Guests say

Mill House in Cornwall receives high praise for its well-equipped kitchen, spacious and clean accommodation, and friendly farm environment. Guests enjoyed the cosy Aga, the secure garden, and the engaging farm activities. The property serves as a good base for exploring Cornwall, despite some remarks about narrow access lanes and one report of dampness in sleeping areas.

The property is noted for its cleanliness, particularly in the kitchen. However, one review mentioned a dampness issue with a musty smell in the bedrooms, which slightly lowers the score.

The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and as a base for exploring Cornwall. The narrow lanes mentioned may require careful navigation, but this does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.

The property is generally found to be comfortable, with a cosy Aga and spacious rooms. However, there were some complaints about uncomfortable beds, which affects the comfort score.

The reviews highlight excellent kitchen facilities and enjoyable farm activities. However, there is a mention of structural issues related to dampness, and without further information on the extent of these issues, it is not possible to provide a score.

Guests were delighted by the thoughtful touches, such as complimentary scones and cream, and the owners' willingness to engage guests in farm activities. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be provided on every occasion.

    Chris, the owner, greeted us on arrival and he was just so lovely. And there was home made cake on the kitchen top. The farm is brilliant there are cows, horses, hens. We had fresh eggs everyday The cottage is spacious, clean and the garden is huge! Brilliant for our little dog. Also did a couple of bbqs using the grill. Great location, we went to Looe, Polperro, Fowey, Polkerris Beach, Lost Gardens of Heligan. Highly recommend and we would stay again. Thank you for the warm hospitality Chris & Vicki.

    Lovely holiday cottage! Plenty of space for all 9 of us! Kitchen was the best equipped one we had ever seen! Owner was lovely and the complimentary cakes were a special touch! Our girls loved the pony rides, chickens and billy the farm cat! Great base for exploring! Looe was wonderful and we really enjoyed the beach there and the crab catching! We had a lovely meal at the ship Inn Polperro which was a beautiful village and well worth a visit! Only slight negative feedback is the beds, they are quite uncomfortable and some of us were suffering with a bad back! I would probably recommend a mattress topper! But all in all a great week had by all.

    Mushrooms were growing rapidly. The bedrooms smelled like rotting wood and carpet. This was a structural problem. We have feedbacked the owner but he ignored our complaint. We will send you a seperate mail with photographs …
