We had a lovely week at Mill House, a cream tea was waiting for us on arrival as well as an Easter Egg hunt kit which was a nice touch. Great base to explore Cornwall from a rural and peaceful setting.

We have had the most wonderful break.The Mill is in a beautiful location surrounded by fields and very close to the moor. Everything you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday was supplied. Lovely cream tea was waiting for us on arrival with a welcoming card. Really did not want to leave. Hope to return in summer months.

Stayed here for a week in the October half term. Delicious scones, cream and jam were in the fridge waiting for us plus a carton of milk which was very handy! Lovely property. Loved the kitchen. It was so big!! Very well equipped ~ it had everything you need. Plenty of space for food as there were 3 fridges with small freezer space in 2 of them.The property had a spiral staircase which was very nice. It was a bit tight but not a problem for us. Bedrooms were cosy and comfortable. We didn’t use them all as there was 4 of us.We had a lot of fun in the games room which was also very well equipped. Pool table, football table, other games and also had a large TV in there. Note that the games room is shared with the other property and is in a separate building in the grounds. Nice outside space too but it rained while we were there most days so wasn’t able to sit out and enjoy the views. A good base for getting around. Not far from the A30 and the A38. The Wi-Fi was a bit sketchy but you are in the countryside!All in all we had a wonderful time - highly recommend this property.
