The Old Stables
A Countryside Lodge with Hot Tub on a Cornish Alpaca Farm
A cosy lodge with wood burning stove, private hot tub and countryside views on a Cornish alpaca farm! The Old Stables is set in a peaceful yet accessible location, 10 mins from the Tamar Bridge, the perfect escape whether you want to explore Cornwall’s beautiful south coast, walk in pretty countryside, meet the alpacas and enjoy the farm or simply relax in your own private hot tub! The lodge is like a shepherd’s hut inside, only bigger!
The Space
The Old Stables is an inviting and warm open-plan space, with a woodburner, a king-sized bed, dining table, sofa and smart TV with Freeview and Airplay available. The kitchen has an induction hob and a microwave, as well as a coffee machine, dishwasher and fridge. The cottage has its own WiFi service for guests to use. There is a shower room with towels and bathrobes provided.
Behind the lodge is a terrace with lovely countryside views across the valley to the hillside beyond, and your own private hot tub! Laid-back chairs and a chiminea make a perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine or sit with a glass of wine and watch the stars at night.
Next to The Old Stables is a gate with direct access to the farm; our guests are free to wander around the farm and our woodlands, say hello to the animals and make use of our picnic spots and trails. We are very enthusiastic about our animals and always happy to introduce them! Our very friendly cats are likely to come and visit you during your stay.
Other Things to Note
The Old Stables is in a beautiful rural setting on Popham Farm, yet in a surprisingly convenient location! Within 20 mins drive you can be on the beach, walking on the moors, or parked in the centre of Plymouth! The Southeast corner of Cornwall has a beautiful coastline, with beaches such as Seaton Beach, Whitsand Bay and Talland Bay nearby. You can head off to explore South Cornwall’s coastal towns and villages, including Looe, Polperro and Fowey. There is fabulous walking on both Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, as well as the beautiful Tamar Valley and the coast. Our nearest pub is The Weary Friar in Pillaton, which is just over a mile walk from Popham Farm. There are a number of other pubs and restaurants in the surrounding villages, including the Michelin star rated Crocadon Farm. We are very close to the well-known St Mellion golf course, and there are watersports and horse riding available nearby too.
