We had a lovely stay at sawmill cottage. As a family of 4, we were very comfortable in the cottage, Jamie & Louise were very personable and great hosts. The cottage was clean with hot running water, comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed sitting in the garden and even had butterflies land on our heads. Great location to visit the main seaside towns such as polperro and loue. Hidden gem

Just returned from a wonderful week at the Sawmill. The house is beautifully appointed, with everything you could want. Also has the added bonus of staying cool when the temperature soared. Jamie & Louise provide a wonderful welcome basket with homemade bread which we all loved. ( Thank you). Would love to return in the future.
