of it on the website is quite accurate as it was as we expected it to be when we arrived: spacious kitchen / lounge area, convenient utility area for washing and 2nd toilet, three bedrooms, two spacious the third a bit smaller. The bathroom is fine the main requirement fulfilled was a powerful and hot shower! Pint of milk and a few other things on arrival (like cornish scones, jam and clotted cream!) was welcome and unexpected. The area is quiet and you have to drive to visit anywhere which again was fine as we knew that. We didn't go on holiday for the wifi although its important for our teenagers - once connected it seemed to work fine but does not reach all parts of the cottage and you have to stand close to or in the third bedroom to connect. Having said that the SMART TV works absolutely fine as we used catch up and netflix with no problem.

Nice and peaceful aside from peak hours
Reviewed on 14/07/2021Stayed at Lower Stables with our 1yo and 3yo who loved the clean, spacious, one-level accommodation. The cottage was well laid-out, generally perfect for kids and nice and quiet aside from in the mornings and evenings when the child(ren?) upstairs were running and occasionally scooting across the the floor which did wake our baby up unfortunately. The wifi was nearly non-existent which is fine but would be good to know in advance as I was on a working holiday. I had brief contact with the owners regarding a breakage and they were very courteous and overall we had a lovely stay.

First holiday with the dog
Reviewed on 14/07/2021Perfect stay. Conscious that young family was upstairs and our dog barked on occasions. It didn't seem to bother the family though.

Mixed feelings
Reviewed on 02/07/2021A nice property, which would benefit from more kitchenware - not enough pots/pans/crockery for a property which sleeps five. WiFi is very hit or miss and mobile phone signal is patchy, but this is a rural property so probably to be expected. The owners live upstairs and with young children running around on wooden floors noise was an issue - it would have been good to know this in advance. Nighttime and early morning noise spoiled a relaxing week.
