About this property
A detached cottage situated behind the owner’s hotel and pub, The Stables lies in Longrock, on the southwest Cornish coast next to a popular beach. Benefiting from wheelchair access with a lift within the property, and an accessible wet-room, The Stables would be great for a getaway to the seaside for anyone looking to enjoy this picturesque part of the world. Completed with reverse-level accommodation, the first floor is home to the open-plan living space accessed either via the internal lift, or the external spiral staircase. Featuring exposed beams and high ceilings, look forward to coming home to this property after a fun-filled day on the beach, and crash on the large cream sofa to watch a film on the TV, or pick up a good book from the selection of books available. The middle of the room is where the lift comes to when reaching the first floor, with the dining and kitchen area beyond this. Sit around the dining table and tuck into the complimentary Cornish cream tea, just make sure you put the jam on first! A contemporary kitchen lies at the back, where you can rustle up some tasty treats and packed lunches to feature on your days out, or cook a meal for the group in the evening, before taking an after-dinner drink out to the courtyard on a balmy evening. Descending the spiral staircase, or in the lift, you will find the two bedrooms; a double and a twin, both with wardrobes and storage for your personal items, a TV in each, decorated in coastal hues of blue, cream and white for a delightful finish. The wet room features on this floor, complete with several hand rails in the room as well as a shower seat fixed to the wall. For a special experience, book in with Cornwall Swimming Horses, where you can ride into the sea in your wetsuit on the back of a horse with no fears of falling off, with special needs riders and those suffering with long term illnesses benefiting from the therapeutic impact of swimming alongside these sentient animals. Walk along the beach up to Marazion and visit the famous St Michael's Mount when the tide is out, and afterwards, visit one of the restaurants which look out to this amazing tidal island, for a perfect sunset evening views. The Stables is a beautiful cottage waiting for you to visit and enjoy this fantastic area of Cornwall.
Longrock is a village located in Cornwall on the southwest coast, hosting a beach and several amenities. There is a village shop, two pubs, a post office, and even a retail park. Long Rock beach stretches out along the sandy coast all the way to Penzance on on side and Marazion on the other; both excellent places to visit to get to know this side of Cornwall.

" The inside is very damp downstairs where the bedrooms and bathroom are located, the bathroom is very mouldy and needs completely gutting to fix the problems, and needs a large extractor fan and a deeper drain to enable the shower to drain away as the water just soaks the floor. The disabled lift is really old and outdated and is starting to rust, itâs also the only way to move between the levels inside, without having to go outside and use the fire escape to go up or down, so the property could definitely use an internal staircase . The property is situated within the beer garden of the pub, which is not ideal when customers are gathered there while using the pub. We did have one meal purchased from the pub which was very nice and the owners were friendly, and the nice little touches were the cream tea that was waiting for us on arrival and the fact that there were dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid and also some tea and coffee items available. Reviewed by Robert Aug 2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above as can be seen is dated Aug 2020. Now in June 2023 it has not had any improvements and certain items within the property have deteriated even further. On arrival there were customers at the tables drinking etc and made no effort to enable us to walk pass with all our luggage and belongings. Many a evening we could not have the door or windows open due to the pub customers being noisy using unpleasant language The external staircase is very rusty in places with bird droppings on the handrail. The description of the property on the website is a candidate for Trade discription. The pictures are far from accurate as they show the 2 bedrooms and bathroom very light where in fact they are dismal and quite dark even in daylight. Reference is made about the shower above and after we used it the first time the water took ages to drain. We contacted the owner who managed to clear the drain, obviously this had not been done for months as it was virtually blocked. With all the bad points it is clearly not inspected by the agents. Cannot understand some of the feedback claiming that it is a desirable property.

The only fault we found was the bathroom which needs updating as one of the problems was that the toilet was too low for less mobile people. Apart from that we had an enjoyable time and the owner and her staff were very helpful and very nice. If we were to go to Penzance again we would be quite happy to stay there. It was very good value .
