The Fable | Luxury Self-Catering Cottage | Perranporth, Cornwall

Guest testimonials

We had a lovely stay with lots of lovely coastal walks and gorgeous food. Lucy was wonderful and came by to change the hot tub mid stay when it got overcome by blossom. The hamper of goodies was a lovely touch too. Such a beautifully fairy tale looking cottage. We will probably be back!

What a gorgeous location to spend my 30th birthday! This is our first time in Cornwall and we couldn’t have picked a better week - it’s felt like summer! We’ve had an amazing stay in this gorgeous cottage, it really does have everything you could want in a staycation. We can’t wait to visit again, thank you so much.

The Fable was such a dream, we loved our time and stay here. We come from California and have been so delighted by the area and people. We have a few friends that live locally and we cooked them food, many hours were spent singing and playing the guitar by the fire, baking pasties, and lounging in the hot tub. We could not have had a better time, everything was so well put together so many thanks. Such a wonderful place, in a wonderful part of the world.

What an absolute dream of a property, we would quite happily have spent the entire week hibernating here. Shame we were in a part of the country we´d never visited before and felt we should at least venture out a couple of times to explore! We just loved every single second of our stay and our children haven´t stopped talking about it since, nor have we in all honesty. The property is beyond divine. Super clean, a great location and with all the facilities you can dream of. We wouldn´t have changed a single thing.

After getting married in London we drove down to The Fable for our honeymoon, and what a glorious week we have had! Gleaming sunshine all week, watching the sunset at Wheal Coates and walking to Callestick for some ice cream. We have loved the peace and serenity, and it´s been so nice to hear nothing but birds and the gentle bubble of the hot tub! We can´t wait to stay here again in the future.

After a long lockdown and months of being at home, we arrived on a quiet Sunday to this beautiful cottage bursting with summer roses and sunshine. The children gasped "it´s a fairy tale cottage!" and it most certainly is. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay with nature trails and beaches all within easy reach. The cottage is so cosy and clean, thank you for a wonderful stay.

So sad to have reached our last day of the most special and amazing holiday. It has been just the most restorative stay made possible by being so comfortable and cosy in this beautiful cottage with the very best of friends. We have enjoyed wonderful walks on the beaches, but never happier than when snuggling up by the fire under the fairy lights. Thank you for sharing this wonderful home, we very much hope to return very soon.

A stunning, peaceful cottage and beautiful decor with all the conveniences. We waw out Storm Dennis by the log fire, and the conservatory was a wonderful yoga space replacing walks. We ventured to Holywell Bay and Crantock Beach; the best I have ever seen in all my travels around the world! Watching surfers in the storm was fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful stay, and the housekeeping was immaculate.

An absolutely stunning cottage, the fabrics & furnishings are so luxurious and comfortable. It´s very easy to unwind here and so quiet and peaceful. We have never seen the dogs so relaxed! We would love to come back one day.

What an absolutely heavenly week! The weather fairies were definitely smiling on us all week and we had glorious winter sunshine and enjoyed long walks with the pup and twinkly Christmas festivities. We explored a lot of the stunning beaches and highly recommend Perranporth, Watergate Bay and the wonderful Padstow. Apart from that, we just wanted to snuggle down in the house! We want to live here forever. The owner has impeccable taste. Looking forward to discovering the rest of your magical properties!

We have enjoyed our stay at this beautiful country hideaway. It rained nearly every day but the comforts of this quaint cottage still made for an enjoyable break. We will definitely be returning. Thanks for a wonderful stay! P.s. love the décor!

Wow, wow, wow! The Fable was so much more than we expected with every detail thought of. The cottage is so cosy and inviting and we relaxed so much, it was very hard to leave. The décor of the cottage is stunning and we will definitely be coming back as well as recommending to others!

Thank you for the most restorative stay at this most gorgeous of cottages. We feasted like kings, slept like babies and at the dog´s request, explored miles and miles of beautiful beaches and countryside. This has been our first trip to Cornwall and will definitely not be our last. There is so much to see and do here, we´ve hardly scratched the surface. This has been an ideal spot to head off on a different adventure every day. We hope to be back in the not too distant future.

Thank you for a most magical stay in your beautiful cottage. We were looking for a relaxing break in the winter sun and found ourselves here. What a great decision. It´s been the perfect holiday, cold and sunny beach walks, tasty beer, fabulous food and a cosy romantic fire to come back to. We will certainly be back. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for making this a perfect week. So many thoughtful touches make this cottage a beautiful place to stay. We have loved this area of Cornwall, some fantastic beaches and sunny winter walks.

We loved the gorgeous property with its comfy sofas, well equipped kitchen and especially the linen bedding...Dreamy. The location was perfect for our family with walking and our boys surfing. Everything was fantastic!

Our stay at The Fable was absolutely lovely, we would definitely recommend to others wanting to stay in the area. The cottage is so beautiful. Thank you!

What a beautiful cottage, we have had a great week even though the weather was not. The dogs have loved the walks along the beach at Perranporth. Thank you for making this great place so perfect.

Gorgeous, cosy cottage with lovely design features and a beautiful garden. The time has flown past and we have relaxed and have forgotten all about our busy lives. Thanks again Cornwall and Unique Homestays and the Sonos music system is great.

We had the most wonderful stay in this perfect cottage. Everything we could have possibly needed was here and the place is decorated so thoughtfully,we really could not have asked for more. It is a great location, we loved getting to know this part of Cornwall, the beaches around here are gorgeous. Thank you for the most glorious stay.

We very much enjoyed getting to know this part of Cornwall. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. We also enjoyed the many design features of the cottage. Thank you to the owners for your hospitality. We shall certainly be returning to Cornwall in the future.

Had a wonderful week´s break with generally lovely sunny weather. Everyday spent walking, loved Holywell Beach, Chapel Porth walk and delicious onion soup at Chapel Porth cafe. A lovely cosy cottage, a welcome sanctuary after long days out.

Beautiful hideaway with an amazing interior. The Fable has made our first holiday in Cornwall an unforgettable one. The cottage is very well equipped. Our kids loved the Sonos sound system and our dogs Beany and Amy loved exploring the garden. We´ve had such a great time here and have enjoyed spending everyday on the beach. Would love to come back as soon as possible.

What a fantastic place to stay. A perfect winter retreat; everything from the cosy sitting rooms and fire, to the snug bedrooms and winter walks. Our two small children loved the beaches and coastal walks. We would love to come back one day! Thank you.

The photos do not do The Fable justice! We thought we were staying in a smaller space, but once inside there is lots more room to relax in. It´s beautifully furnished throughout and every corner is filled with interesting pieces. The kitchen is the real heart of the home where we enjoyed fantastic suppers. The living area was perfect for snuggling up by the fire afterwards. Thank you, we had such a brilliant holiday in this magical fairy-tale cottage!

Deep within pastoral Poldark country, at the end of a winding lane, sits a luxury thatched cottage, just a few miles from Perranporth Beach on the North Cornwall coast. From the ambrosial rose gardens to the hot tub nestled beneath glowing festoon lights, The Fable is a nostalgic fairy-tale home with a blush pink door and wonky windows. With its fair share of magazine features, it's an editorial dreamhouse within the rural hamlet of Ventongimps. Read more...
